Patentino AM quiz: what the 10 topic groups are and how to study them

Here are the 10 groups in which the questions are collected, with one simple sentence for each.

• Group 1: supplementary panels, direction signs, light signals and road markings (segnaletica orizzontale). It covers the signs that give information, the lights and the markings painted on the road.
• Group 2: rules on the right of way. It covers who passes first when vehicles meet.
• Group 3: danger signs. It covers the signs that warn you of a danger.
• Group 4: prohibition, obligation and right of way signs. It covers the signs that forbid something, those that require something and those that regulate the right of way.
• Group 5: speed, distance, overtaking (sorpasso), turning and changing lane (corsia). It covers the basic rules for moving on the road.
• Group 6: stopping, parking and definitions. It covers how and where to stop and the meaning of the words used in the Codice della strada (the Italian highway code).
• Group 7: causes of accidents and insurance. It covers why accidents happen and vehicle insurance.
• Group 8: parts of the moped and the helmet. It covers the parts of the moped and the helmet.
• Group 9: behaviour while riding the moped. It covers how to behave while you ride.
• Group 10: education about the law. It covers respect for the rules and for other people.

In the exam you find 30 statements and for each one you must choose whether it is true or false. You have 25 minutes to finish.

You pass the exam if you get at most 3 answers wrong. The statements cover the 10 topic groups, so it is a good idea to study them all without skipping any.

You do not need to study everything at once. A simple method is this one.

• Study one group at a time, following the order or starting from the one that seems most difficult to you.
• First read the explanation of the topic, then do the quiz questions of that group.
• Mark the questions you get wrong and do them again a few days later.
• When you have finished all 10 groups, do a full exam simulation: 30 statements in 25 minutes, like on the day of the exam.

With PatenteInTasca you can practise group by group, read the explanations and do exam simulations with True or False statements. This way you see straight away where you make the most mistakes and which group to go back to.

The Ministry publishes the lists of exam questions for the AM, B and higher driving licences and for the CQC (driver qualification card) on the Portale dell'Automobilista. The lists are available in Italian, in French and in German.

If Italian is not your first language, reading the questions in one of these languages can help you understand the topics better before practising.
