Plz Just Trust Me Bro

I’m a 21 year-old guy that already has a driver’s license, but I just wanted to reinforce and test my knowledge. I’ve seen a lot of complaints about subscription fees, but like other great apps, the creators have to make money somehow. Plus, it’s not even that bad for what you get ($4.99/week). Personally I never paid or used the free trial, I simply watched one ad every day, and finish in just 2 months! I do, however, have a few complaints of my own... 1. One question read as follows: “You’re driving in rain just below the speed limit, and you feel that you’re driving too fast for the conditions. What should you do?” This is so simple & obvious that as you can guess, the answer was SLOW DOWN. 2. Another question read as follows: “You’re at a crash scene and there is no risk of further collisions. What should you do?” The answer is “call the emergency services, unless already done”. This answer would’ve been fine except for the last part. You should call 911 no matter what. How else are you going to know it’s already been done? By asking everyone who’s there? Not probable. By assuming? It’s bad to assume, because if everyone assumes no one calls 911. 3. Last but certainly not least: “You have a friend who has had a few beers at a party. What advice should you give him?” Answer is “Go home by public transport or taxi”. I think it’s not too bad of answer, but it should elaborate a bit more like saying “with a friend”. I wouldn’t want an intoxicated friend taking public transport alone since they are more vulnerable or can even cause him to lash out at someone else. Overall, it’s great. I scored 100% on every lesson & test (although not all of them on the first try). Unfortunately I did get one wrong because how it was worded. Oh well, thanks for everything Zutobi:)

I literally love this app. I downloaded this app yesterday and studied all day. I took my permit test today and passed it with a perfect score. I don’t understand why everyone is complaining yes you do have to pay but there’s a 3 day free trial after that you have to pay. I did all 60 levels in one day because I had to take the test the next day. If you can’t afford it just use the free 3 day trial and memorize and much as you can. This app makes studying fun and entertaining. I couldn’t stay studying for more than 20 minutes on the Book I’ll end up falling asleep but I studied all day this this app which is shocking to me. There’s even an option to pay $9.99 a month instead of $4.99 a week. $10 a month is not expensive especially for the amount of information this app gives you! I know this a long review but I’m just in disbelief of how much I’ve learned in a couple of hours. When I first downloaded the app I literally had no clue about anything that do with driving. A Day later I passed my permit test with a perfect score. Anyways the point is I loveeee this app and give it a try!

At 20 years old it’s embarrassing to say that I just got my learners permit. I just “got around” to it because I suffer from severe anxiety and PTSD due to trauma from bad car accidents in the past. When I downloaded this app, I had no hope. I started using it to study, and thanks to the reminder setting, I actually went back to studying from time to time. All of a sudden I had the courage to try and drive in a parking lot, so I did. It was terrifying at first, but I did it. After a while of studying and the mini tests that the app provides, I decided to make an appointment to receive at least my permit. I got to the “final test” on the app and I passed, I took it a few more times and I passed those times as well, so instead of waiting for my appointment, I just walked into my dmv. Of course I was still scared of failing, but I’m proud and happy to say that I passed with flying colors. Not a single incorrect answer. This app truly helped me learn all of the knowledge that I needed for the test, along with keeping me on track. I 100% recommend.

I began to study for the test, read the handbook, and took some practice test online and even got apps that had DMV practice test. Though some question I didn’t recognize on the DMV handbook. Then I looked for another source just to try again. I found Zutobi. It has questions that are from the current DMV handbook. And it has a study system that has videos, readings, quizzes, and practice tests. It has a program where you can learn each part of the DMV handbook. This helps everyone to study and have full proof method to remember what is on the test. I really wished I put more study time for Zutobi because it is interactive and you actually want to study. It’s not boring. When I took the actual DMV test, I passed. It’s not worded exactly like what you would see from Zutobi practice test, however I felt a strong confidence taking this test. I would recommend to use Zutobi as one of your study materials to pass the test. Thank you Zutobi for providing for us a great tool to study for the DMV driver’s license test.

