You may see both Swedish driving license book and Swedish driving licence book used online. They refer to the same type of study material. “License” is the common American spelling, while “licence” is the British English noun spelling.

In Sweden, learners also sometimes search for Körkortsboken på engelska. Our theory material serves the same goal: helping English-speaking learners understand Swedish Category B driving theory before the official test.

More Than a Traditional Driving Theory Book

The advantage of a digital learning platform is that reading and practice can work together. You can learn a rule, apply it in a question and return to the relevant lesson when you make a mistake.

4. Test your knowledge

Use complete and category-based practice tests to identify weak subjects before returning to the book for revision.

How to Use the Theory Book Effectively

A structured study routine makes it easier to identify what you understand and which areas need more revision.

1

Learn one topic

Read a theory section carefully and make sure you understand the rule before moving to questions.

2

Connect rules and signs

Learn how road signs, markings and traffic rules work together in real situations.

3

Practise questions

Answer questions from the same subject and pay special attention to the explanations.

4

Review weak areas

Use your mistakes to decide which theory lessons you should read again before your next test.

Current Swedish Category B Theory Test Format

According to Trafikverket, the Category B theory test measures whether you have the knowledge required to drive safely and in an environmentally responsible way.

70 Multiple-choice questions
50 Minutes
52 Correct answers required
65 Maximum scored questions

Five of the 70 questions are sample questions that do not count towards the final score.

Trafikverket also explains that online practice questions are not the same questions used in the official examination. The goal should therefore be to understand the full theory, rather than memorising individual answers.
