Quanti errori si possono fare all’esame teorico della patente
Question count, duration and allowed errors vary by category; check the applicable Ministry schedule.
The error threshold is not the same for every licence. For A1, A2, A, B1, B and BE, the computerised test has 30 questions, lasts 20 minutes and allows up to 3 errors; AM has 30 questions in 25 minutes, with up to 3 errors. Professional categories and extensions have different tests: check the current Ministry rule.
There is no single test sheet for every category
The number of allowed errors depends on the licence category and type of test. Ministry pages and attachments distinguish the test sheets: AM has 30 questions, 25 minutes and a maximum of 3 errors; A1, A2, A, B1, B and BE have 30 questions, 20 minutes and a maximum of 3 errors. Do not transfer these figures automatically to C or D categories, extensions or tests with code 97.
For example, tests for C and D categories have different sheets and timings from the category B test; some extensions also have fewer questions. The licence category, any extension and the applicable rules matter. Before quoting a figure or preparing around a remembered threshold, consult the current Ministry schedule or circular for your situation.
Read the result without confusing the rules
The maximum number of errors is an exam rule; a study plan or simulation score does not change it. There is no reliable way to predict the questions you will see from one practice session. Use a simulation to identify topics for review, but compare the test structure with the official schedule for your category.
If you find a different count online, check the date, category and whether the page concerns an ordinary test, an extension or an earlier arrangement. Quiz Patente Ufficiale can help you practise and review theory mistakes; for the official duration, question count and threshold, use current Ministry rules and notices.
