General Passive Learning Driving Theory Test

Hi, is anyone here interested in using an app for the car theory test with a passive learning approach? Learn while walking, on the bus, or while listening to teachers' sermons? I've developed an app that's in the closed test stage on the Play Store. I need about 10 'victims' to use the best app I've created — according to my mother, anyway. I reckon the content absorption time could be far superior to the official app. Actually, in this case it's not even to my credit — it's that they have no interest in the candidate passing on the first test. The very same company selling the material are the same applying the test.

Join me;

  1. Join the testers group: https://groups.google.com/g/driving-theory-testers
  2. Then install the app: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.sevendays.irishtheorytest

Video example Isn't great quality video, but the app was just born Best rather than Beta

... sigh, more AI slop.

How could passive learning be superior to mock tests that the official app offers? Passive learning is a highly ineffective way to learn, well, anything.

teachers' sermons

Lol.

.... sign, another one... shooting the load too early.. there is medicine for it..

Passive learning occupies idle time or time that would otherwise be wasted.(It's better to study something than to study nothing).
It accelerates learning by engraving the relationship between answers and test questions into your bones. Traditional learning consumes a lot of time with situations where it shows the correct answer among the wrong ones. Devouring the material by the conventional method takes at least a week. By the passive method, in 3 hours at 1.25x speed, you view or hear the entire question bank.

Thanks to various settings, a person can choose what, when, and how to use the material. It has several features that allow you to maximize retention in the shortest possible time — all while taking the bus, walking the dog, playing darts, in short, the passive method... And no, there's nothing artificial intelligence about this. These are all official questions, revised in detail several times.

And it's not meant to eliminate the use of any other method, nor is that the intention, It works as a supplementary tool — to cut down preparation time and speed up retention.

I don't dislike the official method just to position myself as anti-system or anything like that, but I see a conflict of interest in the same company selling the training material and administering the tests. What interest would they have in offering quality material? If the candidate's failure generates new payments for another test!?

The natural order is to understand first and criticise after — never the other way around.

Otherwise, it looks like a foolish reactions.

Lol

About 10 won't quite cover it: a new personal developer account needs at least 12 testers opted in for 14 days in a row. Testers join through the test's web opt-in link with the same Google account that's on their phone, then install from Play; anyone who leaves breaks the 14 days. Give them one thing a day to check, like listening to a topic on the bus and noting what stuck by evening.

I make ThreadFox. Test Rounds puts your app in a round of 14 Android developers testing each other's apps for 14 days, with a morning check-in and anyone who stops replaced: $20 per app, once, and you test the others too. https://threadfox.vip/p/d3aeu/rounds

Which theory topics does it cover so far?

I`m aware, I do have 22 now.. but I want to brink a bit more "genuine" testers to have spare, in the very likely case some do not use the app, or even uninstal... I am not loking to pay 20 and keep testing other apps, or 29 to have my hands free but them wasting opportunity to learn from other apps developers, thanks for your intere$t in helping.
