Silently crying in German, knowing this to be the price here if you manage to pass on the first try...
Don't spread any misinformation. The price for the theoretical part is 25€.

If you take the test 128 times, that comes out to 3200€, a number very similar to the one mentioned in the article.
The article does not talk about the total cost of obtaining a driver's license.
Have to backpaddle, as you are right.
I now have read the article and the fees given in the heading actually refer only to the theoretical tests.
Got a different impression before based on the brief, as it also mentioned the practical test...
