Qué debes saber antes del examen

Since 20 December 2021 the theory test for a B licence has 30 questions instead of 40. You have 20 minutes and may make no more than 3 mistakes.
Each item in the official question list is a statement that you mark true (vero) or false (falso). Our practice uses mostly four-option questions on the same rules, plus some true-or-false items.
You must pass the theory test within 6 months of applying, with no more than 2 attempts in that time. After a failed exam you must wait at least one month.
Passing the theory test gives you the learner's permit (foglio rosa). It is valid for 12 months, and you can take the practical test up to 3 times in that period.
The practical test cannot be taken until one month after the foglio rosa is issued.
You must be 18 for a category B licence. Every licence starts with 20 points.
For 3 years after getting a B licence, new drivers may not exceed 100 km/h on motorways or 90 km/h on main roads outside towns, and must have zero alcohol.
