Poland Category B Theory Test exam-day guide
Poland Category B Theory Test · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Important: confirm the exact exam-day requirements with your PKK/WORD centre
Rules for the theory test ( dokumenty, timing, rescheduling) are set by the voivodeship road traffic centre (WORD) where you booked. Confirm the current requirements directly with that centre before the test, because details can differ between centres and change over time.
Photo ID (dokument tożsamości ze zdjęciem)
Bring a valid photo ID, typically a passport or national ID card. The centre must be able to verify your identity and match it to your PKK profile. Confirm with the provider which documents they accept and whether a temporary or expired document is refused.
PKK number (Profil Kandydata na Kierowcę)
Your PKK profile must exist and be active before the test. The PKK number links your identity, medical certificate, and category. Confirm with the provider how the number is presented on the day (printed, in an app, or already in their system).
Medical certificate on file (orzeczenie lekarskie)
A valid medical certificate is required for category B. Confirm it is already registered in your PKK profile; if it is not, the centre may not let you sit the test. Check the expiry date and keep a copy.
Proof of completed driving-course theory training
Category B requires a completed theory course at an approved driving school (OSK). Confirm with the provider that your OSK has entered the completion in the PKK system before test day.
Payment confirmation for the theory test fee
The theory test fee is paid to the WORD. Check the current fee and accepted payment methods with your centre, and keep proof of payment. Confirm whether the fee is paid in advance or on the day.
Arrival time and location confirmed
Confirm the exact address, entrance, and reporting time with the provider. Arrive early enough to complete any check-in, but do not assume you can enter the test room before your scheduled slot.
Know the test format in advance
The Polish category B theory test is computer-based and uses a fixed question set drawn from the official pool. Confirm the current format, number of questions, time limit, and pass mark with the provider or the official source, because these can change.
Review the official question base and traffic rules
Study the official theory question base and the Polish Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym) rules, including priority, speed limits, signs, and safety. Use current official materials rather than outdated third-party lists.
Plan transport and a backup
Plan how you will reach the centre and allow a buffer for traffic and public transport delays. Have a backup route or contact number in case of disruption.
Rest and avoid last-minute cramming
Sleep well the night before. Last-minute cramming of new material tends to increase errors; a short review of familiar rules is more useful.
Confirm what happens if you are late or absent
Ask the provider about late-arrival and no-show rules, and whether the fee is refunded or the attempt is counted. Do not assume a missed slot can be reused.
Plan the day
Reconfirm the appointment: date, time, address, and reporting time with the WORD centre. Verify that your PKK profile is active and that the medical certificate and OSK theory-course completion are registered. Confirm the current test fee and payment method, and check that your photo ID is valid.
Do a full timed mock test using the official question base. Review every wrong answer and note the rule behind it. Focus on weak areas such as priority at intersections, speed limits, and sign meanings, rather than rereading everything.
Do one final light review of high-risk topics and the test interface. Prepare your documents in one place: photo ID, PKK number, payment proof, and any confirmation the centre requires. Check transport times and plan to arrive with a buffer. Avoid learning new material late in the day.
Eat and sleep adequately, then leave early. Recheck that you have your photo ID and any required confirmation. Arrive at the centre with time to spare, follow check-in instructions, and keep your phone and personal items where staff direct.
Read each question carefully and watch for negatives and for questions with more than one correct answer, if the format includes them. Manage your time so you can review flagged questions. Answer every question; do not leave blanks unless the format explicitly allows it. If the system fails or you are unsure of an instruction, raise your hand and ask staff.
Confirm your result with staff and ask what it means for booking the practical test. If you did not pass, ask about the waiting period and rebooking rules at that centre, and note which topics to review.
Rules to check
Bring valid photo ID; the centre must be able to verify your identity and match it to your PKK profile. Confirm with the provider which documents are accepted and whether expired or temporary documents are refused.
Your PKK profile must be active, with a valid medical certificate and the required OSK theory-course completion registered before the test. Confirm with the provider if any element is missing or unclear.
Follow the centre's conduct rules: no phones or unauthorised materials in the test room, no communication with other candidates during the test, and follow staff instructions at all times.
The theory test is computer-based and scored against the official question base. Confirm the current number of questions, time limit, and pass mark with the provider or official source, as these can change.
If you need a break or assistance during the test, ask the invigilator rather than leaving the room unannounced; confirm the centre's policy on breaks and interruptions with the provider.
Late arrival or absence may mean you lose the slot and, depending on the centre's rules, the fee. Confirm the late-arrival and cancellation policy with the provider before test day.
Do not rely on unofficial question lists or leaked materials; study from current official sources. If a rule or format detail is unclear, confirm it with the provider rather than guessing.
