Theory Test Suite. Pupils who use Theory Test Suite are twice as likely to pass their theory test.

Theory Test Suite allows you to practice the multiple-choice questions and hazard perception videos wherever you are. Whether this is at work, on the bus or at home. Using the mobile app or the website from a desktop/laptop device, you can access the system from wherever you are.
You’ll be able to use Theory Test Suite from home between your driving lessons and as well as helping you pass the theory test, it will also give you a better knowledge of the road and the way it works. This will give you more confidence in your practical lessons and help you learn that way.

If would like to read about us in more detail, then here is the information on why YOU need to choose 1st 4 Driving as your driving school for driving lessons.
You need a driving school in your area that you can trust, and one that is backed by strong foundations and correct and proper teaching, which is not often found in most other driving schools. You need to know that the driving school you choose will get you through your driving test at a pace to suit you and not waste your valuable money and time. Driving lesson price can not necessarily guarantee all this.
While it’s true that the most expensive is not necessarily the best, it’s probably true that the cheapest won’t be. Buying driving lessons in Portsmouth is a life skill and something that shouldn’t be chosen by picking the cheapest driving lessons around. Your driving instructor needs to be honest and needs get you to where you want to be in a time frame that suits you. Therefore, what you want is the independence of driving on your own as soon as possible and as cheaply as possible. That’s where we come in.
- 1st 4 Driving was established in 2000 and incorporated in 2005, so you know we’re here to stay for you.
- We get you on the road to independence quicker with our proven systems.
- While not the cheapest initially, we will save you £££s in the long run by reducing the overall amount of lessons you take.
- Our high first-time pass rate ensures you don’t waste money on extra driving tests and driving lessons in Hastings.
- Nobody really wants driving lessons or driving tests, you want to be driving your own car independently. That’s what we can do for YOU!
Our pupils love us

Learning to drive in an automatic car in Reading
As far as learning to drive goes, Reading is a town that offers a lot of opportunity to grow and develop your skills as a driver.
Being situated right in the heart of Berkshire, Reading is so well connected with links to London via the M4. You’re also just a stone’s throw away from much greener areas with more intricate country roads. This makes learning to drive in Reading very diverse and interesting, with lots of different road types in the area to practice and gain new skills.
We’ll start you off at your own pace and we’ll never push you faster than you’re comfortable with – but we’ll also never hold you back. Everybody learns to drive at their own speed and with a different learning style and we’ll tailor your automatic driving lessons to your needs.
Our driving instructors use modern coaching techniques approved by the DVSA to help you learn quickly and pass your driving test as soon as possible.
Since June 2018, learner drivers are now allowed to drive on the motorway, as long as they are accompanied by an ADI (approved driving instructor). This will give you a chance to gain valuable experience driving as part of your learning process.
