Auto Theory exam in Amsterdam

Obtaining your driver’s license naturally includes passing the theory exam. NuTheorie in Amsterdam is here to help you with that. Professional instructors will guide you through the theory and make sure you understand everything clearly. Our goal is to help you pass the theory exam. We make sure you truly understand the material, so you're not only able to pass the theory test but also well-prepared for your practical exam. Our theory courses are also well-suited for students with ADHD, performance anxiety, and dyslexia. We have extensive experience in this and have already helped many students pass their theory exam.

How does it go?

The course day

A one-day car theory course in Amsterdam is a comprehensive program designed to prepare you for the CBR theory exam. The day starts early with focused lessons on traffic signs, rules, right of way, and practical insights into traffic situations. We explain the theory using questions similar to those on the actual exam. For the practice questions, you’ll receive detailed explanations of the answers, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. The course includes breaks for rest and refreshments. After the training, participants are guided to the CBR exam center to take their theory exam, making it a streamlined and efficient way to prepare in just one day.

Check out the demo videos below to get a preview of what to expect on your course day.

Step 1: Meet the basic requirements

  • You must be at least 16 years old to take the theory exam, and you can start taking driving lessons from the age of 16.5. You must be 17 years old to take the practical exam and apply for your driver’s license.
  • Make sure you have a valid form of identification (a passport or a Dutch identity card).

Step 2: Sign up for Nutheorie's one-day car theory course

  • Prepare for your theory exam by enrolling at our theory school.
  • Nutheorie offers tailored guidance from experienced teachers who help you learn the material efficiently using mnemonics, so it's easy to remember.
  • In the theory course, we simulate CBR theory exam questions and offer practice exams, which gives your confidence a boost.

Step 3: Pass the theory exam

1. Book your theory exam:
  • We take care of booking your theory exam, which is much easier for you! Of course, you can also choose to do it yourself: use the CBR website to log in with your DigiD and schedule your theory exam at the exam center. We will then link the exam to the one-day course.
  • If we book the exam, we pay the fee to the CBR. If you book it yourself, you pay the exam fee directly (from €48.75 in 2025).
2. Attend the Nutheorie one-day course
  • Take the theory course for the car driving license. The course starts in the morning, and the theory is explained in a fun way using exam questions like those you can expect at the CBR, so you are optimally prepared for the exam at the CBR that follows. After the one-day course, our professional instructors accompany you to the CBR for last-minute tips, tricks and support.

3. Take the exam:
  • On the day of the exam, bring a valid ID to the CBR center.
  • Answer 50 multiple-choice questions, of which you need at least 44 correct answers to pass.

Step 4: Take driving lessons

Choose an accredited driving school. It is a good idea to compare schools based on reviews and pass rates. Start lessons with a certified driving instructor. Practice driving the car, understanding the traffic rules and preparing for real-life scenarios. When choosing a good driving school, the price/quality ratio is especially important. There are clear differences in price, but also in the quality of the lessons. You can assess the quality mainly by looking at the pass rate on rijschoolzoeker.nl. We also recommend starting with a trial lesson, so you can judge whether the instructor is a good fit for you.

Step 5: Pass the practical exam

Before you can take the exam, you must submit a health declaration via the CBR (€45.25, 2025). Answer questions about your physical and mental health. If necessary, the CBR may request additional medical checks. Wait for approval before you continue.


Preparation:
  • Authorize your driving school via mijncbr.nl to book the practical exam for you
  • Fill in a self-reflection form. It is discussed with the examiner after the exam, based on your actual drive. Think of it as a self-assessment, made in advance, of your strengths and weaknesses as a driver.
  • The official CBR practical car exam costs: €138.50
Exam day:

The drive takes 35 minutes on average. This can vary depending on the chosen exam route and traffic.


The practical exam generally includes the following parts:

Vehicle check: Checking the lights, tires or other car components. This takes place before the driving test and is a short check of your knowledge of the vehicle.

Driving test: Demonstrating safe and responsible driving behavior. The examiner looks at vehicle control, observation, giving right of way and traffic insight. Note: an intervention by the examiner does not automatically mean you have failed, but you of course want to avoid this through good preparation and execution of the test.

Special maneuvers: Also called special tasks. Parking, turning or reversing, the stop assignment, the hill start test. Unless you have previously received an exemption (until 2025 via the interim test), you must perform 2 special maneuvers.


After passing, you receive a certificate of passing.

Step 6: Apply for your driving license

  • A valid ID.
  • A passport photo.
  • Payment of the application fee.

What about booking the CBR theory exam?

At Nutheorie, we ensure that the process of passing your theory exam goes as smoothly and simply as possible. We ensure that your theory course package aligns with your reserved exam date. The process is simple:

  1. Register with Nutheorie.
  2. Authorize us through mijnCBR – this is a mandatory step for everyone who wants to take a theory exam. But don't worry, after registering, we will send you clear instructions on how to quickly and easily arrange this.
  3. Leave the rest to us. Once a theory exam is reserved, we will contact you.

