The official test
In Queensland you pass a road-rules test before you can apply for a car (C class) learner licence, either online inside PrepL, the learning and assessment program, or as an in-person written test. TMR is replacing the written test with PrepL, but until PrepL is made mandatory you can choose either, and they are marked differently.
An online course that combines the learning and the assessment, taking around 4 to 6 hours at your own pace on a phone, tablet or computer. It covers three areas — your driving attitude, signs and rules, and sharing the road with others — and the assessment is embedded in the course, unlocked as you finish each learning stage. You can enrol from 15 years and 11 months, you pay the fee once, and you then have 12 months of access to finish it. The final test is 30 multiple-choice questions and you need 90% — 27 of 30 — to pass. Miss it and you wait 24 hours before trying again.
Sat in person at a transport and motoring customer service centre. Until PrepL is made mandatory you can choose it instead of PrepL; after that, it is expected to stay available only to people TMR exempts, such as those without internet access. It is also 30 multiple-choice questions, but it is marked in two parts: at least 9 of the 10 giving-way questions, and 18 of the 20 on road rules and driver licence requirements. You can only sit it once a day, the fee applies to each attempt, and a pass stays valid for 5 years.
Passing it
TMR treats giving way as its own part of the written test — ten of the thirty questions. Under PrepL a giving-way mistake costs exactly what any other mistake costs — there is no separate threshold, just the overall 27 of 30. On the in-person written test it is different: those ten questions are marked as their own part and you can only afford to miss one. Either way, work through every scenario — unmarked crossroads, T-intersections, slip lanes, merging, U-turns — until you can say who goes first without hesitating.
Because the assessment is embedded and unlocks in stages, you cannot skim to the end. Budget the 4 to 6 hours properly rather than starting the night before, and remember the clock on your access is 12 months from enrolment.
Twenty-seven of thirty means three wrong answers across the whole test. Practise until you are consistently above that, on questions you have not just seen, rather than scraping it once.

The road ahead
The minimum age for a learner licence in Queensland.
That's what this practice test is for — keep going until you consistently score 90%+.
Every hour with a professional instructor counts as 3 logbook hours (up to 10 lesson hours) — the fastest way to fill your logbook.
Rules are set by the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) — always check current requirements before you book.
PrepL, or the written road rules test, gets you your learner licence. The hazard perception test comes later and is a separate hurdle: every Queensland learner must pass it before they can take the practical driving test.
Not road rules — timing. You watch a series of high-quality 3D computer generated clips and react to situations as they develop, demonstrating that you can identify a hazard forming. The hazards used are based on the situations most challenging for novice drivers.
Once you have held your learner licence for six months. You then need a full year on your learner licence, the hazard perception test passed, and 100 logbook hours if you are under 25, before the practical driving test.
You enrol and sit the test online through qld.gov.au, so it is not something to leave until you are at the counter booking your driving test. The Indigenous Driver Licensing Unit can deliver an offline version during its visits to communities.
Enrolling costs $42.70 (from 1 July 2026) and gives you access to the test for up to 12 months. You can attempt it as many times as you like, with no lock-out between attempts. There is a separate hazard perception test for learner motorbike riders.
Current requirements and fees are on the Queensland Government's hazard perception test page.
