The Dutch theory test in English
The CBR offers the car theory test in English. You choose the language when you book your test, and the questions use the official English terms of the CBR. This practice test uses the same terms, so the wording on test day is familiar. A few Dutch terms are not translated in the English test, such as ‘APK’, ‘autoweg’ and ‘erf’.
What does the real CBR theory test look like?
The car theory test (category B licence) has 50 questions in 30 minutes, and you pass with 44 correct. It is one continuous test with four types of question: multiple choice, yes/no questions, drag and drop questions where you put road users in the right place, and animation questions where you watch a traffic situation unfold and decide what to do. Before the test starts, you get 2 practice questions to get used to the controls; they do not count.
You book the test yourself at mijn.cbr.nl with your DigiD, and it costs €50.50.
What does your result tell you?
The free practice test is short, so your result is a snapshot. If you pass it comfortably, you are on the right track. If not, look at the topics where you missed questions: that is where you gain the most.
You are ready for the real test when you pass several full mock exams comfortably and on time. A short practice test shows where you stand; full mock exams show whether your speed and your knowledge are good enough together.