How long does it take for a theory exam to be reserved for me?
The reservation of an exam date depends on several factors, such as the CBR's schedule, your preferred location, time periods, and days. We continuously monitor the CBR reservation system to ensure that we can quickly make a suitable reservation for you. In many cases, this can be done immediately, but sometimes we have to wait until new theory exams become available. We do everything we can to give you clarity as soon as possible. The only thing we can guarantee is that there is no faster way to reserve an exam. So, let us handle it and we will ensure that coveted spot for you.

What if I have already reserved a CBR theory exam myself?
We have accounted for this scenario as well. In this case, the process is slightly different. You don't need to authorize us, and you won't have to pay any exam fees:

  1. Register with Nutheorie and select the option that you have already reserved an exam.
  2. We will then ask you for a confirmation of your theory exam with the CBR.
  3. Finally, we will link your exam with the online theory course, with the package that best aligns with your reserved theory exam.

‍

What is included in the price of the day course or online theory course?

  • Practice questions based on previous exam questions, sorted by exam section, including explanations for correct and incorrect answers.

‍

How can I prepare for my theory exam?

Preparing for your theory exam is essential and largely determines whether you pass in one go or not. Nutheorie offers you two effective methods:

‍

The Day Course: This theory course takes place in person at one of the course locations in the Netherlands. In just one day, we will cover all the material you need to pass your theory exam. The major advantage is the direct interaction with the instructor and the possibility to take the exam at the CBR immediately after your course.

‍

Online Theory Course: This flexible option allows you to prepare at your own pace. You have the freedom to repeat sections, watch videos multiple times, and practice thoroughly until you're confident you're ready for the theory exam. Moreover, we ensure that your exam aligns seamlessly with your preparation by tailoring your package accordingly.

‍

Regardless of the method you choose, both courses guarantee thorough preparation for your theory exam. It’s important to consider which method best suits your personal learning style, preferences, and availability.

‍

Is it necessary to study in advance for the day course or online theory course?

‍

Both our day course and online theory course are designed to fully prepare you for the CBR theory exam. They cover all the topics included in the theory test. So even if you have no prior knowledge, our lessons are sufficient to get you ready for the exam.

‍

With the online theory course, you can follow the lessons at your own pace. You can pause, repeat, and continue whenever you like, making it an ideal option for self-study. With the additional online material such as the e-book, you can dive even deeper into certain topics if needed. The day course offers a complete overview of the theory in just one day. Although prior studying is not mandatory, having some basic knowledge may help you absorb the information more effectively.

‍

While our courses are designed for all learning styles, some people benefit from preparing in advance using the online materials. If you're someone who feels more comfortable with some preparation, it may be helpful to acquire a bit of basic knowledge beforehand. The courses are very suitable for students with dyslexia, ADHD, ADD, and performance anxiety. We also offer support for those with language difficulties; however, some knowledge of the Dutch language is required.

‍

In summary, it is not strictly necessary to prepare in advance for our day course or online theory course. However, depending on your personal learning style and comfort level, you may choose to do some preparatory work. Our main goal is to ensure that you go into the CBR theory exam fully prepared and confident.

How do our theory lessons look like during the day course?

The one-day course is your ideal way to success for your theory exam. Here's an overview of what you can expect:

‍

Before the start of the course: Preparation and arrival

  • Start in the morning: The day starts early (usually around 7:00 AM), so you can take the exam the same day after the course. You'll meet at the course location, which is often close to a CBR exam center.

  • Preparation: While pre-study isn't required, you can choose to prepare with the online course materials, such as the e-book, video summaries, and practice questions. This makes the course itself easier to follow and increases your chances of passing the exam on the first try.
During the theory course: Intensive, interactive and effective lesson day
  • Course content: The theory is explained in a fun, clear and understandable way by experienced course instructors, with room for questions and repetition to allow everything to sink in and be remembered.

  • Lots of short breaks: There are four eight-minute breaks throughout the day. During these breaks, you can grab a snack or a drink, use the restroom, or get some fresh air. These short breaks help you stay refreshed and process the information better.

After the course: 🚌 Travel to the CBR and take the exam
  • Around 1:30 pm: You'll finish the theory course around 1:30 PM. You can then go to the CBR (Central Office for Motor Vehicle Driver Testing) yourself, which is usually within walking distance of the course location. If it's a bit further away, a taxi will be arranged to get you there on time.

  • Exam preparation: It's helpful to take practice exams before your exam so you can see how you're doing. This will help you catch any mistakes and ensure you don't make them again. This will give you more confidence going into the exam.

  • Exam location and preparation: When you arrive at the CBR, you can register for the exam an hour beforehand. Once you've registered, you'll see on the screen what you need to do next. You'll receive instructions on how to put your belongings in a locker. Lockers are available, so you don't have to worry. Once you've put everything away, go to the waiting room and wait to be called for your exam.

After the exam

  • Result: Na het examen krijg je direct je resultaat. Als je geslaagd bent, kun je jouw praktijkexamen gaan inplannen met jouw rijinstructeur en binnenkort afrijden!

Collect items and discuss results: When you're finished, you can retrieve your belongings from the locker. Then, go to the course instructor to discuss your results. This is an opportunity to review how you did and get any tips or advice for next time.
