    It's unofficial and out of date and why the references to 'Ireland' with the tricolour etc. An official site wouldn't need to have those.

    I think the DTI or ISM allow you to do a theory test of sorts but there's a good bit missing from them. Be easier to try borrow a friends windows laptop for a few hours.

    I signed up and all the questions are there. Whats more is that you can filter out all the 'easy' questions as you are going through the sections by using the 'mark for revision' section. You cannot do this on the CD. Also, you can take sample tests and the website automatically adds questions you got wrong into your revision section.

    I dont think there is any official website out there. Only the CD which is 20 Quid and very hard to work with. This is good value for a tenner and why does it matter if its offical or not if it helps you pass your test?

    It worked for me.

    Well done to you but I would be reluctant to part with my money on a site which has two glaring mistakes on one sentence of it's front page!

    Considering that many DTT questions are of a technical nature I'm wondering how many other mistakes has it made?

    there first provisional licence

    "there"????

    "provisional licence"????

    :rolleyes:

    I didnt notice the spelling mistakes. All the questions are accurate though as per the CD. I read through them enough times!

    The first mistake is a grammatical one - not a spelling one.

    The second mistake is that, although the site claims to be up to date, it refers to Provisional Licences (which haven't been issued since October)!

    Whats going on here? This website is good for passing your car test.

    There are no missing questions. The 1250 are include bus exams / lorry exams etc. Every single car question is there. I used it and passed my test.

    If you havent used the site yourself then I suggest doing so first and seeing first hand.

    The website is breaking the law and should be shutdown and the fact its becoming known now will hopefully lead to it being shut down

    Anyone wanting to do the test is better off getting the CD which is simple use and understand and more importantly is 100% legal! The owners of this "fake" site are clearly just trying to make a quick euro

    MEPIGME do you have any connection to this site, owner, operating, staff, advertiser etc?

    All but two of your posts on boards.ie relate to promoting this site in some way or another so its mighty suspect

    I had one comment about the site as I thought it was useful. I used the site when it was free and it helped me. Try the site yourself and see how much easier it is than the CD.

    The only reasons I have added a few posts since is that people who have not used it are coming along here slamming it!

    Who gives a s**t. I am outta here.

    If you are being asked to pay for an unofficial site I would avoid it. Who knows when it could be shut down.
