The final driving exam — how it works
Three parts, one day. Here's exactly what to expect on exam day.
In the Czech Republic the Category B final exam is supervised by the municipal office, not by the driving school. It takes place at the end of your course, once your instructor confirms you\'re ready. The exam consists of three parts — a theory test, a vehicle-maintenance oral question, and a practical drive. On your first attempt, a certified English interpreter attends the theory and practical sections with you (included in all MeGo courses for foreigners).
The three parts of the exam
Here\'s what each stage looks like.
25 questions on a computer
A multiple-choice test of 25 questions drawn from the official Czech question bank — traffic rules, signs, driving techniques and first aid. You have 30 minutes to complete it. The pass mark is 43 out of 50 points. Our interpreter translates each question and answer for you in real time.
Pass: 43 / 50 pointsA short oral question
The examiner asks you one question about basic vehicle operation and safety — tyre pressure, engine oil, warning lights, required equipment, how to react to a breakdown. No trick questions. We cover everything in the theory sessions and include it in your English study materials.
Pass / failA drive through Brno, 30–60 minutes
You drive our school car with your instructor and the examiner on board. The route covers city streets, junctions, roundabouts, parking — and usually a stretch of motorway or expressway. The examiner gives directions in Czech; our interpreter relays them in English. The examiner looks for safe, confident driving — not perfection.

What if I don\'t pass the first time?
Most MeGo students pass on their first attempt — but if the day doesn\'t go your way, no drama. Czech law allows you to retake each part of the exam. You can only repeat the parts you failed, not the whole thing.
Fees paid directly to the municipal office:
- Repeat theory test: 5 000 CZK including the translator fee
- Repeat practical drive: 400 CZK (+ a 500 CZK school fee for the car and instructor)
- Repeat maintenance question: free, done immediately before the practical retake
If you\'d like extra driving practice between attempts, additional lessons are 1 500 CZK per 90 minutes. Your instructor will recommend how many you need — usually 1–3 are enough.
Frequent exam questions
Is the exam in English?
The official Czech system is in Czech, but on your first attempt a certified interpreter (included in our course) translates both the theory test and the practical drive.
How soon can I take the exam?
Only once your instructor confirms you're ready. Most MeGo students reach this point in 2–3 months (or 30 days for the All In intensive package). We book exam dates directly with the Brno municipal office.
Where does the exam take place?
The theory test happens at the Brno municipal office. The practical drive starts from the same location — you drive a standard route through central Brno and nearby roads. We do mock exams on the same route so there are no surprises.
How many tries do I have?
You have up to 3 attempts within 12 months after first exam. If you don't pass within that window, you'd need to retake part of the training. This is rare — well over 95% of students pass within their first few tries.
Can I have a coffee before the exam?
Absolutely — and breathe. Your instructor will be with you on the drive, the interpreter will translate every instruction clearly, and the examiner is looking for safe driving, not perfection. You've got this.
