The Swedish driving theory test, explained
What's actually on the test, why so many people fail it — and how to make sure you don't.
What the test looks like
The theory test for a Swedish car licence (B-körkort) is taken on a computer at Trafikverket Förarprov and has 70 multiple-choice questions covering traffic rules, risk assessment, vehicle knowledge, and the environment. Five of the questions are unscored trial questions, so you need at least 52 correct out of the 65 that count. You have 50 minutes.
Why it's hard
Pass rates have been falling for years, and most people today study on their own rather than through a driving school — private learners fail roughly twice as often as those who went through a school. If you take the test in a translated language rather than Swedish, your odds of passing are, on average, roughly half what they'd be in Swedish.
How Fåkörkort helps
Fåkörkort breaks the official textbook into clear chapters, explains every quiz question, and runs a mock exam that matches the real test exactly — 70 questions, 50 minutes, 52 of 65 to pass. You can read three chapters and take one free mock exam a week before deciding to buy. We're actively translating the course into English — the first chapter is available now, with more added regularly.
