You can practise for your CBR theory exam in several ways. Through self-study, classroom- and online-training. Here your decide what fitst you best and how to study smarter.

What are your CBR study options?

For your theory exam you can practise in several ways. Through self-study. Through an online crash course with self-training and practise exam possibilities. Or through a one-day crash course on location followed by the CBR theory exam. This is all your decision, depending on what suits you best.

Theory College Netherlands (TCN) is offering all these types of courses, but they have stopped doing crash courses on location, without self-training because it has appeared that students prefer studying and training on a time, date and location of their choice. The CBR exam results of these online groups appear to be the best of all training methods.

In addition to this, it appears that these groups retain the studied material much better during their practical education for car or moped. They save a minimum of 3-5 extra driving lessons. Count on saving around € 150-250 on your driving lessons which are normally needed to comprehend and implement traffic rules when they are not internalized due to insufficient theory knowledge.

When do you start with CBR theory training?

From the age of 16 you are allowed to start the theory. This is possible before you start following practical drviving lessons. It is required that you have passed your theory exam before you can take your practical exam. We advise you to start the theory as soon as possible, or even before you start your practical lessons. This way you are better prepared to put it into practice and you will learn, comprehend and implement eveything much faster during your driving lessons. It can easlily save you up to 3-5 extra driving lessons!

Passing your theory exam is the preparation for the “real deal”. After all, your theory certificate is 50% of your driving licence! It will provide half of the many, many safe kilometres which you want to travel in your car.

A good preparation of your CBR theory exam consists of?

Many candidates prepare insufficiently. They think they don’t need a good theory training. For example; they use a 3rd hand theory book. Or they do not use up-to-date practise exams and/or they simply just spend too little time on their preparation.

This results in failing your theory exam one or even several times. This does not only generates extra exam costs but your practical driving training will also be delayed, with extra costs as a result.

Of course there are difficult questions in the exams, but CBR develops the exam questions extra thoroughly with imput of many experts. Therefore it is only a fable that the theory exam if full of trick questions, which are only there to make you fail the test.

Make sure you head off to your theory exam well prepared and you have acces to the latest CBR study material. Pay attention to this with all trainers and their study material!

Have you passed? Then you are showing you comprehend the traffic rules, have a good insight into several traffic situations and you also recognize danger. You can study and practise this in several ways, which are explained below.

Hazard perception is part of the CBR theory exam. In the official CBR theory exam you’ll get 25 questions about hazard percenption and with each question 3 answers are possible:” Brake”, “release the gaspedal”, or “do nothing”.

Brake, release gas pedal or do nothing?

You choose to brake when you have to reduce speed considerably or even have to stop completely with immediate danger. You choose Release the gas pedal when there is imminent danger, but not yet to be seen. Is everything normal? You choose to do nothing. On the CBR theory exam you have 8 seconds to answer these questions.

While answering the hazard perception questions, pay attention to the traffic rules, traffic signs and also road markings. Also pay attention to road conditions, weather conditions and the safety of all road users. You almost always opt for Brake when one of the following situations is the case:

• Bad road conditions
• Bad weather conditions
• Big differences in speed between the different road users
• Traffic jams, congestions or blockage
• Disabled people, children, the elderly
• Road narrowings, narrow roads, oncoming traffic or obstacles
• Dangerous or unclear situations
