Contents of the theory test for the driving license
In the past, candidates had to fill out a questionnaire on paper. Nowadays, the theory test takes place on a PC. There are 30 multiple-choice questions to answer - 20 on the basic material and 10 on the additional material. There are three answers to choose from and the candidate has to decide between them. They select the desired answer with a click of the mouse. The test is failed if there are more than ten mistakes or if two questions with a value of five points are answered incorrectly. An examiner from TÜV or DEKRA is present throughout the test to explain how to use the PC and is available to answer any questions.
Things to know and tips on the theory test for your driving license
From our many years of experience, we can say that attending theory lessons alone is not enough to pass the test. In addition to the theory lessons, regular, early learning is required to consolidate your knowledge. To prepare for the exam, a list of questions is compiled and regularly updated by the Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Development. Exam candidates will be informed in good time if changes are made to the question catalog. The more often you go through the list of questions, the greater the learning effect. Other ways to prepare for the exam include taking online driving tests, special computer programs, textbooks, apps and learning on a PC at a driving school.
