The routes available on our website and the recommended app provide a turn-by-turn guide through the entire driving test, starting from your chosen DMV.

How accurate are they?

Very! These Hawaii test routes are compiled using real-world data, including feedback from examiners themselves, GPS recordings from actual road tests, and comprehensive video analysis of recorded routes. Each route is reviewed and updated regularly to reflect any changes, diversions, or new additions.

How should I practice them?

The most convenient way to practice is by using the app, available for iOS and Android devices. You’ll then have access to the full range of routes, clear turn-by-turn navigation, interactive maps, and the ability to download routes for offline use.
