The Test Routes App
The Test Routes App
Driving test routes in Ireland follow predictable patterns, using the same roads, estates, and junctions again and again.
Knowing these routes — and where people typically make mistakes — can make the difference between passing and failing your test.
Most learners don’t fail because of their driving ability, but because they’re unfamiliar with what to expect.
The Irish Test Routes App is the only app of its kind in Ireland. We help learner drivers practice driving test routes using the latest GPS Technology. In addition, all 56 Irish Driving Test Centres are updated monthly using local driving instructors. The Irish Test Routes App provides GENUINE driving test routes and not AI creations.
My name is Stephen McEvoy and during the Covid lockdowns I created the Irish Test Routes App for my pupils so that they could practice the test route areas with family and friends while driving lessons were banned. With a team of Driving Instructors all over Ireland we update each test centre regularly giving you instant access to their local knowledge.

A lot of learners assume failing the test means they’re not good enough at driving — but that’s often not the case.
Frequently, it comes down to unfamiliar situations:
These Grade 2 faults add up.
Once you’ve driven similar routes a few times, things slow down. You recognise the situations earlier, react more naturally, and make fewer mistakes.
Often there is a fine line between passing and failing and a bit of preparation can make all the difference.
Each test centre has its own characteristics, but the same 5 or 6 routes tend to be used regularly.
The routes featured here are based on real routes supplied by local driving instructors and have been used in driving tests over the past couple of months. This gives you an accurate picture of where you’re likely to be taken on the day of your test.
Each guide includes:
You’ll also have the option to download the routes and practise them yourself, so you can become familiar with the area before your test.

No matter where you take your test, the same issues come up again and again.
These include:
What’s important to understand is that these mistakes aren’t random — they tend to happen in the same types of locations, and examiners know exactly where to look for them.
Once you know where to expect these situations, they become much easier to deal with.
