How often can you repeat the theory test?
There are two major hurdles on the way to getting a driver's license, the theoretical and the practical driving test. Many learner drivers are often afraid of the theory test in particular, and it is no big deal if you have to repeat it. The time required and also the costs are kept within limits.
What if you fail the theory test? - That is how often you can take the test again
It has already happened to the best - too little learned, too nervous, maybe also test anxiety and it can happen that you fail the theory test. Fortunately, you can repeat it - or is there a rule that says how often you can?
- To put your mind at ease: In theory, you can restart the test as often as you failed. However, there are a few regulations that play a role.
- The next attempt may be made after two weeks at the earliest. The only downer: the fees have to be paid again for each attempt. At the TÜV that's 11.07 euros or 20.83 euros if the exam is carried out on the PC. Warning: some Driving schools charge an extra fee for registering for the exam.
- Before starting the repetition, it makes sense, if necessary, to to take part in further theoretical lessons. In most of the driving schools there are no further ones costsno matter how often you attend the theory class.
- There is no maximum number of attempts. So you don't have to worry about it, even if it doesn't work out several times. The most important thing now is that you are properly prepared the next time.
The driver's license is important, there is no question about that, but first of all it's about getting this ...
Here's how to properly prepare before retaking the exam
- Most importantly, do not stress yourself any more than you had the last time. Learning beforehand is not optional, but compulsory, but often it does not fail because of it. Check for yourself what the cause was. Nervousness often leads to blackouts and careless mistakes that you can avoid.
- Go to bed early the day before, have a good rest, have a good breakfast and realize that you really have nothing to lose - apart from the fee.
- It may sound banal - and yet it is often precisely because of the nervousness. The more normal and calm your daily routine on the day of the test is the better. And while you're there: don't rush. You have time and should go through your solutions again at the end.
Always remember: completely different ones have already passed the theory test - you can do that too!
