Before you can move from a learner permit to a full driving licence in Ireland, most drivers must pass the RSA driver theory test. The questions reflect the knowledge set out in the Irish Rules of the Road - from signs and markings to right of way, speed limits, and how to share the road safely with pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles. FirstTry lets you practise that material online, in a format that follows the real exam: 40 multiple-choice questions, eight official categories, a 45-minute clock, and a pass mark of 35 out of 40 for car and motorbike, or 100 questions in 2 hours with a pass mark of 74 for truck and bus.
Several categories test how quickly you recognise risk - the same kind of judgement people often describe as hazard perception test practice, even though the Irish RSA theory exam is delivered as written questions rather than video clips. Working through signs, scenarios, and “what would you do next?” items helps you build the awareness you will rely on long after test day, when you are driving on motorways, in town centres, and on rural roads across Ireland.
FirstTry covers both main RSA question banks: car and motorbike theory for category B and AM learners, and a separate bank for truck and bus licences. You can study one question at a time with instant explanations, or sit a timed mock when you are ready to simulate exam pressure. Subscribers get unlimited practice, full mock exams, and progress broken down by category; free accounts can still answer eight mixed questions per day. Question text is available in 14 languages, which helps many learners who are preparing for a driving licence in Ireland while reading in their first language at home.

Quick answers about the Irish RSA driver theory test and how FirstTry helps you prepare. Where we refer to fees, booking, or test rules, check rsa.ie and TheoryTest.ie for the latest official information.
The Road Safety Authority sets official theory test fees in Ireland. The amount depends on your licence category (for example car/bike versus truck or bus) and is shown when you book. FirstTry subscription pricing is separate and listed on our homepage.
For RSA categories AM and BW (motorcycle/moped and car/tractor/work vehicles), the theory test has 40 multiple-choice questions, a 45-minute time limit, and a pass mark of 35 correct answers. Questions are drawn randomly from the official question bank for that category.
Book only through the official driver theory test service - not third-party sites that claim to take bookings. You choose a test centre, pick an appointment time, and pay online. Bring the ID listed in your confirmation email and arrive about 30 minutes early on test day.
Yes. During the official computer-based exam you can skip or mark questions and return to them within your allotted time, and you can change an answer before you finish. FirstTry timed mocks follow the same shape: 40 questions in 45 minutes for car and motorbike, or 100 questions in 2 hours for truck and bus.
Yes - for vehicle categories A, B, C, and D, the RSA provides theory tests in Irish as well as English. When booking, check the language shown for your category. FirstTry question text is available in 14 languages; the app interface stays in English.
You receive your result at the end of the session. If you do not reach the pass mark, you can apply to sit the test again after a short waiting period defined by the official service - confirm the current rule when you rebook.
