Taking your Dutch driving theory exam in a busy computer hall is stressful for anyone. For candidates who struggle with reading Dutch, have dyslexia, ADHD, or other learning difficulties, the standard exam can feel impossible, not because of a lack of knowledge, but because of the format. The oral theory exam (mondeling theorie examen) offers a better alternative. At 1op1cursus.nl, we help you apply for this exam and prepare you step by step.
The oral theory exam is an official CBR exam format available to candidates who have difficulty with the standard digital exam. Instead of reading questions on a screen and clicking answers alone, a CBR staff member sits with you in a quiet, private room and reads every question aloud. You answer verbally, at your own pace. The pass mark and content are exactly the same as the regular theory exam, only the format changes.
This exam is available for all driving licence categories in the Netherlands: car (rijbewijs B), motorcycle (A1/A2/A), and moped/scooter (AM).
Here is what the oral theory exam looks like in practice:
No distractions, no other candidates. Just you and the examiner in a calm, private environment.
Every question is read aloud to you. You do not need to read anything from a screen.
If you do not understand a question, you can ask for clarification, something the regular exam does not allow.
There is no time pressure per question. Move on only when you feel ready.
More time means less stress and a fairer chance to show what you know.

The oral theory exam (in Dutch: mondeling theorie examen) is a legal, official CBR examination. It is not a simplified version of the theory exam: the content, difficulty level, and pass requirements are identical. The only difference is the delivery: questions are spoken, not written. This makes it a more accessible format for candidates who struggle with reading, digital environments, or test anxiety.
The exam is conducted entirely in Dutch by a CBR staff member. If you are an international candidate, you will need a sufficient understanding of spoken Dutch to follow the questions, just as you would for the Dutch-language mondeling theorie examen. At 1op1cursus.nl, we prepare you for both the content and the language used in the exam.
The oral theory exam is available to candidates with a valid reason for needing an adapted exam format. This includes:
You do not always need an official diagnosis, but the CBR does require a valid application. We help you submit this application correctly.
To take the oral theory exam, you must submit a special application to the CBR through MijnCBR. In some cases, you will also need to include supporting documentation, such as a statement from a doctor, speech therapist, or school. The CBR then assesses your application and confirms whether you qualify.
At 1op1cursus.nl, we guide you through the entire application process. We know exactly what documentation is needed and how to submit the application so it is approved as quickly as possible. Once your application is approved, we plan your preparation right away.
There are two adapted exam formats available at the CBR:
If reading Dutch is a difficulty for you, the oral exam is the better option, and the same applies to our course for candidates with learning difficulties. If you can read Dutch but simply need more time to process and answer, the extra time exam may be sufficient. Not sure which suits you? We can advise you during the intake.
Our preparation course for the oral theory exam is one-on-one and fully personalised. We teach you the theory content in the same way the exam will be conducted: questions read aloud, answers discussed verbally, at a calm pace. This means you are not only learning the material, you are also practising the exact exam situation.
In the first session, we assess your current knowledge and identify where the gaps are, exactly as we do in our one-on-one theory packages. We then build a personalised lesson plan. We do not rush. We work at the pace that gets you to the exam ready and confident.
We end the preparation with a mock exam in the same format as the oral CBR exam: questions read aloud, verbal answers, timed at 45 minutes. By exam day, the format will feel completely familiar.
From application to exam date, we take care of as much as possible. We help you submit the CBR application correctly, monitor its progress, and plan your lessons so you are fully prepared by the time your exam date arrives. All you need to do is show up and do your best. We work with candidates from all over the Netherlands, including Amsterdam and Rotterdam, and international residents who need support in English. Contact us to discuss how we can help you.

The oral theory exam (mondeling theorie examen) is an official CBR exam format where a staff member reads all questions aloud to you in a private room. You answer verbally. The content and pass mark are the same as the regular theory exam, only the format is different.
Candidates with dyslexia, ADHD, learning difficulties, low literacy in Dutch, or severe test anxiety may qualify. International candidates who understand spoken Dutch better than written Dutch can also apply.
You submit a special application through MijnCBR, sometimes with supporting documentation (doctor's note, school statement, etc.). At 1op1cursus.nl, we guide you through the entire application process.
No, the content and pass requirements are identical. The format is different: questions are spoken, not written. It is a fairer format for those who struggle with reading or digital environments, not a simpler one.
You have 45 minutes, compared to 30 minutes for the standard exam. You also set your own pace: you only move to the next question when you are ready.
Yes, if you do not understand a question, you may ask the CBR staff member for clarification. This is not allowed in the standard computer-based exam.
The CBR conducts the oral theory exam in Dutch. At 1op1cursus.nl, we offer preparation support in English for international candidates, but the exam itself is in Dutch.
The extra time exam (ETT) is done on a computer: you read the questions yourself with 50% more time. The oral exam has a staff member read everything aloud in a private room. If reading Dutch is the difficulty, the oral exam is the better choice.
We give private, one-on-one lessons where we teach you the theory in the same spoken format as the exam. Questions are read aloud, answers are discussed verbally, at your own pace. We also do a full mock oral exam before the real thing.
Yes, the oral theory exam is available for all Dutch driving licence categories: car (B), motorcycle (A1/A2/A), and moped/scooter (AM).
You can appeal the decision or opt for the extra time exam instead. We will advise you on the best next step and help you with any follow-up application.
This depends on your starting level. Most candidates need between 4 and 10 private lessons. We will not book your exam until you are genuinely ready.
