USAREURPracticeTest.com

Hello all! When you first find out that you will be deployed to Germany, one of the first questions you will probably ask yourself is "will I be able to drive there?" - The answer is YES, but you will have to take the official Germany USAREUR (US Army Europe) driving test.

We created USAREURpracticeTest.com to help you pass your German USAREUR driver license exam the FIRST time you take it. We have taken our content straight from the official study material, so all you need to know is in one place. We hope that you find this site useful in assisting you to pass your test the first time you take it.

We recognize that this site may not be for everyone, but please pass the word around to anyone you know who is about to take their test! The site is absolutely FREE for everyone. The test is notoriously hard, and military officials recommend you set aside at least 12 hours for study. With the help of our site, you can cut that time down and spend more time doing things you actually WANT to do ;)

You don't have to wait to take the test until you get to Germany - in many places you can also take the test state-side, so now is as good a time to start practicing as any!

First...you do not 'deploy' to Germany. And 2nd..only an idiot cannot pass the USAREUR driver's test. It's easy and as long as you study the different road signs and the way they work their 'right of way' system. The website is a good idea for the slow-children out there they can't manage to read a small little handbook for 5minutes...but this is not the place to advertise it. =]

I'm having a Jen moment today...full of piss & vinegar. =] 

virgin --- 14 years ago -

yay. jen moments are the way to go this holiday season.

Kelli - As the great Barney Stinson would say: "Challenge accepted!"

Did you know that so far out of all of the places we have posted this information, you are the first person that did not have something nice to say about it?

My apology for the previous post made by the other person involved with the site. He is not familiar with the military terms such as 'deploy' and 'PCS.' However, using the wrong term does not mean the site is not useful.

Here is a little fact for you since you are apparently a smart person.

According to Stripes.com, Last year, using the old, longer test, Hanau’s 414th Base Support Battalion had a 45 percent failure rate; Wiesbaden recorded a 41 percent failure rate; Mannheim had a failure rate of 42 percent; and Darmstadt’s was about 25 percent. Those BSBs, now called garrisons, started using the new test in September. Since then, their failure rates have gone down slightly in some cases and up slightly in some: Hanau: 38 percent; Wiesbaden: 35 percent; Mannheim: 45 percent; Darmstadt: 32 percent.

Here is my challenge to you, should you decide to put your ego where your mouth is. Come on over to USAREURpracticeTest and register. Registration does not include providing any personal information. Use the username Kelli so we will recognize you. We only have the multiple choice test online right now, so the road sign portion of the test is not available for you to take. But, let's see how well you do on the 154 question multiple choice test. According to you, you should be able to pull off a 100%.

I look forward to seeing your score. We'll come back here and post it for everyone to see so you can show off your perfect score. 

Pureawesoness --- 14 years ago -

Darmstadt has been closed since september of 09.

I think the site is a good idea, the response about you comming back and posting someones score up just bc you didnt like their response....not so much. 

Euro Maker --- 14 years ago -

Please don't misunderstand me. The scores are posted on the website to begin with in the top scores list. Anyone can see them, regardless. Of course, since real names are not used unless someone wants to, it is not necessarily a personal announcement.

The article above is kind of old, but the failure rate info is still pretty valid.

Kelli was just being a bit rude with her tone, and kind of insulting to anyone who doesn't pass the first time. There are plenty of those people around.

Thank you, Jello, for your comment. I was not trying to be nasty with the comment of coming back to post the score. I figured Kelli would get 100% from the way she wrote her message. 

Pureawesoness --- 14 years ago -

Its hard to get a 100%
There are people who take the German drivers licence test and fail several times before being able to get their drivers licence. It takes months. It is WAY different then in the us.
You have to actually go to classes, not just once but many times, its 2 tests, the driving and the theorical one, which means youd need so and so many hrs of theorical classes before you can even go for the driving ones, then the driving ones are 6 hrs night , 6 hrs daylight, 3 autobahn and so on, its also a LOT more expensive, taking in consideration materials the hrs and the rest youd probably end up somewhere around the 1500$-2000$ ( not euro converted to $ thats around the amount) And yeah its hard, definatly. 

Euro Maker --- 14 years ago -

I am not sure that we are talking about the same thing here. We are not talking about the German driver license test. This is about the USAREUR driver license in Germany.

The USAREUR test here does not require a driving test. It is one test, and it is written. Multiple choice and matching. It takes in the neighborhood of about two hours, give or take.

The cost is, if I remember correctly, $10.

You have to have a valid stateside license to get it. 

