If you still need to pass your car theory exam, this blog post is exactly what you need. The theoretical exam for the car is an exam you need to obtain your driver's license. Passing on the first try is always nice. In this blog post, I'm going to tell you how the theory exam works. What the requirements and necessities are. I'll also tell you how you can best prepare for the theoretical exam.
Why is there a theory exam for your driver's license?
Theory is full of rules. These rules are made to make traffic safe. If everyone would follow the rules properly, there would also be fewer accidents. You probably already know how to behave as a pedestrian or cyclist. For example, where you can walk and where you can't.
In car theory, the rules of the car are covered. If you know the theory well, you'll pass your theoretical exam and can then safely continue with the practical part! That's also handy. Because then you know what to do in practice!
Making an appointment for your theory exam!
At school, you'll have already taken a lot of exams. The theory exam for the car, you hopefully only take once in your life! Many people postpone it. Some start learning, but then don't take the exam.
A very good tip is to reserve the exam in advance. This can be done online at an exam center of your choice. https://www.gocavlaanderen.be/examencentra Reserve an exam for a month from now and then start learning! If you've already made an appointment, it ensures that you actually keep learning. Then you have a goal in mind! You can tackle procrastination with this.
What are the requirements and necessities for the theory exam?
You can take the theoretical exam from the age of 17. You make the appointment online. On the day of your exam, bring your bank card. Payment happens when you register. This can only be done electronically. Cash is not accepted. Also be sure to bring your valid identity card. You must be able to identify yourself. Be on time and register at the desk.
How does the theory exam work?
After registering and paying, you'll be assigned a computer number by the exam center staff. In the theory room, you'll sit at your computer. First, you'll get two example questions. These don't count toward your exam. Thanks to the example questions, you know what the exam looks like.
Headphones. There's also a headphone. You can use it, but you don't have to. Through the headphone, the question and answers are read aloud. The computer does this at a calm pace. If you're strong in the language, I advise you not to use the headphone. Because then it only distracts you. If you're a bit less strong in the language, it's handy. Because then it helps you read the question and answers.
Time. First, the question and answers are read aloud. Then the time starts. You have 15 seconds to answer each question. There's a time bar that counts down. After the time is up, you can't give an answer anymore. You also can't go back to change your answer.
The time seems short, but on your exam, you'll notice that it's enough. After the last question, press finish exam. You'll immediately see your result on your screen. Of course, passed ????.
When am I passed?
There are 50 multiple-choice questions. You need to score 41 points to pass.
There are minor mistakes. If you get those right, you get a point for them. If you get the question wrong, a point goes off the 50. However, there are also major mistakes. If you get those right, you get a point. But if you get those wrong, five points go off. So two major mistakes and you've failed. But there are some tricks to avoid making major mistakes. See more about this in our blog about major mistakes!
Major mistakes are only in the car theory exam.
What to do after the theoretical exam?
Yesss and then you've passed! Celebrate of course hahaha. Oh wait! First go back to the desk where you registered. Then you still need to do an eye test. So be sure to bring your glasses if you wear them. The eye test is a light screen with lots of E's. The idea is that you tell which side the E is open on.
For example. E <== opening on the right side.
After the eye test, you'll receive proof that you've passed.
Keep it safe! And then on to the practical part!
Did you fail? Unfortunately. But don't be sad. Then you'll pass the second time! Plan a new exam. Prepare even better and pass!!!
After failing 2 times, you're required to take 12 hours of lessons at a recognized driving school.
If you've passed, your theoretical license is valid for 3 years.
How can I best prepare?
Good preparation is half the work. Through TheorieDoen you can now take an online theory course. Videos in which the complete theory is explained in a calm and clear way. Full of memory aids and handy tips to prepare you as well as possible for your exam. You can watch the videos as often as you want. You can also watch them wherever you want. At the dinner table or just comfortably in bed. The videos are full of exam questions that you can also expect on your exam. After the course, you'll also practice with practice exams. This so you can repeat and test if you're ready. Choose your package, then I'll see you at the first part.
Good luck with learning!
