THE CBR EXAM

How the theory exam works

Since 7 April 2025 the car theory exam has been one continuous exam. Questions on traffic rules, insight and hazard perception come mixed together. The CBR tests hazard perception with short animations. You can sit the exam from the age of 16.

50 questions

Plus 2 test questions that do not count. Beforehand you get 2 practice questions to get used to it.

30 minutes

On average just over half a minute per question. With extra time you get 45 minutes.

44 correct

You may make a maximum of 6 mistakes. There are no longer separate sections with their own thresholds.

Always check the current rules, costs and number of questions at cbr.nl, because the CBR may change the exam.
