The most important step before getting your Saudi driving licence
The Dallah Computer Test is the theory exam you must pass before you can get a Saudi driving licence. It is taken on a computer at your driving school — which is why locals call it the "computer test". Dallah Driving School is the most popular school in Saudi Arabia, so the test is widely known as the Dallah Computer Test, but all approved driving schools use the same format.
Know exactly what to expect before you sit down at the computer
60% of the test (around 21 questions)
This section covers Saudi traffic laws, road rules, right of way, speed limits, overtaking, seatbelts, fines, and driving behaviour. This is the most important section to study as it makes up the majority of the test.
40% of the test (around 14 questions)
This section tests your knowledge of Saudi road signs — warning signs, regulatory signs, mandatory signs, and guide signs. You need to recognise signs by appearance and understand what they mean.
You can skip questions you are unsure about
Unlike some exams, the Dallah computer test allows you to skip a question and come back to it later. Never guess and risk a wrong answer — skip and return if you have time remaining.
Choose your language at the start
The test is available in Arabic, English, Urdu, and Hindi. You select your preferred language at the beginning of the test on the computer. There is no difference in difficulty between language versions.
The full process from registration to receiving your licence
Register on the Absher platform (absher.sa) — this is the Saudi government's digital services portal. All driving licence applications are managed through Absher. You will need your Iqama number to register.
Visit an approved medical centre for the Efada test — a basic medical examination covering your vision, blood group, and general health. You cannot book your driving test without this report. The report costs around SAR 50–100.
Enrol at an approved driving school such as Dallah Driving School. Take all your documents with you. The school will register you in the system and schedule your computer test appointment.
Study using this website's practice tests and mock tests before your exam date. On the day, arrive at the driving school early, bring your Iqama, and sit the 35-question computer test. You need 22 correct answers to pass. You have 30 minutes.
After passing the computer test, you complete your practical driving lessons and the road test with an instructor. The number of lessons required depends on your driving experience and whether you hold a foreign licence.
Once you pass all tests, your Saudi driving licence is issued. You can collect it in person at the driving school or Muroor (traffic police) office, or receive it via Saudi Post. Check the status on your Absher app. The licence is valid for 2, 5, or 10 years depending on the fee paid.

Know what happens so you walk in confident
From people who have been through it
60% of the test is traffic rules. Master speed limits, right of way, roundabouts, seatbelt laws, and fines before moving to signs.
Triangle = warning. Circle = prohibition or mandatory. Octagon = stop. Blue circle = mandatory instruction. Learn the shapes first, then the specific signs.
You can skip questions on the real test. If you are unsure, skip it and come back. A wrong answer is still wrong, so skip rather than guess randomly.
Practice under time pressure before the real test. 30 minutes for 35 questions is comfortable if you have practised, but tight if you are reading slowly.
Highway limit: 120 km/h. City limit: 60–80 km/h. School zone: 30–50 km/h. Black points limit: 24. Seatbelt fine: SAR 150–300. Red light fine: SAR 3,000–6,000.
If you are taking the test in Urdu or Hindi, make sure you practise in that language too. Some terms translate differently and familiarity helps under pressure.
Many questions are designed to catch you out with similar-sounding answers. Read every word of the question before selecting your answer.
One week of daily practice using this site's questions is enough for most people to pass. Do not try to cram everything the night before.
