There was an interesting exchange about this product on the blog of Brian Herzog, who's a librarian in Chelmsford, MA: http://www.swissarmylibrarian.net/2014/12/17/whats-your-take-on-driving-tests-org/

A few librarians air some concerns, and the company's CEO (or someone claiming to be him, anyway) actually wrote a reply that addressed them.

Best,

Emma

Is anyone familiar with this product or worked with it before?  Is there a catch?  It sounds like a good deal, but I don't want to get sucked into something that requires payment later.
Thank you,
Lisa

Dear Library Team,
I'm writing on behalf of Driving-Tests.org, a website for learner drivers. In addition to being the largest and most visited independent online driver education provider in the U.S., we currently work with over 650 U.S. libraries in a partnership where we provide them free access to our state-specific practice tests (free for the library and the patrons).

We would be happy to extend the same free driver's ed program to all interested libraries.
SIGN UP HERE: http://driving-tests.org/library/

What's included?
Your Driver Education program will contain the following state-specific
information:
- 10 car practice tests
- 6 motorcycle practice tests
- 3 CDL (Commercial Driver’s License) practice tests
- 3 online driver’s manuals (car, motorcycle, CDL)
- An FAQ section with detailed answers to 100+ DMV-related questions

Best regards,
Andrei Zakhareuski,
Driving-Tests.org, Founder & CEO
info@driving-tests.org

PS: In Jan/Feb we presented our service at ALA Midwinter, and will be at ALA San Francisco in June again (Booth 441) in case you would like to meet in person!
