Frequently asked questions

A study app for the Russian driving-theory exam. It contains 800 multiple-choice questions organized as 40 papers of 20, each available in both Russian and English with a written explanation in both languages, plus practice drills, timed mock exams, and progress tracking. It works offline.

Anyone studying Russian driving theory who wants the material in English, in Russian, or in both — particularly people who need to understand the question and the Russian terminology at the same time.

The App Store listing uses the hyphenated form. Everywhere else — the app itself, this site, and the Android build — the name is DriveTrain. It is the same product.

Both. Every question, every answer option, and every explanation exists in both languages, and you switch between them with one tap while looking at a question.

Yes, completely. English is the default for both the interface and the question content, and all 800 explanations are available in English.

Yes — tap Русский above any question. The question, all answer options, and the explanation switch to Russian instantly, and your answers are preserved. Tap English to switch back.

800, in 40 papers of 20 questions each. 548 of them include a photograph or diagram of a road situation.

DriveTrain is an independent study app. Its questions cover Russian traffic rules, road signs, and driving situations, and the explanations reference the relevant traffic-regulation paragraphs. DriveTrain is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any government body or examining authority.

Yes — every one of the 800, in both English and Russian, usually citing the specific traffic-regulation paragraph. The explanation becomes available once you have answered, so it does not give the answer away.

No. The papers are the only organizing structure. What you can do is repeat any paper, work through the questions you keep getting wrong, or practice the whole bank shuffled.

Please say so. Email reachkanyanta@gmail.com with the paper number and question number. Content corrections ship with app updates.

It draws a fresh random set from the full bank, runs a countdown, and scores you against a pass mark. Answers are final once submitted, and any question left unanswered when the timer runs out counts as wrong. Afterwards you can review every question with your answer, the correct answer, and the explanation.

You can retake it as often as you like, and each attempt is a new random set.

No. It is DriveTrain's own timed simulation, designed to build exam stamina and reveal weak spots. Check the current official examination format with the relevant authority.

No. Nothing in the app can predict or guarantee an examination result. A good mock score means you know the material in this question bank; the official exam is set and marked by the examining authority.

Forty questions drawn at random from all 800 — a quick, unpredictable run through the bank. It is part of a subscription.

Yes, automatically. Any question you answer incorrectly joins the Review Mistakes list and leaves it as soon as you answer it correctly. A live counter shows how many are outstanding.

Yes — tap the bookmark icon on any question. Bookmarked Questions is its own practice mode, and it is free.

Not as a session — reopening a paper starts a fresh run. Individual answers you already gave are saved and still count toward your statistics and your mistake list.

Which questions you have mastered — meaning your most recent answer was correct — which you are still getting wrong, how many of the 800 you have attempted, your overall accuracy, the pass or fail status of each of the 40 papers, and your mock exam history: attempts, passes, average score, and best score.

A paper only turns green or red once you have answered at least ten of its questions. Below that it stays grey.

Yes — Settings → Reset App erases all progress, bookmarks, and settings. It cannot be undone. Uninstalling also removes everything from the device.

No. There is no account and no progress server, so progress stays on the device it was made on.

There is a substantial free tier: all 40 papers and all 800 questions, both languages, all explanations, bookmarks, mistake review, and all statistics — unlimited. A subscription adds three modes: Mock Exam, Top 40 Challenge, and Full Practice.

Three lengths are offered: one week, one month, or one year, each unlocking the same three modes. Prices are set by the App Store and Google Play and vary by country, so the current plans are shown in the app before you buy.

Yes — "Restore Purchases" on the upgrade screen recovers a subscription bought with the same store account.

Your study progress — answers, bookmarks, sessions, and statistics — is stored on your device; there is no DriveTrain account and no progress server.

English, Russian, and Korean, following your device language. The questions themselves exist only in English and Russian, so a Korean interface still shows the question bank in one of those two.
