- First-time applicants take two modules on a computer: basic knowledge (Grundwissen, GW) and the category B module. Each module has at least 20 main questions, and follow-up questions can be added.
- You have 30 minutes for each module. A module is passed with at least 80% of the possible points, and you repeat only a module you failed.
- A question can have more than one correct answer. You must mark every correct answer; marking a wrong one makes the whole question wrong.
