All about the theory test - Førerkort klasse B
The test for førerkort klasse b isn't hard if you know what's coming. The problem is that most people walk in without knowing what it looks like, how hard the clock presses, or which questions catch people out. Here is the full picture. Read it before you book.

The test is booked and taken at the Norwegian Public Roads Administration. Always check current rules, prices and requirements with them. They decide, not us.
What is tested
The questions are spread across six areas. The app measures you on each area separately, so you can see in black and white where the points are leaking.
Traffic rules
Priority rules (give way), the right-hand rule, junctions, roundabouts, overtaking, positioning on the road, stopping and parking. The largest part of the test, and where most people lose points.
Road signs and signals
Warning signs, priority and give-way signs, prohibitory signs, mandatory signs, information signs, supplementary panels, road markings, traffic lights and police signals.
Road safety
Stopping distance, reaction time, speed and impact forces, driving in the dark, slippery roads, following distance, vulnerable road users, and what you do at the scene of an accident.
Vehicle knowledge and handling
Tyres, brakes, lights, warning lamps, loads and weights, trailers, the periodic vehicle inspection and insurance.
Environment
Eco-driving, fuels, emissions and how your driving style affects consumption.
People and traffic
Fatigue, alcohol and drugs, stress and peer pressure, eyesight and other senses, young and older drivers, penalties and consequences.
Practise exactly this
Practice questions spread across the same six areas, with an explanation after every answer.

Get accessHow to prepare
1. Read the theory
The theory book is in the app, chapter by chapter, with a test after every section.
2. Practise with explanations
Run mixed sessions with instant answers. Every mistake is explained and lands in your mistake bank until you know it.
3. Take full mock tests
45 questions in 90 minutes, with no answers until you hand it in. Repeat until your score is steady.
4. Reach the Ready level
43 correct out of 45 within the time, ten tests in a row. That's when you book, not before.
A passed theory test is only valid for a limited time
The theory test and the driving test belong together: once you pass the theory you have to pass the driving test before the result expires, otherwise you have to take the theory test again. How long the result stays valid is decided by the Norwegian Public Roads Administration.
Always check the current validity period with the Norwegian Public Roads Administration before you plan. It is a government rule and it can change.
In practice: don't take the theory test long before your driving lessons are wrapped up. If you pass the theory but don't get through the driving test in time, you pay and revise all over again.
Slots hard to come by? Book ahead.
Test slots can be fully booked for weeks ahead. Book an early slot so you have one, and cancel at least 24 hours before if you realise you aren't ready. That saves you both a pointless wait and a test you wouldn't have passed.
Book the test when the app says you're ready, not when you hope you are.
