Poland Category B Theory Test study plan

Poland Category B Theory Test · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Traffic rules and road signs (znaki i sygnały drogowe, przepisy ruchu drogowego)

Classify every Polish road sign into the official groups (ostrzegawcze, zakazu, nakazu, informacyjne, kierunku, uzupełniające, poziome) and state the legal meaning of each shape and colour convention.
Memorise the priority hierarchy (sygnały osoby kierującej ruchem, sygnalizacja świetlna, znaki, przepisy ogólne) and recite it from memory in the correct order.
Draw and label the three right-of-way patterns for uncontrolled junctions: równorzędne, ze znakiem pierwszeństwa, ze skrzyżowaniem o ruchu okrężnym.
Solve 40 sign-recognition items and log every miss with the sign name and the reason for the error.

A one-page handwritten priority hierarchy plus a personal error log listing at least 15 missed signs with corrections.

Week 2

Apply speed-limit rules for built-up areas, motorways, expressways and night driving, and list every situation that lowers the default limit.
Explain overtaking rules: forbidden cases, the wyprzedzanie versus wymijanie distinction, and the rules for overtaking at junctions and pedestrian crossings.
Describe stopping and parking prohibitions, including distances from crossings, junctions, bus stops and railway crossings, and the meaning of the linia ciągła and linia przerywana markings.
Complete 60 mixed traffic-rule questions under a 25-second-per-question timer and review every wrong answer.

A completed 60-question timed set with a written correction note for each error and a score recorded.

Week 3

Trace the full sequence a driver must follow at a level crossing, from the znak ostrzegawczy through the rogatka state and the safe stopping point.
Identify the light-signal combinations that permit or forbid turning and state how a green arrow works alongside the general signal.
Recognise the five most common hazard scenarios (pedestrian stepping out, vehicle emerging from a side road, cyclist on a crossing, wet-road aquaplaning, overtaking on a crest) and state the correct anticipatory action for each.
Practise scanning discipline: describe out loud, for 20 minutes of driving video or a real drive, every hazard spotted in the next 5 seconds.

A hazard commentary sheet covering 10 scenarios with the trigger, the reaction and the stopping-distance estimate for each.

Week 4

Calculate and compare braking distance on dry, wet and icy asphalt at 50, 90 and 140 km/h, and state how reaction time adds to total stopping distance.
Explain tyre grip, tread depth limits and the effect of underinflation on braking and fuel use, and check the tread and pressure on a real or simulated vehicle.
Describe how ABS, ESP and winter tyres change driver behaviour, including what ABS does and does not shorten.
List the pre-drive checks in a fixed order (tyres, lights, fluids, mirrors, seat, documents) and perform them once timed.

A stopping-distance table for three speeds and three surfaces, plus a signed and dated pre-drive checklist completed once.

Week 5

Name the main components of the braking, steering and cooling systems and state one failure symptom for each.
Explain the warning lights on the dashboard and rank them by how urgently the driver must stop.
Perform the first-aid sequence on a simulated casualty: secure the scene, call 112 with the required information, check consciousness and breathing, and place an unconscious breathing casualty in the recovery position.
Describe how to control severe bleeding and how to position a casualty with suspected spinal injury while waiting for the emergency services.

A spoken or written walkthrough of a full first-aid scenario, from scene safety to handover to the ambulance crew, recorded once.

Week 6

List the documents a driver must carry and state the categories of the driving licence, including the B category restrictions for young drivers during the first eight months.
Explain the points system (system punktowy), the number of points per infringement type, and the consequences of exceeding 24 points.
State the blood-alcohol limits in Poland, the consequences of driving above them, and the difference between a misdemeanour and a crime in traffic law.
Describe the driver's duties after a collision: what to do when there are injuries, when only property is damaged, and when the police must be called.

A one-page reference card listing documents, points thresholds, alcohol limits and post-collision duties, written from memory and then checked.

Week 7

Apply eco-driving techniques: smooth acceleration, early gear changes, engine braking, and switching off the engine during longer stops.
Explain how route planning, tyre pressure and removing roof racks reduce fuel consumption, and estimate the percentage savings for each.
Revisit the weakest sign groups from the week 1 error log and re-test them until no errors remain.
Complete a full-length mock theory test under exam conditions and record the score per domain.

A full mock test result with a per-domain score breakdown and a list of the three weakest domains to target in week 8.

Week 8

Re-test every domain flagged as weak in the week 7 mock and correct each remaining error until it is explained in your own words.
Run two more full-length mock tests, each under exam timing, and compare the scores with week 7.
Review the error logs from weeks 1 to 7 and confirm that no logged item is still unexplained.
Rehearse the exam interface rules: question count, time limit, pass mark and how to flag and revisit questions.

Three full mock tests completed with scores at or above the pass mark on the final attempt, plus a closed error log.

Week 2: Recite the priority hierarchy and the default speed limits without notes, and score at least 75% on a 40-question signs-and-rules set.

Week 4: Produce the stopping-distance table unaided and complete the pre-drive checklist in under five minutes with no missed item.

Week 6: Write the documents, points and alcohol-limit reference card from memory with fewer than three errors.

Week 8: Score at or above the pass mark on two consecutive full mock tests and have no unexplained entries left in the error log.
