Passed

You will see whether you have passed immediately after the theory exam. The results will also be sent to you by email later. The theory certificate that you receive by email is valid for 1.5 years. This means that you must have passed your practical exam within 1.5 years. If you fail, you will have to re-take the theory exam.

Failed

If you fail, you will have to re-take the theory exam. You will see the categories in which you have made mistakes on the results form sent to you by email. These categories correspond exactly with the chapters here on iTheorie. It is best to study the chapters in which you have made many mistakes again. If you think you are ready for the theory exam again, you can make another booking.
