Körkortsteoriprovet

Körkortsteoriprovet, commonly known as the Swedish driving theory test, is an essential examination for individuals seeking to obtain a driving license in Sweden. Administered by the Swedish Transport Agency (Trafikverket), the test evaluates a candidate’s understanding of traffic rules, road signs, and safe driving practices. It serves as a prerequisite for taking the practical driving test and is required for all categories of driving licenses, including car (B), motorcycle (A), and truck (C/D).

The test consists of 60 multiple-choice questions, divided into two sections: one focusing on traffic rules and the other on road signs. Candidates have 45 minutes to complete the exam, with a passing score of at least 45 correct answers. The questions are designed to assess both theoretical knowledge and practical application, ensuring that drivers are prepared for real-world scenarios. The test is available in multiple languages, including Swedish, English, and several others, to accommodate Sweden’s diverse population.

To prepare for the test, candidates typically study using official study materials provided by Trafikverket, such as the *Traffic Rules* booklet (*Traffikreglerna*) and online resources. Many also use practice tests and apps to familiarize themselves with the question formats. The test is conducted at approved test centers across Sweden, where candidates take it on a computer. Upon passing, they receive a confirmation that allows them to proceed with the practical driving test.

The Körkortsteoriprovet is regularly updated to reflect changes in traffic laws and road safety regulations, ensuring that drivers remain informed about current standards. Failing the test does not result in a permanent disqualification, as candidates are allowed to retake it after a waiting period. The examination plays a crucial role in promoting road safety by ensuring that all drivers possess the necessary knowledge to navigate Swedish roads responsibly.
