1. [Latest] Overview of the Ordinary License Written Test
(A) Test Format
The test consists of the following:
Written questions: 90 questions
True/False format (◯/×), where you judge whether a statement is correct.Illustration-based questions: 5 questions
You look at real-world traffic situations in illustrations and decide what is dangerous and how to react.
Each illustration includes 3 questions. All 3 must be correct to earn 2 points.
(B) Scope of the Questions
Examples of categories covered:
Rules and mindset common to pedestrians and drivers
Knowledge before driving and how to operate a vehicle/moped
Driving in dangerous locations
Driving on expressways
Riding and handling two-wheeled vehicles
During accidents, breakdowns, disasters, etc.
Responsibilities of vehicle owners, operators, safety managers, driving agencies
Illustration questions focus on hazard prediction across all topics above
The test checks a wide range of basic skills for driving safely.
(C) Test Types & Basic Information
Answer format: ◯/×
Full score: 100 points
Test time: 50 minutes
Passing score: 90 points or above (90% accuracy — a very high standard)
Available languages: 20 languages
Even if you take the test in a language you are comfortable with, the content is not easy.
That’s why preparation is extremely important.
2. Three Study Methods that Build “Understand → Memorize → Confirm”
This is not a test you can pass by simple memorization.
What matters is strengthening these three:
Understanding
Memorizing
Making correct judgments in real situations
Drivey provides a step-by-step flow that naturally develops all three skills.
2-1. Learning Content | Ordinary License Edition
These lessons teach the actual test content in clear categories.
Each lesson follows three steps:
1️. Understand through Videos
Start by watching the video to grasp traffic rules, safety precautions, and key points — together with a visual image.
Concepts that are difficult to understand through text become easier to absorb through video.
2️. Memorize with Q&A
Using one-question-one-answer format:
Recall the answer yourself
Immediately check if your answer is correct
This repetition builds strong long-term memory.
3️. Confirm with Mini-tests
Check whether you really understood the topic.
If you make mistakes, return to the videos or Q&A and review — eliminating weaknesses right away.
Recommended Study Flow
Watch the category videos
Confirm with Q&A while recalling the answers in your head
Check comprehension with mini-tests
For any weak areas:
Rewatch the video
Retry the mini-test
Suggested Learning Pace
If you study 4–5 lessons per day,
you can cover the entire range in about 4 weeks.
Little by little each day = steady improvement toward passing.
2-2. Glossary
The glossary lets you learn important vocabulary that appears frequently in each category.
In license conversion, “understanding the meaning of the terms” greatly affects the exam result.
▶ Goal: Learn 50 words per week
Check 50 words at the start of the week
Review the same 50 repeatedly during the week
You’ll gradually become faster and more confident.
▶ Best for downtime study
Just 3–5 minutes at times like:
On the train or bus
During breaks
Before bed
When tired but want to study “a little”
Vocabulary builds advantage —
the more terms you know, the easier the written questions become.
If the lessons feel “too easy,” level up to the test features next.
2-3. Step-up Through Four Types of Tests
Once you’ve learned the content, it’s time to test your skills.
※ Continue studying vocabulary in parallel.
Since the passing line is 90%, guessing won’t work.
When you get a question wrong, always review:
What did you misunderstand?
Which part did you misread?
(A) Road Sign Test
Road signs always appear on the real exam:
Japan has 200+ signs
Many look similar
Some meanings are easily confused
Drivey helps you understand why the sign exists and what danger it prevents.
Mastering this early boosts learning motivation and confidence.
(B) Practice Questions
Each set has 10 questions — ideal for quick study:
Commuting time
Short breaks
You can later review incorrect answers to:
Identify common mistakes
Focus on weak categories
Repeating the questions improves accuracy and confidence.
(C) Skill Check Test
This test is about half the size of the real exam:
Measures how much knowledge you’ve built
Highlights remaining weaknesses
Questions are close to the real test level,
designed for the target accuracy of 90%+.
Great for checking what to focus on before the exam.
(D) Mock Exam
Same number of questions and time limit as the real exam —
the most practical test format.
Builds “real exam power” like:
Time allocation
Maintaining concentration
Making calm decisions under pressure
Repeating mock exams reveals remaining weaknesses and helps you stay calm on test day.
3. Tips for Passing on the First Try
(1) Read carefully
Short questions mean:
One word difference can flip the answer
Pay special attention to:
Signal types: green light, flashing red, yellow arrow, etc.
Numbers: 3 seconds vs 30 m before, within 3 m vs within 5 m
Sentence endings: “is/is not,” “can/cannot”
Avoid guessing — read precisely.
(2) Interpret questions straightforwardly
Judge simply: Is the statement right or wrong?
Many questions are easy if you think normally
Overthinking leads to mistakes
Words like “always,” “never,” “in every case” often hint at exceptions — check carefully.
(3) Always review your answers
After completing all questions:
Go back and review from the start
Prevent misreads, wrong marking, and missed answers
Just a few minutes of review can stabilize your score.
