01 / Get familiar
What you’ll practise.

Four free drills cover Foundation, Intermediate, Advanced and Expert, with study periods from 45 to 115 seconds. The £5.99 pack adds eight full TRP1 practice mocks with six minutes of audio and written learning and eight minutes of questions, plus eight short reading drills, eight TRP2 mocks and eight ATAVT mocks.

A few things to try.
Study Actively
Don't just read—visualize the scenario. Create mental images of the rules in action.
Use All Time
The study period depends on the mock. Core mocks range from 45 to 115 seconds; use the time shown to read carefully.
Focus on Details
Numbers, times, and specific procedures are always tested. Memorize the specifics.
Read with a method
Read for the main structure, then use any remaining study time to check the details you find hardest to remember.
04 / Before you begin
Common questions.
Is this a full reproduction of the official TRP1 assessment?
These are independent memory exercises, not an official reproduction. The four free reading drills have 4–7 questions. The practice pack includes eight short reading drills and eight 18-question mocks with recorded and written learning. The full practice mocks allow six minutes to learn and eight minutes to answer; these are practice timings, not an official pass standard.
What is the TRP1 test?
TRP1-style practice focuses on learning unfamiliar information and recalling it accurately. Study the written rules, with recorded narration in the full practice-pack mocks, then answer multiple-choice questions after the learning material is hidden.
How long does the test take?
Core mocks use study periods from 45 to 115 seconds across four difficulty tiers, followed by recall questions. Additional practice-pack mocks show their own study and response timing before you start.
Can I see the passage during questions?
No. The passage is hidden after the study phase. The questions ask you to recall its details from memory.
What kind of rules are covered?
The passages use fictional practice procedures with details such as times, numbers, conditions and the order of actions. They are memory exercises rather than railway operating instructions.
Can I pause during the test?
The study countdown runs continuously. Choose a quiet moment before you start and follow the timing instructions for your selected mock.
What if I don't pass?
Use the practice result to find the details you missed. Try grouping related information and reviewing your approach before another attempt. The practice score is feedback, not an official assessment outcome.
Can I practise for free?
Four TRP1 mocks are free, with one each at Foundation, Intermediate, Advanced and Expert. You can retry them without an account; sign in to save results. The £5.99 pack unlocks 16 more TRP1 mocks, eight TRP2 mocks and eight ATAVT mocks.