Hi! If you want to get your permit but you just can’t sit down and read the book, maybe it’s the attention span (that’s me) or you just don’t have time (also me) or maybe the book is just too boring (also one of my problems 😂) this app helps out with these problems a lot. It’s on your phone and so whenever you have free time just open the app click on the next chapter and start reading. The chapter are just shortened versions of the actual book so you get all the information you need just in a shortened version! The app is colorful and it’s like a game. If you pass the tests, you get points and go to different levels, with these different levels, you get a different car each time! So it really grabs your attention and makes you wanna keep passing the tests and keep up to see how many points you get. So if anything I said sounds like wow that sounds fun or wow that would really help me out, then definitely get this app and check it out! 10/10 would recommend! 👍👍

I would recommend this app, It’s so worth it. I’m studying for my permit test and just taking the DMV practice test or trying to read the book is so boring. I feel they make the question very confusing and hard to understand but with this app I understand everything. I love that they give you pictures to show what is happening or what it is looks like. I like that they give you preview and explain about whatever section u are doing before taking the test for that section. It also explains to you why you got the answer wrong or got it right. Then after a few sections you can take a mini test on those sections u did already. I found this app very helpful so i would definitely recommend it. Especially you’re like me and a visual learner this is the app for you. Plus if you buy the app you get the first 3 days for free and then you start to pay for it. You can even cancel before you start to pay.

I am so nervous about my taking my test. I have been wanting to go to drivers school for a while now. I asked my mom she said it’ll have to wait then a couple of days ago me and my oldest sister was talking about how she was gonna get me a car and which one we wanted then she said something about drivers class that I’ve been wanting to go to. She called up to the place and signed me in I was excited then she said I had to take a permits test, I got scared because I thought I would fail it because I know nothing about driving really. My mom let me drive her car a few times and I did really good. I went on google to see what the questions was like and I barley knew the answers to them. Then I saw a ad for this app and I haven’t felt more confident taking a test in my life. If your looking for something that will help you pass your test for sure this is the app for you.

I LOVE this app. I have one year until I can get my permit, so I want to know everything about driving. This is definitely the perfect app for that. I have learned so much already about driving since the second lesson! The lessons are quick and easy. This app basically has you take these quizzes, and you answer which you think is right. (it's multiple choice) It will tell you if you're wrong/right, and then gives some helpful reasons why the rule is that way. The only thing I don't like about this app, is all the ads I have to watch because I don't have the full version. To unlock a level, you have to watch an ad. I understand that watching the ads help bring money to the company that made this, but maybe we can watch an ad every other level instead? Despite that, I love this app and definitely recommend it!

I can say I have a hard time concentrating and I needed something that was quick and easy for me to learn. I’m in my 20s and I have driving anxiety, so I’m barely in the process of getting my license. Been realizing for a while that I need to be a bit more responsible and to start driving. Tried to read the hand book, but couldn’t sit around to read it because I would get bored quickly and start doing something else. I downloaded this app and it was very easy! Almost every lesson in this app, I got at least a 90%. Passed all lessons, the final test, the signs tests, and practice tests in the app. A few days later after downloading this app, I went to my permit test appointment. Nervous, but hey I passed on the first try. Missed 3 questions! Thanks to this app for making it easy for me!

It’s not even expensive.. Single teen mom here who waitresses, so I’m busy. This app helped me stay on track. Everything about it is amazing. I have adhd and some learning issues, but the way they set the curriculum.. not too much reading but enough to inform you about everything. After each chapter (which none are super crazy extensive long) you take a short quiz. All throughout the levels. I think there’s like 62 levels before the final test. I’ve passed every level 80%+ and I’m on level 42 I believe. I love it. It’s an amazing app whoever created it deserves a raise and recognition forreals cus I still wouldn’t know anything abt driving or have the enthusiasm to get my license if it weren’t for this app. Definitely worth it. 11/10 would recommend

I failed the written test 3 times and was losing hope in myself. I struggled to read the handbook because I’m more of a visual learner and a lot of the things said were things I failed to understand or think about. It wasn’t until my cousin and mom recommended me this app that it has been the best that has ever helped me. After many websites and other apps, nothing has helped me understand the rules of the road more than this app. As a visual learner, it has helped me visualize and put myself in scenarios so much better than any other website or app has done for me. Today is the day I passed the test within a week of using the app, and I was able to successfully pass after all these months! I am very thankful and 100% recommend the app to people!

