The theory test at WORD

Step by step

1. You take the test on a computer at the WORD. You book with your PKK number at info-kierowca.pl or at the counter; the fee is about PLN 55–59 depending on the voivodeship.
2. 20 basic questions (YES/NO): 20 seconds to read, 15 seconds to answer. 12 specialist questions (A/B/C): 50 seconds per question.
3. Each question is worth 3, 2 or 1 point. Of 74 points you need 68. Two mistakes on 3-point questions are already the limit.
4. You can't go back to a previous question, a video plays only once, no answer means 0 points. So practise against the clock.
5. After passing, you book the practical test. A passed theory test is currently valid indefinitely, as it has been since 2014.

Worth knowing

• The ministry's question database is public and free on gov.pl. The July 2026 version has over 3,500 questions, including 1,029 with a video and 912 with a photo; in 2026 it has already changed 4 times. The law allows at most 4,000 questions.

• After a failed test you can, on request, see the questions and the correct answers. Next time you know what to study.

• You can also take the theory test in English, German or Ukrainian. Deaf candidates take it with Polish sign language interpretation and get 40 minutes instead of 25.

• The government's draft UD402 proposes that from 2027 results be valid for 24 months and the question database be smaller. For now it is only a draft, not law.

• How to study: from the official database, against the clock and without hints. Go back to the questions you get wrong. Several mock tests passed in a row say more than one high score.
