Bulgaria Theory Test D study plan

Bulgaria Theory Test D · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Traffic rules and road signs

  • Classify every Bulgarian road sign by shape, colour and group (warning, priority, prohibition, mandatory, information), writing a one-line meaning for each in your own words.

  • State the default national speed limits for built-up areas, outside built-up areas, motorways and expressways, and list the conditions that lower them.

  • Explain right-of-way at unmarked junctions, roundabouts and priority-road endings, and solve 20 written give-way scenarios without errors on more than two.

  • Recite the rules on overtaking, lane discipline and safe following distance, including the two-second rule and its wet-road variant.

Your checkpoint

A hand-drawn or printed sign-and-rule summary sheet covering all sign groups plus a 30-question self-test scored at 80% or better.

Week 2

Traffic rules and road signs & Safe driving and hazard perception

  • Apply junction, traffic-light and pedestrian-crossing rules to 40 written scenarios, justifying each answer with the specific rule that decides it.

  • Identify the sequence of hazard-perception cues (roadside activity, brake lights ahead, sightline loss on bends) in 15 described situations and rank each by risk.

  • Describe how speed, surface, weather and visibility change stopping distance, and compute stopping distance for three given speeds.

  • List the situations where overtaking is prohibited and the places where stopping and parking are banned.

Your checkpoint

A scored 50-question mixed test on traffic rules and hazard perception, with every wrong answer rewritten as a corrected rule statement.

Week 3

Road markings and traffic signals & Traffic rules and road signs

  • Distinguish longitudinal, transverse and special road markings by colour and pattern, and match each to the rule it enforces.

  • Interpret every traffic-light combination including flashing amber, green arrow, tram signals and lane-control signals.

  • Explain how signals from traffic controllers override signs, markings and lights, and list the priority order of instructions.

  • Resolve 25 written conflicts between a sign, a marking and a light, choosing the controlling instruction each time.

Your checkpoint

A one-page decision table of markings and signals plus a 25-item conflict-resolution quiz scored at 90% or better.

Week 4

Vehicle categories, documentation and load regulations & Vehicle construction, maintenance and technical checks

  • Match each driving-licence category to the vehicles it covers and state the age and medical conditions attached to each.

  • List the documents a driver must carry, the validity periods for licences and insurance, and the consequences of driving without them.

  • Compute permissible load from kerb weight, gross vehicle weight and axle limits, and state the rules on projecting loads, roof racks and trailers.

  • Name the components checked in a pre-drive inspection and the warning signs of brake, tyre, steering and lighting faults.

Your checkpoint

A completed vehicle-and-documents checklist plus 20 load-calculation and technical-fault questions answered correctly.

Week 5

Driver fitness, alcohol, drugs and fatigue & First aid and emergency behaviour

  • State the legal alcohol limits for novice and experienced drivers and describe how alcohol, drugs and medicines degrade reaction time and judgement.

  • Recognise the signs of fatigue and list the rest-break rule you will apply on long drives, including the recommended maximum continuous driving time.

  • Sequence the first-aid steps at a crash scene: securing the site, alerting emergency services, triage and the recovery position.

  • Demonstrate on a manikin or describe step by step how to control severe bleeding, treat burns and handle a suspected spinal injury.

Your checkpoint

A written emergency action card (site safety, call sequence, first-aid steps) plus a 20-question fitness-and-first-aid test scored at 85% or better.

Week 6

Passenger transport, working time and tachograph rules & Vehicle categories, documentation and load regulations

  • Explain tachograph record types, the daily and weekly driving limits, mandatory breaks and daily rest periods for passenger transport.

  • Outline the working-time rules that apply to mobile workers and how they interact with tachograph limits.

  • List the safety duties of a passenger-carrying driver: boarding and alighting, securing luggage, seat belts and behaviour management.

  • Identify which documents and records must be kept available for inspection during a passenger-carrying journey.

Your checkpoint

A worked weekly tachograph schedule for a sample driver, checked against all driving, break and rest limits, plus a 15-question test.

Week 7

Environmental protection and fuel-efficient driving & Safe driving and hazard perception

  • Apply eco-driving techniques (smooth acceleration, early gear changes, anticipation, correct tyre pressure) and estimate the fuel saving each gives.

  • Explain how vehicle choice, maintenance and load affect emissions and fuel consumption.

  • Analyse 15 hazard-perception scenarios involving vulnerable road users, night driving and adverse weather, and state the defensive action for each.

  • Describe how fatigue, distraction and speed interact with hazard perception in real crash sequences.

Your checkpoint

A personal eco-driving and hazard-anticipation plan plus a 30-question combined test on domains 5 and 9 scored at 85% or better.

Week 8

Traffic rules and road signs & Road markings and traffic signals & Vehicle categories, documentation and load regulations & Driver fitness, alcohol, drugs and fatigue & Safe driving and hazard perception & Vehicle construction, maintenance and technical checks & First aid and emergency behaviour & Passenger transport, working time and tachograph rules & Environmental protection and fuel-efficient driving

  • Sit three full-length mock exams under timed conditions and record the score and the domain of every missed question.

  • Re-study only the domains where mock scores fall below 85%, using your own summary sheets.

  • Rehearse the first-aid and emergency sequence and the tachograph limits from memory until recall is error-free.

  • Confirm exam-day logistics: required documents, identification and the test format.

Your checkpoint

Three timed mock exams with a final score of 90% or better on the last attempt and a written list of remaining weak points.

Milestones

Week 2: Score at least 80% on a 50-question test drawn only from domains 1 and 5, and explain every missed answer aloud without notes.

Week 4: Score at least 85% on a 40-question test covering domains 1, 2, 3 and 6, and complete the vehicle-and-documents checklist from memory.

Week 6: Score at least 85% on a 40-question test covering domains 3, 4, 7 and 8, and produce a tachograph schedule with no limit violations.

Week 8: Score 90% or better on a full timed mock exam covering all nine domains, with no domain below 80%.
