The number of questions on the theory test depends on the country and the specific type of test. For the UK car driving theory test, there are 50 multiple-choice questions with 57 minutes to answer them. In some versions, the test also includes a hazard perception part, but the core multiple-choice part remains 50 questions. To pass, typically 43 out of 50 questions must be answered correctly.

For the Netherlands CBR theory exam, the older format consisted of separate sections with a total of 65 questions (25 hazard perception, 12 knowledge, 28 insight). However, a new theory test introduced in 2025 has 50 questions in one continuous test, combining knowledge and hazard perception elements. The passing score is at least 44 out of 50 questions correct within 30 minutes.

Summary:

  • UK Car Theory Test: 50 multiple-choice questions
  • Dutch CBR New Theory Test (2025): 50 questions in total in one session
