The Norway Theory Test - Category A1 study guide has 6 sections and about 2,350 words.
01Traffic rules and road signs (A1)
The A1 class covers light motorcycles up to 125 cm³, 11 kW and 0.1 kW/kg, ridden from 16 years. This domain tests whether you can apply the Norwegian traffic rules (trafikkreglene) and the sign regulation to a machine that is small, quick and easy to overlook.
404 words, about 2 min02Safe riding and hazard perception
This domain tests hazard perception: how fast things happen on two wheels, what you can actually see, and how much room you need to stop. Questions put you inside a developing situation and ask what should have happened before it became critical.
414 words, about 2 min03Vehicle knowledge, maintenance and equipment
Questions here test the pre-ride check (sikkerhetskontroll), simple maintenance, and the equipment the law requires on an A1 machine. Walk around the bike before every ride: Tyres: pressure as stated in the manual, measured cold; tread above the legal minimum; no cracks or embedded stones.
393 words, about 2 min04First aid and emergency procedures
This domain covers the first minutes after a crash: securing the scene, calling for help correctly, and giving first aid without making things worse. Stop, secure, call, care.
397 words, about 2 min05Attitudes, risk awareness and personal responsibility
Risk-awareness questions test judgement rather than knowledge: how you ride when nobody is watching, and what you accept from other people. Vegtrafikkloven § 3 requires care and attention and that you can stop in time for what is ahead.
360 words, about 2 min06Environment, economy and protective gear
The final domain links three practical things: how your riding affects the environment and your wallet, and what you should be wearing when something goes wrong. Smooth, anticipatory riding beats hard acceleration and late braking for both fuel use and safety.