Disregard any bad commentary of this app! This app saved me because I have failed my permit test many times before. I have test anxiety and well before using this app I didn’t have any time or way to memorize any driving material. I would take my test stressed and ended up failing before using Zutobi. I used this app for two and a half weeks. You do have to pay to gain access of materials but it is well worth it. I took my permit test today and passed with 100. It sounds unbelievable but isn’t I promise. I could understand the questions and overall helped me. Thank you for creating such a well planned, convenient app that anyone can use!!! I recommend this for teens, college kids, adults, etc because of its convenience and organization.

I love this app. I passed my test because of this app. Only one tiny problem- there is one question on this app that does not match to that of the official DMV written test. My first time seeing the question on Zutobi I clicked my answer but it turned out to be wrong. I thought there was no way it could be that answer, but it was on Zutobi. On the written test though, I got the exact same question from Zutobi and I clicked the answer that Zutobi said to be correct. Guess what? I got it wrong on the written test! Turns out, the answer I knew from the beginning was the correct answer. Thanks a lot Zutobi. No I’m kidding, besides that one question, everything is accurate and very helpful. I recommend this app! Good luck :)

For an app that offers a premium service, but ESSENTIALLY since its a free app, its definitely worth the down load. Granted, if you have a good but of common sense, a majority of the questions are fairly easy. At the start I was reading the lessons they offer before the test, and its good information. However I found that even just skipping straight to the test I average getting 90% of them correct regardless. But the 10% I get wrong was a nice learning experience. They have state specific questions as well which I thought was nice. All in all I didn't need the app, but if your concerned about how clueless to feel when it comes to the rules of the road, this app does a great job to reaffirming your knowledge.

This app allows you to go over all the rules and regulations of the law, while driving. It’s a great way to practice and study before you are ready to take that step in getting your permits or license to drive. Chapters aren’t very long. Corrects you when your wrong, or mini test. And give you a chance to retry the question! Also test your knowledge by giving end of chapter quizzes. (Don’t correct you when you wrong. Give you a chance to see what you know on your own, and tell you how you did at the end of the quiz). That’s the best part! You’ll enjoy this app as much as I do! Considering, um studying for my permits. 😆😆 This app was recommended to me by a friend and I love it!

From Permit to License. We Support You All the Way.

Most companies stop helping after you pass the written test. We get in the car with you to help you master the road.

Step 1 — Acing the Permit

Pass the written test the first time

  • Permit Prep: Questions that look just like the real Wisconsin test.
  • Video Handbook: No boring text walls. Just the rules you need to know.
  • Exam Simulator: Matches Wisconsin's exact format and passing score.
  • Step-by-Step Roadmap: Follow our gamified path, knowing we've got you covered from start to finish.
Step 2 — Mastering the Road

Build real-world driving skills

  • Parent-Teen Training Guide: We give your parents a step-by-step plan to get the most out of at-home driving practice.
  • Road Ready System: 33 video lessons led by certified instructor Jacqueline R. covering every skill from parking to highway driving.
  • Road Test Prep: What examiners score, common mistakes, and how to prepare with confidence.
Step 3 — Getting Your License

Stay safe long after the test

Structured practice leads to 30% fewer crashes for new drivers. Zutobi builds that structure into every stage so the habits stick long after the test.

Is Zutobi all you need for driver's ed in Wisconsin?

If you're between 14 years 9 months and 18, Wisconsin requires you to complete a state-mandated driver's education course (30 hours classroom, 6 hours behind-the-wheel, and 6 hours observation) before you can apply for your permit (Zutobi does not replace this). The classroom portion can be completed online or in-person.

Traditional courses rely on passive reading, which is why many first-time test-takers fail the permit test. Zutobi adds what your required course doesn't: focused exam practice, video lessons, and a study system built to make sure you actually pass.

Quick Answer
Is Zutobi enough to pass the Wisconsin permit test?
State-mandated courses cover the legal requirement, but they're built for compliance, not test prep. Zutobi adds what they don't: state-specific practice questions, an exam simulator that mirrors your exact DMV test, and video lessons that actually prepare you to pass.

