Why students pass their CBR car theory exam
Passing your theory exam becomes much easier with clear explanations, realistic practice questions and a learning method that suits you. At Theorie Snel Halen, you can choose between our intensive two-day English classroom course in Amsterdam and our complete English online car theory course. Both options prepare you specifically for the Dutch CBR car theory exam.
The CBR car theory exam consists of 50 questions. You have 30 minutes and need to answer at least 44 questions correctly to pass. An exam with extra time lasts 45 minutes. That is why our students practise with explanations, repetition and exam-style questions. They do not simply memorise the rules; they learn how to apply them in realistic traffic situations.
Prefer to study at home, on the train or at your own pace? Our English theory app gives you video lessons, practice questions and mock exams wherever you are. Would you rather receive live explanations and prepare intensively in a short period? Then our two-day English classroom course in Amsterdam is likely the better choice. Whichever route you choose, you work towards one clear goal: passing your CBR theory exam.
Choose the learning method that suits you and start preparing for your Dutch CBR car theory exam in English.
