Car theory test in Bern: format, preparation and test centre
Bilingual canton: city, agglomeration, Alpine approaches
In the canton of Bern you can sit the test in German or French, depending on site and choice. Picture questions often feel like the mix between the federal city, the suburbs and the approaches towards Thun: mixed junctions, bus lanes, then a climb. Priority and speed rules are nationwide, but the scenery switches from inner city to agglomeration to Alpine approach.
Book online with your reference number
After the learner-permit application the SVSA sends an admission letter with a reference number. You use that number in the online counter — you cannot just walk in on exam day. Book as soon as the letter arrives; slots in Bern and at the outlying sites fill up.
