Swedish driving theory test

What driver's licence questions can you expect in the theory test? It can be said that the test is divided into five different areas. Together, these form a whole that measures your knowledge of driving theory. By gaining knowledge in all of these areas, you have a good chance of passing your theory test. These are the five areas:

• Vehicle knowledge and manoeuvring
• Environment
• Traffic safety
• Traffic rules
• Individual conditions

The theory test consists of 70 questions about these five different subjects. However, five of the questions are trial questions, which are not included in the final result. The test time is 50 minutes, which means that you have just under 43 seconds per question. To pass the theory test, you will need to answer at least 52 questions correctly. In other words, you need to score at least 80% to pass the test.
