About this exam

The Albanian category B driving licence is the standard car licence issued through DPSHTRR, the Drejtoria e Përgjithshme e Shërbimeve të Transportit Rrugor. The theory test for category B is grouped on the DPSHTRR portal together with categories A1, A2 and B1 under the heading "Simulimi i Testit Teorik për Kategoritë A1, A2, B1 dhe B", and the same site lists a separate simulation area for "Normat e Sjelljes në Qarkullimin Rrugor" (rules of behaviour in road traffic). Candidates preparing for the B licence should therefore expect two content areas: traffic rules and behaviour on the road, and the knowledge specific to the A1, A2, B1 and B vehicle categories. DPSHTRR publishes study material for licence candidates, including a road safety booklet (Libërth i Sigurise Rrugore), a manual for preparing licence candidates (Manuali për Përgatitjen e Kandidatëve për Leje Drejtimi) and the question sets in use (Pyetesore në Përdorim), and it offers an official online test simulation. Preparation normally combines classroom or self-study of those materials with repeated practice on the simulation and question sets, followed by the practical training required before the licence is issued.

What you'll study

Common questions

About Leje Drejtimi Kategoria B preparation

What is the format of the category B theory exam?

The DPSHTRR portal presents the theory test as a multiple-choice simulation, with a dedicated simulation area for the A1, A2, B1 and B categories and a separate one for road traffic behaviour rules. The portal does not state the exact number of questions or the time limit on the pages summarised here, so confirm those details with DPSHTRR before your exam date.

How long is the exam and how many questions are there?

Those figures are not published in the DPSHTRR material summarised here, so treat any number you hear informally with caution. Check the official simulation page or ask your driving school for the current question count and duration. Practising under a timer on the official simulation is the safest way to build the right pace.

What score do I need to pass?

The passing threshold is not stated in the source material summarised here. Ask your autoshkollë or check the DPSHTRR pages for the current rule. In the meantime, aim to answer consistently above the level you would need, since a comfortable margin protects you against a few careless errors on exam day.

Which topics should I study first?

Start with the road traffic behaviour rules, since that area is large and underpins everything else: priority, signalling, speed, overtaking, parking and hazard awareness. Once those are solid, move to the category-specific material for A1, A2, B1 and B vehicles, including vehicle knowledge and safe handling. Finish with timed simulations to find your weak spots.

Can I retake the theory exam if I fail?

The retake rules, waiting periods and any additional fees are not specified in the material summarised here. Contact DPSHTRR or your driving school for the current procedure. Because retakes usually mean extra cost and delay, it is worth postponing the exam until your simulation scores are stable rather than attempting it early.

Which official study materials should I use?

DPSHTRR publishes a road safety booklet (Libërth i Sigurise Rrugore), a manual for preparing licence candidates (Manuali për Përgatitjen e Kandidatëve për Leje Drejtimi) and the question sets currently in use (Pyetesore në Përdorim), plus an official online test simulation. Study the manual first, then use the question sets and simulation for practice.

Is the exam difficult?

Difficulty depends mainly on how well you know the traffic rules rather than on trick questions. Candidates who read the manual once and rely on memory of everyday driving often struggle with priority rules, road signs and category-specific details. Working through the official question sets repeatedly and reviewing every mistake is the most reliable way to raise your score.

What are the most common reasons candidates fail?

Typical weak points are right-of-way at junctions, the meaning of less common signs and markings, safe following distance and speed limits in specific situations, and confusing rules that differ between vehicle categories. Rushing through questions without reading them fully is another frequent cause. Review your errors after each practice session instead of simply repeating tests.

Is this page an official DPSHTRR service?

No. This is an independent study resource for candidates preparing for the Albanian category B theory exam. It is not affiliated with DPSHTRR. Always confirm exam format, fees, scheduling and licence validity on the official DPSHTRR website or with your driving school before making decisions.
