The Italian Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport (MIT) sets the rules of the exam; examiners of the Motorizzazione administer it. Always check the current format on mit.gov.it.
Patente D: the theory exam has 40 statements. For each one you answer Vero (true) or Falso (false), with 40 minutes in total. You pass with at least 36 correct answers. The exam is in Italian. You find the rules of the exam on mit.gov.it.
You can practise for patente A and B, which have the same theory exam (A1 and A2 too), for the AM licence (patentino), for the higher licences C, C1, D and D1 and for the CQC for goods and passengers. Each licence has its own programme, with its own exam format and packages.
For every licence that is available you have three modes:
Practise (Esercitazione). After each answer you see straight away whether it was right and why.
Train (Allenamento). The clock runs and the explanations come at the end.
Exam (Esame). A timed practice exam in the format of the exam, without help. At the end you see whether you would have passed.
For patente A and B the explanations are split into chapters on the topics of the theory exam: signs, right of way (precedenza), speed, overtaking (sorpasso), parking, documents and much more. You can read them or listen to them in Italian, with a synthetic voice. The explanation of every statement names the rule of the Codice della strada it comes from. Under the statements you find help in English, Turkish, Romanian, Albanian, Arabic and Ukrainian, with the Italian term in brackets.
Four habits that help:
One topic at a time. Read the chapter and answer the statements on that topic straight away.
Read every word. A word such as sempre (always), solo (only) or mai (never) can turn the answer from Vero to Falso.
Go over your mistakes. Return to the topics where you make the most mistakes until you understand them.
Simulate the exam. Take timed practice exams until you pass them with a margin several times in a row.

The app
With the PatenteInTasca app you keep practising wherever you are: on the train, during a break or on the sofa.
Patente D: you need at least 36 correct answers out of 40 statements, in 40 minutes. Every statement is Vero (true) or Falso (false).
Yes, for the licences that are available. Every chapter has its own explanations and statements, and you can practise one chapter at a time. That way you go over exactly the topics where you make the most mistakes.
No. We write them ourselves, on the topics of the exam and in its format, with the help of artificial intelligence, and we check them against the Codice della strada. They are not the questions of the exam, and we do not guarantee that you will pass.
Patente A and B, the AM licence (patentino), the higher licences C, C1, D and D1 and the CQC for goods and passengers. Each programme has its own explanations, quizzes and practice exams, and a package is for one licence.
For the licences that are available you can take a free practice exam straight away, without an account and without paying.