What happens after you pass the Wisconsin permit test?

Once you pass the written knowledge test, you receive your Wisconsin instruction permit. Before you can schedule your driving test, Wisconsin teens must:

6
Months minimum

Hold the permit for at least 6 months.

Requirement

Complete 6 hours of behind-the-wheel instruction with a licensed instructor.

Requirement

Complete 6 hours of in-car observation.

50
Supervised hours

Log 50 hours of supervised practice (including 10 night hours).

Zutobi helps you with this part of the licensing journey too.

The Parent-Teen Training Guide (PTTG)

A step-by-step curriculum led by certified instructor Jacqueline R. that teaches your parents how to teach.

Instructor-Led Video Lessons

Watch expert visual demonstrations of complex maneuvers (steering, lane changes, intersections) from inside the car. You learn the exact techniques the DMV examiner expects to see.

Wisconsin FAQ

How many questions are on the Wisconsin permit test, and what score do you need to pass?
The Wisconsin permit test has 50 multiple-choice questions, and you need at least 40 correct to pass (80% passing score). Get more than 10 wrong, and the test is failed. Want to see your score? Try our WI practice tests.
What is Wisconsin's state-mandated driver's education course?
If you're between 14 years 9 months and 18, Wisconsin requires a driver's education course before you can [apply for your permit](https://wisconsindot.gov/Pages/dmv/teen-driver/yr-frst-lcns/permit.aspx). The course includes 30 hours of classroom instruction (online or in-person), 6 hours of behind-the-wheel training with an instructor, and 6 hours of in-car observation.
Do I still need to read the Wisconsin Motorists’ Handbook if I use Zutobi?
Keep the Wisconsin Motorists’ Handbook available; it remains the legal source. The book stacks registration and agency instructions next to the chapters on signs, speed, and right-of-way, so one passive read rarely builds lasting memory for all of it. Zutobi focuses your study time on the traffic laws, road signs, and safety principles that prepare you for the permit test and for the supervised driving that follows. Zutobi removes bureaucratic filler from your study sessions, not the safety content.
Can I practice for specific topics I keep getting wrong?
Yes. Zutobi's practice modes let you isolate any topic (road signs, right-of-way, safety rules). You can also filter for only your incorrect answers and retake those specifically, so every study session targets your gaps.
How is Zutobi science-backed?
Zutobi uses proven cognitive science: bite-sized chapters, a video format aligned with the Wisconsin Motorists’ Handbook for visual memory, and a Smart Looping system that re-tests your weak spots. Research shows this approach significantly improves performance and outcomes. Read more about our methodology.
Does gamification actually help with permit test prep?
Published research shows gamification improves learning outcomes by up to 89%. Zutobi uses points, levels, and streaks designed around that model to keep you engaged through the full study path.
Will practice testing help with test-day nerves?
Yes. Research shows 72% of learners report less test-day nervousness after retrieval-based practice. Zutobi's exam simulator is designed around that principle: repeated practice in your state's exact format so the real test feels routine.
Is it normal to feel anxious about the permit test?
Yes. In a Zutobi survey of 1,000 U.S. adults, 85% reported at least one fear during test prep. The most common: parallel parking (46%) and failing the test (44%). Zutobi's exam simulator turns those fears into familiar, practiced scenarios.
How does Zutobi help my teen become a safer driver?
Beyond test prep, Zutobi's Parent-Teen Training Guide gives you a structured plan for the 50 hours of supervised practice Wisconsin requires. Led by certified instructor Jacqueline R. and other Zutobi instructors, it covers progressive skill building from parking lots to highways. A 2025 Virginia Tech study found that structured, varied practice leads to 30% fewer crashes for teen drivers.
Can I track my teen's progress in Zutobi?
Yes. Parents can see which chapters their teen has completed, which quizzes they've passed, and where they still need work. This gives you visibility into their preparation and helps you focus practice sessions on weak areas.
Does Zutobi help with the supervised driving hours Wisconsin requires?
Yes. The Parent-Teen Training Guide (PTTG) is a step-by-step curriculum for the 50 hours of supervised driving (including 10 night hours) that Wisconsin requires. It turns an unguided process into a structured plan with specific skills and coaching points for each stage.
