Belarus GAI Theory A/AM exam-day guide
Belarus GAI Theory A/AM · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
National passport or other identity document
Bring the original document, not a copy. Confirm with the provider which identity documents are accepted for the theory exam and whether a residence permit is acceptable in place of a passport.
Medical certificate of the established form
A valid medical opinion on fitness to drive is normally required before admission to the exam. Confirm with the provider the exact form and validity period, and whether the original is needed on the day.
Document confirming completion of driving-school training
The training organisation usually submits the candidate for the exam. Keep any referral or registration confirmation you were given and check with the provider whether you must present it in person.
Receipt or confirmation of state fee payment
Payment of the exam fee and the driving licence fee is generally required. Confirm with the provider which payments must be made before the exam and how payment is verified.
Registration or appointment confirmation
If you booked a slot, bring the confirmation or note the appointment number. Ask the provider how candidates without an appointment are handled.
Knowledge of the current exam structure
Be ready for a computer-based test of traffic rules and safe driving. Confirm with the provider the number of questions, the time limit, and the permitted number of errors before the exam.
Arrival with time to spare
Arrive at least 20 to 30 minutes early to complete document checks and settle in. Late arrival may mean losing the slot; confirm the provider's late-arrival policy.
Leave prohibited items behind
Phones, smart watches, notes, and study materials are normally not allowed in the exam room. Ask the provider where to store personal belongings.
Rest and a normal meal beforehand
A short night's sleep and a light meal reduce careless errors. Avoid heavy food, alcohol, and energy drinks before the test.
Plan the route to the exam point
Check the address, public transport connections, and traffic conditions in advance. Allow extra time for possible queues at the entrance.
Read the instructions on screen carefully
Before starting, check the candidate details, the question format, and how to change an answer. Ask the invigilator if anything is unclear.
Know what happens after the test
Find out in advance how the result is announced and how to book the practical driving test. Confirm the procedure with the provider.
Plan the day
Confirm the date, time, and address with the provider and re-check every document on the checklist. Make sure the medical certificate is still valid and that the fee payment, if required, has gone through. Resolve any gap now rather than on exam morning.
Do two or three full mock tests under real conditions: no phone, no notes, strict time limit. Review every mistake and write down the rule behind it. Focus on weak topics such as priority at junctions, overtaking, and speed limits rather than re-reading everything.
Stop learning new material. Review your own error list and a short summary of signs, markings, and key prohibitions. Prepare clothes and documents in one place. Check the route and travel time again.
Do one final short review in the morning, then stop. Avoid cramming late at night. Set two alarms, go to bed at a normal hour, and avoid alcohol entirely. Confirm the departure time and how you will get there.
Eat a light breakfast, take your identity document and other required papers, and leave with a buffer for delays. Do not study intensively on the way; a brief glance at your error list is enough. Arrive early and stay calm.
Present your documents, complete any formalities, and follow the invigilator's instructions. Switch off your phone and store it as directed. Use the waiting time to settle down, not to discuss questions with other candidates.
Read each question fully, including words such as 'allowed', 'prohibited', and 'must'. Answer the easy questions first if the format allows, then return to difficult ones. Watch the remaining time and avoid leaving answers blank. Change an answer only when you have a clear reason.
Wait for the official result. If you pass, ask about the next step, usually the practical test, and keep the result document safe. If you do not pass, ask about the retake interval and procedure. Confirm both with the provider.
Rules to check
Bring the original identity document required by the provider; a copy or an expired document will normally not be accepted. Confirm the accepted forms of ID in advance.
Follow all instructions from the invigilator. Talking, using a phone or smart device, or having notes in the exam room is normally treated as a violation and may end the exam.
The test is usually computer-based and time-limited. Confirm the number of questions, the time allowed, and the number of permitted errors with the provider before the day.
Scoring is normally based on the number of errors, with a set threshold for passing. Do not rely on guesswork about the threshold; confirm the current rule with the provider.
If you need a break, water, or other assistance, raise your hand and ask the invigilator rather than leaving the room on your own.
If a technical problem occurs, such as a frozen screen or a lost connection, stop and call the invigilator immediately. Do not try to fix the equipment yourself.
A candidate who disagrees with the result should ask the provider about the official appeal or review procedure and the deadline for filing it.
Arrive on time. Late candidates may be refused entry or moved to another slot; confirm the provider's policy on lateness and missed appointments.
