With the ongoing changes in traffic rules and technology, many candidates wonder: has the theory exam really become more difficult in 2025? In this blog post, we discuss the recent changes, what this means for you, and how you can best prepare – so you can get one step closer to your provisional driving license B.

What has changed?

In recent years, several significant changes have been made to the theory exam:

• Questions are more realistic and situation-specific.

• There is more focus on hazard recognition and traffic insight.

• Simply memorising signs is not enough.

In short: the exam tests not only whether you know the rules but also whether you understand and can apply them.

What does this mean for you?

Don't be discouraged: the new exam is mainly smarter, not stricter. With the right approach, you can significantly increase your chances of passing. It is important to study with recent and reliable material. Outdated books or apps won't help you – the rules are changing, and the exam is evolving accordingly. The way you practice also makes a difference. Focus on questions that place you in realistic situations, rather than testing dry factual knowledge.
