Learning for the moped theory test
As the moped test only consists of a theory test, it is important that you learn all the questions well. The theory test for mopeds consists of 30 questions and you can get a maximum of 3 wrong. If you answer a question incorrectly, you will normally receive 3 demerit points, as you have marked one incorrectly and not marked two. You are therefore allowed a maximum of 9 penalty points to pass.
Learning tips
We recommend the following tricks to help you pass your moped test:
- Find your learning hotspot: Find a quiet and cozy place where you can fully concentrate on learning – your personal paddock for success!
- No distractions: Switch on the “Do not disturb” mode on your cell phone so that you stay focused and no messages interrupt your learning flow.
- Daily training for your success: schedule at least 30 minutes every day to familiarize yourself with the traffic rules and important situations. Regularity is the key to success!
- Understand traffic rules instead of just memorizing them: Watch videos on typical traffic situations or actively go through the rules. This will give you a better feel for how to drive safely on the road.
- Celebrate your progress: Learning can also be fun: Reward yourself after a successful learning unit. Whether it’s a short break, a snack or a short moto race in your mind – motivation is everything!
