Pass the 'Teoria' as an American living in Italy.
If you’ve been googling things like “Italian driving licence theory test in English” or “how to get an Italian patente B as a US citizen”, this is for you. Learn 7,000+ Italian driving theory questions using a simple modernized system of spaced repetition and memory markers, explained in English.
Is this you?
You’re an American in Italy who just learned that you cannot convert your existing drivers licence to an Italian one, and that an international license is only valid for a year.
You were already faced with learning Italian, but now you've got to learn the names and meanings of road signs, right of way, insurance, parts of the vehicle, and so much more...in Italian! And since driving without a valid license can result in a fine anywhere from €2257 to €9032...(see paragraph 15), getting your Italian patente B isn’t optional if you want to drive here.
But the usual way of studying for 'la teoria' leaves most foreigners (and locals) stressed, confused, and exhausted.
Why most expats struggle with the Italian theory exam
- They only use quiz apps which simulate 'la teoria' leading to inconsistent test results due to randomized exposure to questions.
- They try to memorise questions not realizing there are over 7,000, some with only slight variations in wording that changes the answer.
- They bounce between an Italian driving licence book, YouTube videos, forum advice, or autoscuola without structure or confidence.
- They follow the advice of locals, many of whom took the Italian written exam over a decade ago in their native language and don't understand the chanllenges expats face.
What you need to break free from the struggle
- Exposure to ALL 7,000+ possible Italian theory questions that surface right as you are about to forget them.
- Spaced repetition flash cards for ALL 5,000+ vocabulary words ensuring you are not fooled by tricky wording or unknown words.
- A focused and structured system designed and tested by English-speaking expats who want to pass the theory test without wasting time.
- A modernized approach that actually supports the way you naturally learn, leaving lectures and rote memorisation in the past where they belong.

Get access & install your deck
After checkout, you’ll receive your download links and instructions. Follow the guide to load the question cards into your spaced-repetition app.
Follow your daily card session
Each day, open the app and complete the cards it shows you. Hard questions come back more often; easy ones appear less often, so you spend time where it matters.
Add memory markers to “tricky” vocab
Use the memory marker techniques to attach vivid stories or images to difficult vocabulary. The more “weird” the image, the easier it is to recall in the exam room.

• This is a self-study system, not a course with live calls or passive videos.
• It contains all 7,000+ Italian theory questions and 5,000+ vocabulary words paired with modern, research-backed learning methods like spaced repetition and memory markers.
• These methods consistently outperform “study apps” and traditional cramming—especially for Americans who haven’t studied in years.
• Because it’s self-paced, it’s also far more affordable.
In short: this isn’t another random quiz app. It’s a structured learning system designed to help foreigners actually retain the rules and pass the exam.
1. How much time you can study, and
2. Your current Italian level.
A highly motivated learner with B2 Italian who studies 3–4 hours a day may be ready in about a month.
Someone starting at A1 with only a few hours per week may need 2–3+ months. The first month is the slowest because you’re learning both the vocabulary and the learning system itself. After that, progress accelerates dramatically.
For the initial setup, I recommend using the desktop version of the spaced repetition app (I walk you through it step-by-step). After that, you can do most of your daily Italian theory question reviews on any device.
• If you live in Europe, VAT is added automatically at checkout (required by law).
• If you use the recommended spaced repetition app on iOS, Apple charges for the mobile version. This is outside my control.
• Everyone can use the desktop or web version of the app for free.
It’s a recommendation because it works exceptionally well for the spaced repetition for the Italian driving licence theory exam. But if you prefer a different tool, just reach out. I can provide the files so you can use the system on your preferred app.
Many Americans fail the first time because they rely on random quiz apps rather than a structured system. This study package trains you to consistently stay well below the mistake threshold.
The foglio rosa is typically valid for 12 months. Within that time you must book and take the practical driving test. This study package focuses on helping you pass the theory exam so you can finally get your foglio rosa and start driving.
That’s why this study system supports learning IN ITALIAN including:
• Italian exam phrasing
• memory tools for tricky vocabulary
You learn exactly what you’ll see on the Italian exam.
