Car theory

Research based on official CBR figures has shown that Nutheorie has had the highest passing rate for seven consecutive years. Stichting BBR has conducted research on the CBR open data figures from 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. Click here for the full article. The passing rate for all Nutheorie candidates from 2018 to 2025 is 83.4%. This sets us far above the national average. Below, you can view the results for the latest year and the total of the past seven years.

‍

We have a high pass rate and will do everything we can to help you succeed. If you pay close attention during the course and prepare well with our online learning materials, you'll definitely have a good chance of success! We can't guarantee this, however, as we don't create the exam for you and can't give you the correct answers. But give it your all, and we'll strive for a positive result!

‍

We've already helped over 850,000 candidates pass. To get a good idea of ​​what other candidates think of the course, you can always visit our Facebook page or read our reviews!

‍

Yes, and that's the beauty of us!
If you choose to have us book your exam for you, we'll arrange for you to take your theory exam at the CBR the same day after your course.

‍

‍
If you've already booked an exam, we can determine which course is best suited to your needs!

‍

‍

After passing your CBR theory exam, the result is valid for 1.5 years. This means you must obtain your driving license within this period, otherwise your theory exam will become invalid and you'll have to retake it.

‍

It's important to know that the validity of your theory exam is linked to the date you passed. So, if you passed your theory exam, but it takes too long to schedule and take your practical exam, you'll unfortunately have to retake it.

‍

Yes, absolutely! We have a team that continuously monitors the CBR exam schedule and books exams for our candidates, so that they can take their test as quickly as possible and at a time that fits perfectly with their course day.

To reserve the exam for you, we need an authorization (permission) from you. The CBR (Central Office for Motor Vehicle Driver Testing) uses a secure system in which only certified driving schools can book an exam on behalf of a candidate. By authorizing us through the CBR, you give us permission to do this for you. This authorization is mandatory and ensures that your personal data remains secure and that there is no risk of identity misuse.

_{The sooner you authorize us, the sooner we can get started for you.}

As soon as the authorization is confirmed, we can immediately look for a suitable exam date. And only after the exam has been reserved can we schedule the course day around it. So, the earlier you authorize, the greater the chance of securing an early exam date.

After your registration, you will receive detailed instructions from us on how to easily arrange this authorization. It only takes a minute – and after that, you don’t need to do anything else. Still having trouble with the authorization? No worries! Just give our Nutheorie customer service a call and we’ll be happy to help you.

‍

‍

If you've booked an exam yourself, you can also simply take a day course with us. However, we always need to check course availability and which one best suits your exam. We have 24 course locations throughout the Netherlands, so we will find a course that's a good fit for your exam.

‍

We'll always discuss the options with you!

‍

‍

The best thing you can do is prepare thoroughly with the online course materials about a week before the course. Our online course materials include videos, practice questions, an e-book, and practice exams. These briefly explain the theory, so you already have some prior knowledge. By familiarizing yourself with the traffic rules, traffic signs, and basic traffic principles, the theory will be much easier to understand during the course day, and you'll recognize the connections more quickly. You'll also be able to ask more targeted questions and get more out of the explanations.

‍

Experience shows that students who prepare beforehand score significantly better on the theory exam. They feel more confident during the course and the exam and have less difficulty processing the large amount of information in a single day. Did you know that the pass rate with preparation is up to 30% higher than without?

‍

So a little preparation certainly doesn't hurt!

‍

_{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: You'll receive your results immediately after the exam. If you pass, you can schedule your practical exam with your driving instructor and take your driving test soon!
• ‍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.

Our one-day course currently costs €99,-. This includes:

• The theory lesson itself
• Transportation to the CBR if not within walking distance
• Drinks and snacks during the course
• Online preparation materials with videos, E-book, practice questions, and practice exams.

‍

‍

The dates you provide are your preferred dates. If an exam is available on your preferred date, we will book it immediately. That’s why we ask you to select multiple dates so we can accommodate your preferences as much as possible.

‍

Due to the high demand at the CBR, changes to your course and exam dates may occur. This means it’s quite possible you will be scheduled outside your preferred dates. We do this to avoid long waiting times of several months for your exam.

‍

Once we have reserved an exam and course spot for you, we will send you an email with all the details and the final payment request. Until you receive this email, no date is confirmed.

‍

Please note that for exams, we are always dependent on the CBR. This applies not only to us but to all companies and individuals in the Netherlands who want to book an exam.

We have 24 training locations throughout the Netherlands. We have our own locations within walking distance of the CBR (Central Office for Motor Vehicle Driver Testing), and in some cities, we rent external locations where we teach the course. These external locations can be within walking distance.

‍

Some cities, such as Leiden, Almere, 's-Hertogenbosch, and Tilburg, don't have a CBR location for the theory exam. That's why we have bus locations there. Here's how it works:

‍

1. You come to the meeting point in your city in the morning
2. Our bus will be waiting there to take you and other candidates to the nearest CBR location.
3. You will take the course and the exam at that location.
4. Afterwards we will then bring you back to the meeting point.

Convenient and completely arranged for you at our expense!
