Theory for your German licence – in your language.
drivevise teaches you the theory of the German driving test in short lessons. After every section you check what you have understood, and the AI study aid summarises the material for you in English.
Physik des Anhaltens
Die Bewegungsenergie wächst mit dem Quadrat der Geschwindigkeit. Das wirkt sich direkt auf den Bremsweg aus.
Verständnisfrage
Du fährst doppelt so schnell. Was passiert mit dem Bremsweg?
Noch nicht ganz.
Doppelte Geschwindigkeit bedeutet vierfachen Bremsweg, weil v² in die Formel eingeht.
Probier’s aus: Tipp eine Antwort an.
From 2027 you decide how you learn the theory.
Under the planned reform of driver training in Germany, theory lessons at a driving school are to become optional. You can then learn in class, digitally in a group or entirely on your own with an app. You still need a driving school for everything you can only learn in the car.
Status: draft by the German federal government, planned from 1 January 2027. The Bundesrat and the federal states still have to approve it.

Frequently asked questions
Do I still need a driving school?
Yes, for driving lessons, the special training drives and the practical test. Before the practical test, the driving school confirms that you are ready. Only the theory is to change with the planned reform from 2027: then you decide how you learn it, including entirely with an app like drivevise.
From when can I learn the theory without lessons at a driving school?
According to the current government draft, from 1 January 2027. The Bundesrat and the federal states still have to approve it, and details may change. Until then, theory lessons are part of your training at the driving school, and drivevise helps you understand the material before or alongside them.
Are these the official test questions?
No. drivevise explains the material so that you understand the questions instead of memorising them. Self-checks and the mock exam use our own questions in the test format. To practise the official questions, use a question trainer as well.
Is there a subscription?
No. Learning area 1 is free. For everything else you pay once for the time you need; access then ends automatically. If your driving school uses drivevise, you get access from them.
Learning with a driving school?
If your driving school uses drivevise, you get your access directly from them – just ask for an invitation.
