About this app
This Transport for NSW app allows you to practice for NSW driver, rider and boating licence tests. Passing these tests is the first step towards getting a NSW driver, rider or boat licence. The tests assess your knowledge of road and waterway rules and safe driving and boating techniques. The practice tests look and operate like the real tests. You will be advised at the end if you passed or failed. The driver and rider tests have 45 questions and the boating tests have 50 questions. To prepare for your test, we recommend you read the appropriate handbook for the licence you are applying for. Our Road User Handbook, Motorcycle Rider Handbook, Heavy Vehicle Driver Handbook, Boating Handbook and Personal Watercraft Handbook are available on our website.
App details
What you can learn from NSW Practice Tests
Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be. The 6 screenshots above are NSW Practice Tests's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: NSW Practice Tests runs a light set where the background shifts from screenshot to screenshot (first shot #FCFCFC) — each image has to stand on its own, so the captions carry more of the story. The accent colour we picked up, #242C64, is the one to reuse for badges, arrows and highlighted words if you borrow this look. Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
Notice the first screenshot in particular. It's the one users see in search results and on the product page, and it's where most apps spend their best caption and tightest design. Look at the proportion of background to phone, where the text sits, what one thing the image is trying to communicate.
