The exam, honestly

Since April 2025 the CBR exam is one integrated 50-question test — and it got harder.

  • ±41%
    national pass rate — most candidates fail their first attempt
  • 44 / 50
    questions you must answer correctly to pass
  • 30 min
    on the clock — the new exam moves fast
  • €50,50+
    per attempt (€57 in English). Retakes add up

Permio puts you on the right side of those numbers — first try.

Ask your coach · AI tutor

Never memorise blindly. Ask why.

Got a question wrong? Your coach explains the rule behind it in plain English or Dutch — priority, roundabouts, that one weird sign — in seconds, not forum threads.

  • Plain-language answers, 24/7
  • Understands Dutch traffic terms other apps skip
  • Linked to the exact question you missed

Readiness

Know when to book the CBR.

A readiness score per topic tells you exactly where you stand. Book your exam when your coach says you're ready — not when you hope you are. One exam fee, not three.

  • Per-topic mastery tracking
  • Weak spots resurface until they stick
  • Clear "book it" signal when you consistently pass mocks

Audio lessons

Study on the bike. Obviously.

Theory as listenable episodes — rules, scenarios and memory hooks read aloud. Turn your commute, gym set or laundry cycle into exam prep.

  • Full curriculum as audio, EN & NL
  • Picks up where you left off
  • Pairs with the questions you practised that day

Voor studenten · For internationals

In het Nederlands. And in English.

Whether you grew up cycling through Utrecht or landed at Schiphol last semester — the exam is the same, and so is the app.

  • The real exam exists in English

    The CBR offers the car theory exam in English — no interpreter needed. Permio preps you in the language you'll actually sit it in, and lets you flip to Dutch anytime.

  • Dutch words that don't translate

    Woonerf. Snorfiets. Brommobiel. Voorrangsweg. Your coach explains the concepts behind untranslatable Dutch traffic terms instead of pretending an English word exists.

  • Built for Dutch roads

    Roundabouts everywhere, cyclists with priority, trams, and "priority from the right". If you learned traffic anywhere else, Permio retrains your instincts for NL.

  • One app for your whole flat

    Dutch student? Study in Dutch. Your Erasmus flatmate? Same app in English. Same questions, same mock exams, same coaches.

Your coach is ready when you are.
