The format
The exam has 30 questions. You get 30 minutes to answer, and the computer keeps the time. You pass if the number of wrong answers does not exceed three.
Questions are answered in order — that is how CSDD brings the situation closer to real decision-making in traffic. Source: csdd.lv, checked 01.11.2026.
What you need beforehand
Before the CSDD theory exam you must have:
- passed the school's own theory exam — within a year of enrolling
- a valid medical check
- completed first aid training
- a passport, eID card or learner permit with you
Without these you will not be admitted.
The deadlines people forget
The driving exam must be passed within a year of the theory exam. If it is not, the theory has to be retaken. The whole path must be completed no later than three years after enrolling.
How to practise
The question bank is on this site: 1610 questions across 18 topics, and every answer opens with an explanation rather than just a mark. There is also a full mock exam in the same format — 30 questions, 30 minutes, three mistakes allowed.
Practising by topic is more useful than grinding through the whole bank: if mistakes pile up in one topic, you see it straight away.
