Driving theory test in Romanian
Last reviewed against gov.uk on
You can revise the entire DVSA theory test question bank in Romanian — every question, answer choice and explanation — beside the English wording. The test itself is sat in English (or Welsh in Wales), so the aim is to understand the English faster, not to replace it. Here is exactly how to prepare.
Can I take the theory test in Romanian?
No. DVSA runs the official multiple-choice theory test in English — and in Welsh in Wales — only, and has done since 7 April 2014, when foreign-language voiceovers and interpreters were withdrawn to reduce fraud. There is no Romanian voiceover, translator or interpreter at a DVSA test centre in England, Scotland or Wales.
Northern Ireland is run separately by the DVA, whose theory test still offers voiceovers in Arabic, Cantonese, English, Farsi, Polish, Portuguese and Turkish, and interpreter-assisted tests through a DVA-approved agency you arrange and pay for yourself.
What you can use is the on-screen English (or Welsh) voiceover, available to every candidate at no extra cost, and — for Deaf candidates — a British Sign Language video or an in-person BSL interpreter. Other adjustments, such as extra time with supporting evidence, are listed on the accessibility page.
How to revise for the theory test in Romanian
The Driving Theory Test Kit translates every DVSA question, answer choice and explanation into Romanian alongside the English wording the official test is sat in. The point is to understand the English wording faster — so revise in this order:
- Read the question in English first. Pick out the verb (“give way”, “signal”), the noun (“junction”, “developing hazard”) and the constraint.
- Translate to confirm the meaning. Tap through to Romanian when a word is unclear — it is usually one term (MSPSL, lifesaver, Pelican crossing) that unlocks the whole sentence.
- Read it again in English before you answer. The test is English-only, so building the habit of reading English last is the highest-leverage thing you can do for test day.
- Switch to English-only mock tests near the end. Once the meaning is solid, run a full mock test in English to mirror the real exam exactly.
