Practicing for the scooter theory exam is all about simulating certain situations in practice. The CBR uses realistic questions, where you have to anticipate what happens in practice. These kinds of questions are the closest thing to how things work in practice. So these are realistic questions that increase your traffic insight.

Tips for exercising effectively:

  • Create as many practice questions/exams as possible so that you recognize all the questions on the CBR exam.

  • Always check the explanation of the answers so you understand why something is right or wrong.

  • Practice under time pressure. At the CBR, you have 30 minutes for 50 questions, so train yourself to respond quickly and correctly.

Important: The questions about traffic insight are often the most difficult. The CBR wants to see that you can assess situations before they become dangerous. Bee Now theory we address all these questions!

2. Not reading the question and answers correctly

Sometimes a question revolves around a small detail, such as “who may here as prima keep driving?” or “when must you are obliged to stop”. Candidates who read too fast miss such small but important words, causing them to choose the wrong answer.
