How to pass the Dutch theory exam first time

What you are studying for

The exam has 50 questions that count, plus 2 test questions. You need 44 correct and have 30 minutes. The questions cover 8 topics, from priority and road signs to vehicle knowledge. Read how the exam works.

How to study

1. Plan back from your exam date. A fixed slot every day works better than cramming the last weekend.
2. Study one topic at a time. Start with the topics you find hardest.
3. Read the explanation for every mistake. It is the rule that matters, not remembering the answer.
4. Go over your mistakes until you get them right. What you got wrong once often comes back.
5. Take mock exams of 50 questions in 30 minutes. When you score 44 or more a few times in a row, you are ready.
