What is the psychological test with colour tables on the Armenian driving theory exam and what happens if I make a mistake
Answer
The psychological test is the first part of the theory exam: 3 questions, all must be answered correctly. With one mistake the 20-question test does not open and the exam is failed. Colour tables are known only from test-takers' accounts. bibip has 76 tables to practise.
Details
The rule. 3 psychological questions: 0 mistakes. Then 20 knowledge questions: at most 2 mistakes.
What the regulation says
| What | What it says | Point |
|---|---|---|
| Parts of the exam | 1) psychological test, 2) knowledge test | 14 |
| Number of questions | psychological test: 3; knowledge test: 20 | 15 |
| Answer options | 2 to 5, only one is correct | 15 |
| Psychological test | you may answer the knowledge-test questions only if all 3 answers are correct | 20 |
| Pass mark | at least 18 correct out of 20 | 20 |
That is all the regulation says. The content of the test is not described.
What the law does not say
The Ministry of Internal Affairs publishes the knowledge-test question bank (point 16, roadpolice.am); it contains no psychological-test questions. So we do not claim that the test checks colour vision.
What test-takers report
Test-takers say the test shows coloured images (they call them colour tables). This is unofficial and cannot be checked. About the images themselves, rely only on what the regulation says.
What bibip has
Group 11 is bibip's practice set: 76 colour tables in each language. In every question you pick what (a number or an image) is shown in the picture. It is not an official group, and the questions are not the real exam's questions.
Practise in group 11; it is open without an account. The mock exam starts with 3 questions from this group, and one mistake ends the attempt, as in the real exam.
Do not rush the first 3 questions: look at the picture first, then choose.

Can I retake it right away
Not right away: retakes have set waiting times, and there is also a paid fast-track retake. Times and fees are on the retake page.
