Frequently asked questions

  • What is the theory exam like in Bilbao?

    30 multiple-choice questions and you may miss up to 3. Metruta's exam mode mirrors that format with 30 minutes per test so you practice under real pressure.

  • How much does sitting the theory exam cost?

    The DGT 2.1 fee is 94,05 € (October 2026) and covers two sittings. It excludes driving-school charges — going por libre you skip them.

  • How many questions do I need to practice?

    There is no official number: the DGT does not publish its bank. Our honest advice is to practice until you chain several mocks under 3 misses across varied topics, not to memorize a fixed number of tests.

  • Does Metruta work if I go por libre, without a driving school?

    Yes: the free plan (3 exams a day) plus topic theory covers theory prep. You pay the exam fee directly to the DGT.

  • Where is the exam taken in Bilbao?

    At the Bilbao Provincial Traffic Office. Your driving school (or the DGT if you go por libre) assigns your venue and date when you register.
