When do new questions start in the theory exam and which question base applies now
Answer
On 2 October 2026 the Ministry of Internal Affairs published the new theory exam question banks. New questions join the tests 30 days after publication, so from about 1 November 2026. The announcement gives no exact date; check roadpolice.am. Until then the previous base applies. The A, B, C bank has 1,050 questions (11 new); the D, T bank has 1,380 (437 new).
Details
What is known Per the Ministry, the new banks were published on roadpolice.am on 2 October 2026, and new questions join the tests 30 days after publication. Counting from 2 October, that is about 1 November. The announcement gives no specific day, so the date is approximate. Under point 16 of the Procedure (Decision No. 385-N), new questions may be added to the tests 30 days after publication, not earlier.
What applies now Until that date the tests keep the previous base. If your exam is soon, prepare with both old and new questions: around the switch either set may appear. This is our advice, not an official rule.
