The last week before the exam

The course is done, and from here something else is at work: not “learn something new” but “stop making mistakes in what you already know”. Three tools on the site are built for exactly this week, each with its own job.

The mock exam is about the regime, not about knowledge

The real exam runs as one continuous flow: 50 scored questions, 30 minutes, the threshold is 44. How the exam runs as a whole is set out in the lesson [“How the exam works”](/en/guides/les-examen-verloop).

The mock exists so you get used to the pace and to the fact that you cannot go back to a question. Sit it in one go, no pauses and no peeking, or it tests something else. Once or twice a week is enough: more often and you start remembering the questions instead of the rules.

Try it yourself: [documents and licences](/en/oefenen?onderwerp=documents-licences) — 93 questions, the largest topic after the signs.

Weak spots are about the address of the mistake

After a mock, look not at the score but at WHERE it went wrong. A priority mistake and a parking mistake are cured differently: the first with diagrams, the second with a table.

A useful habit: write down the three worst topics and spend a day on those alone. Revising everything evenly yields the least in this week.

Try it yourself: [priority with signs](/en/oefenen?onderwerp=priority-signs-intersections) — 48 questions, [stopping and parking](/en/oefenen?onderwerp=stopping-parking) — 31.

The final check is about the decision to go

A day or two before the exam you need no new material but an answer to one question: ready or not. The sign is simple — two mocks in a row above the threshold, without peeking and in full regime.

If that does not happen, moving the date is cheaper than resitting: a resit costs the full price, moving does not.

Try it yourself: [speed choice and risk](/en/oefenen?onderwerp=risk-speed-choice) — 76 questions, the topic where mistakes weigh most.

What not to do in this week

Do not start new topics from scratch — there will be no time left to revise. Do not try to memorise tables whole: what is asked is the relationship, not the figures. And do not change your exam language at the last moment: vocabulary is built over weeks, not in an evening. What each language gives you is in the guide [“Which language to sit the theory in”](/en/guides/exam-english).

Try it yourself: [legal definitions](/en/oefenen?onderwerp=legal-definitions) — 14 questions.

What to remember

The mock exam shows the regime, weak spots the address of the mistake, the final check your readiness. All three work only in full regime: with the clock, no pauses, and no going back to a question.
