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

Week 1

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

Week 2

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

Week 3

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

Week 4

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

Week 5

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

Week 6

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

Week 7

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

Week 8

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
