ASA Theoriefragen

The Official Question Catalogue

The ASA (Association of Road Traffic Offices) creates and maintains the official theory questions.

Important

  • All available ASA theory questions are included in the Fahrlehrer24 app — exactly those used in exams throughout Switzerland.

  • The app is always up to date. When the question catalogue changes, an update is released immediately.

  • The ASA does not publish all questions — up to 33% of the catalogue remains withheld. Fahrlehrer24 includes all publicly available questions.

Car, motorcycle and scooter (Cat. B, A1, A) share the same question catalogue. Study once — and you are ready for all three categories.
