Preparing to Take the EC Drivers Test

Due to various (secret) requirements -- described on the Car Lovers thread -- I ended up having about three weeks to study for the test after I was first scheduled to take it.

The plan I followed was to take three practice exams a day at www.ant.gob.ec and correct any errors I found along the way.

One area I particularly studied was the maximum speed limits for the various types of roads in Ecuador. Typically, there were about three questions regarding these speed limits on each practice exam.

However, when I finally got to take the exam via computer at ANT headquarters in Quito (on September 25, 2015), not a single question on these speed limits was on the test.

That made things easier than usual. I correctly answered all 20 questions (16 correct is the minimum to pass).

July 2023: ANT streamlines the 'teórico'

drivers test.

The 20-question test may be more

user-friendly for Expats going forward.

La agencia (ANT) has dropped exactly

half of the 600 potential questions from

which the 20-question exam is devised.

ANT says the drivers of private cars

will no longer be asked to respond to

multiple-choice questions that pertain

to situations related to driving a truck.

I was in this situation on Hauyna Cápac recently. I crossed to the middle of the street when it turned green; waited until the cars turning left finished; and then ran on the red.