Pureawesoness --- 14 years ago -

yeah i know , what i ment with that is that i agree with the above test bc the actual german test is a lot harder then just taking that one, im sure its hard but not AS hard as the one the "locals" would have to take....does that make sense ? Im agreeing with both parties here lol 

Pureawesoness --- 14 years ago -

plus definatly cheaper lol 

Euro Maker --- 14 years ago -

For sure. The German test is grueling. But, unlike the U.S. license, it is not something that is renewed every few years. Once you have the German license, it is not going to expire. And, if you move from state to state in Germany, the same license is good. In the U.S. we have to test and re-license anytime we move to another state.

If you take into consideration the number of renewals we have in the U.S., plus the initial fees, I wonder how much we actually pay over the lifetime of having a U.S. driver license? 

Cyber Victimizer --- 14 years ago -

The test wasn't that hard. This, like anything else, requires people to actually learn the concepts. A website is all fine and dandy for the slow learners, but the rest of us didn't have to struggle and fail repeatedly. And yes, I did indeed have a USAREUR license of my very own. 

Euro Maker --- 14 years ago -

My wife and I passed the first time as well. I scored a 100%, my wife a 98%. We both studied for about 4 hours each.

I agree that the test was not all that difficult. I also agree that if people would just study, they would pass.

But, I don't think it has anything to do with being a "slow learner" as you so eloquently put it. It is more about taking the time to study.

I would guess that most of the people who fail the test simply did not study adequately. Thus, a website is born to help people study.

Now, anyone with an Internet connected phone can study for the test without having to carry around a book.

Some people learn more quickly by computer.

Whatever the reason for failure, I don't think these people are necessarily slow learners. 

Elizabeth F --- 14 years ago -

I studied the book before I took the test and only missed one question, and there were quite a few people on my test day that had failed before. My husband did not study for one minute before the test day and he did not miss a single question. The whole right of way thing boggled my mind even after studying so much and taking the practice tests until the teacher explained it on test day. This is the same practice test as in the book (except for the signs portion) but it is much easier having it online. I would've like to have had this before I had my test. 

Euro Maker --- 14 years ago -

The sign portion of the test will be online shortly. Hopefully by this weekend. It will be a matching test, just like the real thing.

Our goal is to simulate the real thing as closely as possible, so when people get to the real test, it won't be a shock. 

virgin --- 14 years ago -

and for the record... its not me over there stirring p1ss with the wifeys. so go lay out in the middle of a roundabout and close your eyes. 

virgin --- 14 years ago -

CAPS LOCKS MONSTERS HAVE SURFACED! OH SNAP! 

virgin --- 14 years ago -

a dayspa? 

Euro Maker --- 14 years ago -

So you just happen to know there is someone at RU using the same name as you and causing trouble? Interesting. 

virgin --- 14 years ago -

they do it all the time. they stir p1ss with other undergrounds. 

Euro Maker --- 14 years ago -

Sounds like a boring thing to do. Those people must need a hobby. 

Kelli --- 14 years ago -

wow what a way to allow more of the idiots in Germany drive....meaning the jo's that stay drunk, of course. AND fyi dikwad--while the website isn't a bad idea, I am pretty much against anything that allows the dumb & ignorant and easier way out. They douche's get enough freebies as it is...why give them a website so they can learn the test? If they care enough they can pick up the handbook like everyone else. =] 

Cyber Victimizer --- 14 years ago -

Those people must need a hobby.

Like yours? All you do is obsess over the other undergrounds and go running back to your quilting bee over there to share the drama. You actually provide links so that the whole lot of you can ooh and ahh over the savages and reassure each other that you're all so grateful to have such a clean site. You make me sick. 

Euro Maker --- 14 years ago -

You make me sick.

Then I am doing it right. 

virgin --- 14 years ago -

oh i understand i upset you by calling you out on your pill popping. 

kmcer --- 14 years ago -

The Sign Matching practice test has been added, which means our site now offers you all the tools you need to effectively study for your official USAREUR driver license test.

Come visit us at GermanDriversLicense.com

virgin --- 14 years ago -

you iced me, screw you and your site. 

CU Trash --- 14 years ago -

you iced me, screw you and your site.

Screwing?! Guess who hubby is screwing? I'll give you 3 guesses...

And you know her! 

rmitchell248 --- 14 years ago -

First...you do not 'deploy' to Germany
I'm having a Jen moment today...full of piss & vinegar


I do not come around here much so I am a bit lost on your Jen reference.... Is it safe to say that Jen makes incorrect statements quite often in addition to being full of piss and vinegar?

Because you would be amazed at how many people actually do "deploy" to Germany. While a vast majority PCS several actually are deployed to Landstuhl and Ramstein both. And yes I mean deployed to the same extent as one would be deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan Kuwait ect ect ect.

I would not have anything to say here but you were wrong with such certainty and corrective authority to the original poster that I could not help but point it out.
