A mock test is only useful if it puts you in the real test’s conditions. The SAAQ’s has a precise structure — 28 questions · 3 sections · 75% each —, it is timed, and it gives no feedback before the end. A “mock test” that ignores any of those three things measures you against a different test than the one you’ll sit.
An untimed quiz, corrected question by question, is an excellent tool — for learning. As a measure of readiness, it lies three times. Without a timer, you take thinking time the test won’t give you. With instant marking, every right answer restores your confidence before the next question — a comfort the test won’t give you either. And with an overall score, it lets you believe a strength makes up for a weakness, when on the test a single section below the threshold is enough to fail — and to cost a wait of 28 days.
The overall score matters little: look at each section, separately. A section below the threshold is a warning to take seriously: that is exactly how the real test is lost. A section just above the threshold isn’t a pass either — on test day, stress and a different draw eat the margin. Book when every section clears the threshold with room to spare, over several mock tests in a row.
And after the verdict, the real work starts: go back through the test question by question, understand every mistake, then return to practising. A mock test measures; it doesn’t teach — preparation as a whole also runs on explained practice and revisited mistakes.
Permis 101’s mock tests reproduce the real conditions: the test’s structure followed, a timed run, no feedback before the end, a verdict per section at the real thresholds. Each run is drawn from a bank of about 600 original questions, and can then be gone back through question by question, with the explanation and the reference to the official guide. They are unlimited with full access — and the app tracks your results per section, to tell you when to book.
It reproduces its conditions: the same structure, sections in the same order, a timed run, no feedback before the end, and a verdict given section by section, at the real thresholds. The questions themselves are original — written from the official study guides, never copied from the test.
There is no magic number. The right cue: clearing the threshold with a margin, in each section, over several mock tests in a row — not once, barely.
No — mock tests are part of full access, and they’re unlimited there. The free preview is for seeing how the app works: 15 explained questions, 3 right-of-way scenarios, a preview of the sign library.
Exactly what a real fail doesn’t let you do right away: go back through every mistake, understand why the right answer is right, then measure yourself again. On the real test, a section below the threshold costs a wait of 28 days — the mock test exists so that discovery happens before.
The same structure as the SAAQ test, a timed run, a verdict per section — and every question explained after the run.
