About DGT Pass
DGT Pass is an iOS app designed to help you pass the Spanish DGT Permit B driving theory test. It uses adaptive learning to identify the questions you struggle with and drills them until you master each one. The app contains over 500 official DGT questions, available in both English and Spanish, with detailed explanations for every answer.
What DGT Pass Does
DGT Pass offers three study modes: Adaptive Practice, Exam Simulation, and Topic Drill. In Adaptive Practice, the app selects questions based on your performance, prioritising your weak areas so you spend time on what matters most. Exam Simulation replicates the real DGT test exactly — 30 questions in 30 minutes, with instant results. Topic Drill lets you practice specific subjects like road signs, right of way, or speed limits. Every question includes a detailed explanation of why the correct answer is right, helping you understand the rules rather than just memorise answers.
Who It's For
DGT Pass is built for anyone preparing for the Spanish DGT Permit B theory exam. This includes Spanish residents getting their first licence, foreign residents and expats who need to pass the theory test after six months of residency, and anyone retaking the exam after a failed attempt. The app is particularly useful for English speakers, as it offers full bilingual support — you can switch between English and Spanish at any time, matching the format of the real DGT exam.
How the Adaptive Algorithm Works
Unlike random practice tests, DGT Pass tracks your performance on every question. When you get a question wrong, it increases that question's priority score. Questions you consistently get right are shown less often. This means your study time is spent on what you actually need to learn, not reviewing material you already know. The system also ensures you always encounter some new questions alongside your review queue, gradually expanding your knowledge across all topics.
Pricing
DGT Pass is free to start — you can practice with a core set of questions without paying anything. The full version costs €19, a one-time payment that unlocks all 500+ questions, unlimited exam simulations, and all features permanently. There is no subscription, no monthly fees, and all future updates are included. Compare this to driving school theory packages (€200–400) or monthly subscription apps (€10–20/month).
The DGT Permit B Exam
The DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) Permit B theory exam is required to obtain a car driving licence in Spain. It consists of 30 multiple-choice questions with a 30-minute time limit. You can make a maximum of 3 mistakes. The exam covers road signs, right of way, speed limits, vehicle safety, and other traffic regulations. It is available in multiple languages including Spanish and English. Approximately 46% of candidates pass on their first attempt.
Why We Built DGT Pass
The DGT exam has a low first-time pass rate not because the test is hard, but because most study methods are inefficient. Reading a theory manual cover to cover and doing random practice tests does not target your specific weaknesses. DGT Pass was built to solve this problem — by focusing your practice time on exactly the questions you need to learn, you can prepare more effectively in less time.
