MSM, roundabout lanes, stopping distances, sign shapes, the car test, the National Standard, the GDE matrix and hazard perception: in your notes it's a wall of text. Here each topic fits on one page, with the drawing and what you need to remember. 60 illustrated pages.

One topic per page, the drawing that shows you how it works and the boxes with what you need to know:

These are real pages from the book. The table of contents is the full one: 7 parts and 56 topics.
You've read the mirrors, signal, manoeuvre routine three times. You close the book...
...and you can't remember which mirror comes first, or when the signal goes on. It was just lines of text, one after another.
Here MSM is a sequence drawn from above, one step after another: the interior mirror first, then the door mirror, then the signal, then the manoeuvre.
And every band gets the same treatment: roundabout lanes and stopping distances, the car test, and band 4's GDE matrix and client-centred learning.
First you understand why it's done that way. Then the order sticks on its own.
The test itself, road procedure, signs and car control, the driving test and the law, teaching techniques, hazard perception and test day: 60 pages, all drawn
What if every ADI part 1 topic fitted on a single page?
Instead of rereading half a page on the GDE matrix without being able to picture it...
...you open the page and find the four levels stacked from bottom to top, from vehicle control to goals for life, each one a simple scene.
And MSM, roundabout lanes, stopping distances, sign shapes and hazard perception turn into drawings and tables you can read at a glance.
You stop repeating and start understanding.
That's exactly what The ADI Part 1 Sketchbook does. It isn't “just another manual”. It's 7 parts and 56 drawn topics, and at the end a four-week revision plan, band by band, and a test-day page. Because what your brain sees in order, it remembers.
Because what your brain sees organised, it remembers.
The three tests to qualify, the 100 questions in four bands, the pass marks, hazard perception scoring and the official DVSA revision list.
Band 1, road procedure: MSM and PSL, roundabouts, junctions, overtaking, dual carriageways, motorways, crossings, stopping distances, the two-second gap, parking and night driving.
Band 2, signs, car control, pedestrians and mechanical knowledge: sign shapes, road markings, traffic lights, arm signals, speed limits, steering and skids, ABS, vulnerable road users, tyres and daily checks.
Band 3, the driving test, disabilities and the law: the car test from start to finish, fault types, show me tell me, reversing exercises, pupils with disabilities and learning difficulties, licence and insurance, supervising a learner, drink and drugs, and the ADI register.
Band 4, publications and instructional techniques: the National Standard, client-centred learning, the GDE matrix, lesson goals, risk management, question types, feedback, fault analysis, route planning and reflection.
What a developing hazard looks like, the 5-point scoring window, why clicking in a pattern scores zero, the clues to watch for and the official practice material.
A four-week plan with one band a week, and test day: flagging, reviewing and the break before hazard perception.
At the end of the book: A four-week revision plan by band and a test-day page.
40 printable cards, each with a common developing-hazard clue, a tiny sketch and what to watch for, so you practise spotting the moment a hazard starts to develop instead of guessing when to click.
The term on the front, a one-line definition and a tiny sketch on the back: revise the vocabulary of all 4 bands in a few minutes a day and stop mixing up look-alike terms.

For anyone in Great Britain preparing for the ADI part 1 theory test (multiple choice and hazard perception), first attempt or resit. It doesn't teach you to drive: it puts in order what the test asks. It covers part 1 only, not parts 2 and 3, and not Northern Ireland. Check the contents above for the topics.
DVSA guidance on gov.uk for the ADI part 1 test (format, bands, pass marks and hazard perception scoring) and the official revision list: The Highway Code, Know your traffic signs, Driving – the essential skills, the Driving Instructor's Handbook and the National standards, among others. Each page points you back to the official book to revise from.
No. It's an independent study book, drawn and written in our own words. It isn't affiliated with or endorsed by DVSA, doesn't reproduce official questions, Highway Code text or official sign artwork, and doesn't give you a certificate or count towards your ADI registration: only passing the DVSA tests does that.
No. Keep the official books and the DVSA practice material. What the sketchbook adds is the order: each topic on one drawn page, grouped by band, with a note telling you which official book to go back to. It's what you revise from when ten books open at once feel like too much.
No. The sketchbook explains each topic on a drawn page; it isn't a question bank. The optional practice sets offered at checkout are original questions written in the style of the test, not official DVSA questions. For hazard perception clips, use the official DVSA practice material: the sketchbook and the Clue Cards show you what to look for while you watch.
Yes. It's a PDF you can read on your phone, tablet or computer, or print at home.
You have 30 days: tell us what didn't work and we'll refund 100%.
You don't have to reread the same page hoping it sticks this time.
You don't have to memorise rules you can't picture.
And you certainly don't have to walk into the test not knowing where to start.
There's a simpler way. And it's one click away. Now it's your turn.
