Practice modes

Three ways to practise

  • Practise

    Explanation after every question. No time pressure. After each answer you see straight away whether it was right and why.

  • Train

    Build up speed against the clock. The clock runs, but running out of time will not make you fail. You get the explanations at the end.

  • Exam

    A timed exam. A clock and no help, as in the real exam. At the end you pass or fail.

Frequently asked questions

Can I take the Italian driving theory exam in English?

No. The theory exam for patente A and B is in Italian; on request you can also take it in French or German. That is why our statements are in Italian. The help in your language explains each one and keeps the Italian term in brackets, so you learn the words you will read in the exam.

What does the Italian theory exam look like?

The exam for patente A and B has 30 statements (affermazioni). For each one you answer Vero (true) or Falso (false). You have 20 minutes and you pass with at most 3 mistakes, that is at least 27 correct answers.

I am a foreigner living in Italy and my Italian is not good yet. Can I still prepare?

Yes. Practise with the help in your language at first, and use it less and less as the Italian road terms become familiar. The statements stay in Italian all the time, so you get used to the language of the exam.

Do patente A and patente B have the same theory exam?

Yes. For A1, A2, A and B the theory exam is the same: the same format and the same topics. That is why PatenteInTasca has one programme, Patente A and B.

Can I practise for free?

Yes. You can take a free practice exam of 20 statements in 14 minutes, without paying and without an account. Afterwards, with a free account, you see your score and the chapters to go over again. The right answer and explanation for every statement, the chapter explanations and more practice exams come with a package.

Can I prepare on my own, without a driving school (da privatista)?

Yes. You can prepare for the theory exam on your own, and PatenteInTasca is made for that. For patente B you still take the compulsory driving lessons at a driving school (autoscuola), on the motorway, on extra-urban roads and at night, before you practise driving with someone who accompanies you.

What happens after the theory exam?

If you pass, you get the foglio rosa: the permit to practise driving, valid for 12 months. If you fail, you can take the exam again after at least one month. You have two attempts within six months of your application; after that you need a new application.

Is PatenteInTasca affiliated with the Motorizzazione?

No. PatenteInTasca is not affiliated with the Ministero delle Infrastrutture e dei Trasporti (MIT) or the Motorizzazione, and it is not a driving school. We write the statements ourselves; they are not the questions of the exam. You take the exam itself at the Motorizzazione, and we do not guarantee that you will pass.

Is it a subscription?

No. You pay once for a fixed period: 7, 21 or 31 days, or 24 hours with the Day pass. It does not renew by itself. You have 14 days to change your mind: see right of withdrawal.
