Important notes
The Ministry publishes the full bank of 509 official Category B questions. Every question in this app is drawn from that official bank.
You cannot legally take the exam without completing the minimum hours at a licensed driving school.
The law lists penalties for driving schools that cut corners (e.g. training without proper certification, using non-compliant vehicles). Choose a reputable school.
Exam mechanics (question count, time limit, passing threshold, points) are set by Ministry of Infrastructure sub-regulation and may change. The system was updated on 18 February 2025. Always verify current rules with your driving school or the Ministry directly.
