Practicatest Reviews

After several months

After several months Practicatest or Practica test I have still had no reply from this company regarding my concerns TRUSTPILOT sent them the first review months ago and no one has contacted me I have just sent another complaint There numbers listed on their contact us profile once again do not work No one answers either of the numbers I am so upset that I spent my hard earned money on this company and their promises of a discount for a medical exam voucher finding an English speaking driving school in my area and questions that I had during the test process with their virtual tutor with NO responses to if you have doubts were ever rendered hence never replied to How can trustpilot give them a score beyond one star with one review I plan on taking legal action Do NOT spend your hard earned money with this company

Support communication via either email

Support communication via either email or Whatsapp is really bad in fact they do not reply even after a number of attempts For that alone I do not recommend this company They also make mention of discounts and portals on their website that do not exist

Inaccurate training that uses autotranslate

I took my theory test a few days ago after studying using Practicatest in English until I was passing every time When I got to the actual exam it was like I had studied for something else that s how different the format and questions were There are other genuine reviews below I wish I had seen before signing up It s genuinely easier to learn it all in Spanish than take four or five tests to pass it in English as others have done It s also a lot cheaper to learn properly from the outset rather than paying to keep trying Laura s help dried up as soon as I d paid my fee too don t expect much help there

Don t buy a premium package with driving lessons

If you are going to buy a premium membership that includes two free driving lessons don t do this I bought it and then I wrote to the school to confirm it and Laura answered me that yes I will get it after I pass my theory exam I passed the theory and have already sent three messages to Laura I am afraid she s the only person in the whole school and she prefers to ignore me My friend who paid a tonne of money to this school and didn t pass her practical exam anyway said it s normal for the school so I think that I wasted the money which I paid for this package and I will never get these free lessons

Not so recommended limited amount of questions in english

The database of questions in English is too small I had false confidence that I will pass in the first exam as I practised a lot and always passed the exams but then in the real exam in DGT many of the questions were completely new and I failed 5 errors On the second try I passed only 2 errors after also practising the Spanish questions translated to English with google translate

Two and a half stars 5 10 is probably

Two and a half stars 5 10 is probably what I would give but trustpilot doesn t allow that Overall the platform is more or less good enough to learn on but there s quite a lot of inaccurate questions or mistakes in the questions and you ll be pretty lucky to get a reply from support most of the time they just ignore you Some of the questions really don t make any sense I think they could pay a native speaker to look over them and check the English because at times it s total nonsense Also they offer a premium feature called intelligent testing which is supposed to be algorithmic and adaptively shows you the most useful questions for you but it doesn t do that at all I used it for ages and it didn t repeat the questions I got wrong instead it kept showing me the same questions I d already answered correctly over and over again so that part of the site is a total waste of time The database of questions is good and the mobile app works fairly well However the bad customer support leaves a sour taste and to be honest it feels like not much effort is made besides updating the question database If there were viable alternatives I would be tempted to check them out

Be a bit cautious if doing in English

I do not think I can recommend Practica Test if you re taking the test in English It was useful but I don t think it can be used just by itself - maybe as a supplement 1 The English part is much smaller than the Spanish part smaller sections no option for difficult tests etc 2 The practice tests repeat the same questions over and over even when using their intelligent tests The site says there are 3500 questions but I feel like I saw the same 200 400 over and over Maybe the others aren t translated into English I took one test in the Spanish section at it had many questions I never saw before I was passing all the English practice exams and then in real life got totally different questions whose concepts had not been in any of the practice tests I know some will be new not covered but surprised that the concepts weren t mentioned before 3 Communication wasn t that great I received an email when I signed up but no links help for medical voucher it s not an actual voucher - just mention our name as this one place etc WhatsApp responses were prompt so that was good slight language barrier though I asked about the podcast audio books they mentioned but they said they were large MP3s so weren t on the site but then didn t send them to me when I asked Also I sent 2 emails and never got a response My last was an email outlying my concerns and asking if it was possible to get a refund for the 2 driving lesson part since I wouldn t be able to use that No response so I sent a WhatsApp asking about it and they asked for my email but never responded after that A bit weird

I was pleased with this platform

I was actually very pleased with this thorough and well designed platform especially comparing it to AEOL which I also used I recommend it BUT don t be taken in by the introduction of your personal tutor who reaches out to welcome you when you join It s a primitive and completely useless bot Luckily I never really needed it

Great learning tool but some room for improvement

I ve used PracticaTest to prepare for my theory exam and have over 500 tests completed The theory summary is pretty spot on as it doesn t overload you with information that you won t need for the test unlike the official theory book so by reading and memorising all of it you should already be good to go When it comes to the actual tests I was mostly satisfied with it I think the unit tests were the better option to go for completing them unit by unit until you finish all 16 and over again Standard random or intelligent tests were decent to do in between unit tests but after doing them for a while I ve noticed that it tended to cycle through a question pool of maybe 500-1000 instead of the 3500 that is advertised Being able to save troublesome questions is a very helpful option to learn them The WhatsApp support was quite poor when I had some issues with logging in although the issue fixed itself on the following day so I wasn t too bothered Finally I ve recently had my theory test and passed with 1 mistake When I looked through the questions 90 of them were the ones I would have seen in PracticaTest exams already However there were those 10 that I haven t and after doing over 13 000 questions I definitely would have if they were in the database So my advise is really read through the theory part before going for your test to refresh your memory on a few things and you should be golden Good luck
