Theory test practice

Theory Test Practice

It is a good idea to start preparing for the theory test well in advance. Online applications offer convenient and versatile ways to practise. With online theory test exercises, you can test your knowledge using a test similar to the official examination. Please note that this service does not provide EAS training. You can obtain this training from your driving school. 
The practice tests generally contain questions similar to those in the official examination. The questions used in the official test are created by Traficom and are not published anywhere. Some websites, including this one, offer various types of exercises in addition to theory test practice, such as interactive video exercises. If you are obtaining your first driving licence, you must complete EAS training at a driving school or an educational institution that provides such training. 
The questions presented in our tests and exercises cover the same topics as those in the official driving theory test. However, the questions are not exactly the same, as publishing the official questions is not permitted. The traffic situation exercises (image-based questions) on this website are created using video technology. The exercises in the official test are created using animation software.
However, there is no significant difference between the two methods in terms of learning. Do not memorise the questions; instead, learn and understand the traffic rules. 

What Does the Theory Test Include?

• Traffic situation questions
• Multiple-choice questions
• Hazard perception questions

The number of questions in the theory test and the number of permitted mistakes depend on the driving licence category you are applying for. 

Purpose of the Theory Test

The purpose of the theory test is to ensure that driving licence applicants understand the following:

• The responsibilities and obligations of vehicle drivers
• The technical characteristics of vehicles
• The fundamentals of safe and fuel-efficient driving
• Road signs and traffic rules
• How to identify hazards, assess risks, and avoid dangerous situations

When can I take the theory test?

You can take the test one month before reaching the required minimum age. However, you can only take the T-category theory test once you have reached the minimum age of 15. Applicants seeking a category B driving licence under an age exemption permit may take the theory test from the age of 17. The theory test must be passed before the practical driving test. If you are obtaining your first driving licence, you must complete EAS training, which is available from driving schools. EAS training cannot be completed on this website.

How Much Time Do I Have to Complete the Theory Test?

• You have 30 minutes to complete the theory test.

You can also take the test with an extended answering time of 60 minutes. Contact Traficom for detailed information about the eligibility criteria.

A passed theory test is valid for one year.
