Theory Test Prep

1. Confirm you're eligible

You must be 16+ for most licence categories.

Have some form of ID ready (passport or public services card).

2. Gather the documents + info you'll need

You need these before you even try to book:

• Valid email address (you'll get all confirmations here).
• Valid phone number (optional but useful for reminders).
• Payment method (debit/credit card).
• Category you're sitting (usually B for cars).
• Your PPS number (very often required).

3. Create / log into your MyRoadSafety account

• Go to https://www.myrsa.ie/
• Register or log in.
• Verify your email if needed.

4. Find a test centre + choose your date/time

Inside the portal:

• Select Book Theory Test.
• Choose your county and test centre.
• Look at available dates — pick the earliest that suits you.
• Confirm the slot.

5. Pay for the test

Standard car theory test: €45 (price can change but this is the usual).

• Pay by card.
• Wait for the booking confirmation email.

6. Start preparation (do NOT skip this)

To actually be prepared:

• Official RSA Questions & Answers (the exact bank used in the real test).
• Practice hazard perception (if your category needs it).
• Practice mock exams until you consistently score 90%+.

This is where your DriveFlow-style prep system fits in.

7. Know what ID you must bring

Accepted ID for Ireland usually includes:

• Irish passport
• Irish Public Services Card
• Irish Residence Permit

Bring the exact ID that matches the details used during booking.

8. Understand test-day rules

These are non-negotiable:

• Arrive 15 minutes early.
• No phones or smartwatches inside.
• No notes, no study materials at the desk.
• You must sign in and confirm your identity.

9. Double-check logistics the day before

This is where most people mess up. Tick all of this:

10. On the day

• Arrive early
• Sign in
• Locker your belongings
• Do the practice questions on the screen
• Take your time — you have more than enough
• Review before submitting

11. After the test

• If you fail → you can re-book immediately.
