Can you take the French highway code exam in Arabic?
The official exam (the ETG) is administered in French: the questions and answers are in French. Nothing, however, stops you from learning the whole programme in Arabic first. On Koody, every lesson, road sign and question exists in Arabic alongside the French: you grasp the rule first, then recognise the French words you’ll meet on exam day. If you don’t yet master French, ask your exam centre about any support arrangements available (service-public.fr).
How many questions do you need to answer correctly?
The test has 40 multiple-choice questions. To pass you need at least 35 correct answers — so you’re allowed 5 mistakes at most. A question may have one or several correct answers, and it only counts as right if you tick exactly the correct boxes. The questions span ten official themes — traffic rules, signs, the driver, the road, other road users, mechanics, first aid… Practising timed mock exams is the best way to reach that threshold with confidence.
How do you revise effectively in Arabic?
Work through the material theme by theme rather than mixing everything. For each theme, first read the lesson in Arabic to understand the rule, look at the related road signs, then practise questions until your mistakes fade. Always revisit the questions you got wrong — that’s where progress hides. Finish with mock exams under real conditions (40 timed questions) to check you’re keeping the pace and the 35-correct threshold.
Do you need to know the French vocabulary?
Yes — and that’s exactly where bilingual learning makes the difference. Because the exam is in French, you must recognise the key phrases: “céder le passage” (give way), “sens interdit” (no entry), “priorité à droite” (priority from the right), “chaussée glissante” (slippery road)… By showing each term in Arabic and French side by side, Koody helps you memorise the concept and its French label at once. On exam day these phrases become familiar landmarks rather than obstacles.
How much does the exam cost and how do you register?
The code exam costs €30 and is taken at an approved centre (La Poste, SGS, Dekra, Bureau Veritas…). You can register through a driving school, or as an independent candidate (“candidat libre”): in that case, first request a NEPH number on the ANTS website, then book a slot directly with an operator. Always check the required documents and up-to-date fees on the official sources (service-public.fr, securite-routiere.gouv.fr) before booking.
In short: learn and understand the whole code in Arabic, pick up the key French terms along the way, and aim for at least 35 correct answers out of 40. The language of revision is yours; the language of the exam is French — Koody bridges the two.
