Norway Theory Test - Category B study plan
Norway Theory Test - Category B · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
Traffic rules and road signs
Map every Norwegian road sign group (warning, priority, prohibition, mandatory, information) and state the meaning of each sign you can recall without notes
Recite the general speed limits for built-up areas, rural roads, motorways and special zones, and name the situations where a lower posted limit overrides them
Explain the meaning of the most common road markings, including centre lines, edge lines, stop lines and pedestrian crossings
Describe the rules for using lights, indicators and horn in the situations the theory test presents
Your checkpoint
A one-page sign and marking cheat sheet, written from memory, that you can check against the handbook with fewer than five corrections
Traffic rules and road signs & Right of way and intersection behaviour
Apply the priority rules for unregulated intersections, including the right-hand rule and the exceptions for exit from a private road or petrol station
Identify the priority signs (give way, stop, priority road, priority at the next junction) and state what action each requires
Work through the order of priority at T-junctions, roundabouts and junctions where signs and the right-hand rule conflict
Explain when you must yield to pedestrians at crossings and when you must yield when turning across a cycle path or footpath
Your checkpoint
Twenty intersection scenarios solved in writing, each with the correct order of priority and the rule or sign that decides it
Right of way and intersection behaviour & Speed, stopping distance and safe following
Compute stopping distance at 30, 50, 80 and 100 km/h using the reaction-plus-braking breakdown, and state how wet or icy surfaces change the result
Explain the two-second rule and calculate a safe following gap at several speeds
Describe how speed limits are set and when you must reduce speed below the posted limit
Apply the rules for overtaking, including where overtaking is prohibited and what a safe overtaking distance looks like
Your checkpoint
A stopping-distance table you build yourself for at least five speeds on dry, wet and icy roads, with the formula and assumptions written next to it
Hazard perception and defensive driving & Attitudes, risk awareness and interaction with other road users
Scan for hazards systematically using mirror checks, forward scanning and side-road awareness, and describe what each check is for
Name the main hazard categories on Norwegian roads: vulnerable road users, wildlife, heavy vehicles, farm traffic and blind crests
Explain how attitude and risk-taking affect crash risk, including the role of overconfidence and peer pressure
Describe how to interact safely with cyclists, pedestrians, motorcyclists and children near schools and bus stops
Your checkpoint
A written hazard commentary on ten short road situations you describe yourself, each naming the hazard, the cue that reveals it and the action you would take
Vehicle knowledge, tyres and maintenance & Driving in winter conditions and on Norwegian roads
Explain tyre requirements in Norway, including minimum tread depth, winter tyre rules and when studded tyres may be used
Describe how to check tyre pressure, tread wear and the consequences of under-inflation on grip and fuel use
Name the key checks a driver should make on lights, brakes, fluids and warning symbols before a long trip
Explain how snow, ice, slush, studded tyres and studless winter tyres change braking and steering behaviour, and describe the main winter driving techniques
Your checkpoint
A pre-trip vehicle checklist plus a short winter-driving summary, both written from memory and then corrected against the handbook
Alcohol, drugs, fatigue and driver fitness & First aid, incidents and emergency procedures
State the Norwegian blood-alcohol limit and the consequences of driving under the influence, including loss of licence and criminal liability
Explain how fatigue, illness and medicines affect driving, and name the warning signs of drowsiness
Describe the correct first-aid steps at a crash scene: securing the site, calling emergency services and giving the information they need
Explain how to place a warning triangle, use hazard lights and manage the scene until help arrives
Your checkpoint
A written emergency action card covering a crash scene, a person found unconscious and a vehicle fire, in the order you would act
Documentation, insurance and obligations of the driver & Environment, fuel-efficient and considerate driving
List the documents a driver must carry or be able to produce, and explain the vehicle registration and periodic inspection obligations
Explain the minimum insurance requirements and what happens if you drive without valid insurance
Describe fuel-efficient driving techniques, including gear choice, anticipation, idling and tyre pressure
Explain how driving style affects emissions, noise and wear, and describe considerate driving around residential areas
Your checkpoint
A one-page summary of driver documentation and insurance obligations plus five fuel-saving habits you can state without notes
Traffic rules and road signs & Right of way and intersection behaviour & Speed, stopping distance and safe following & Hazard perception and defensive driving & Vehicle knowledge, tyres and maintenance & Driving in winter conditions and on Norwegian roads & Alcohol, drugs, fatigue and driver fitness & First aid, incidents and emergency procedures & Documentation, insurance and obligations of the driver & Environment, fuel-efficient and considerate driving & Attitudes, risk awareness and interaction with other road users
Re-test yourself across all domains and identify the three weakest areas
Re-study the weak areas and re-test until you reach a consistent pass level on full-length practice sets
Practise timed full-length sets under exam conditions to build pace and reduce careless errors
Review every question you got wrong and write the correct rule in your own words
Your checkpoint
Three timed full-length practice tests completed with a recorded score for each and a short written list of the rules you still miss
Milestones
Week 2: Score at least 85 percent on a mixed set of traffic-rule and right-of-way questions without using notes
Week 4: Explain stopping distance, following distance and hazard scanning to another person without referring to your notes
Week 6: Score at least 85 percent on a mixed set covering driver fitness, first aid and winter driving
Week 8: Pass three consecutive timed full-length practice tests at or above the pass mark, with no domain below 80 percent
