Check the official retake process
For Category B, you must wait two weeks before taking a new theory test. At the new test you must show valid identity documentation and pay the test fee again.
Check the official Category B page for current arrangements and follow the booking service for your next appointment. The preparation steps below are suggestions for using your study time; they do not shorten the required wait.
Work with the topic feedback
Statens vegvesen provides information about the topics you answered incorrectly, rather than the exact questions. Use those topic areas as the starting point for your review.
Write a short list of the areas that need attention. Beside each one, add what you already noticed in practice: unfamiliar words, an unclear rule or a detail you tend to miss. Avoid spending the whole review trying to reconstruct the exact exam question.
Change one part of your next session
Choose a concrete adjustment for each priority. If pictures caused difficulty, practise describing the image before choosing. If wording was the problem, restate the task in your own words. If a rule was unclear, read the official provision before returning to questions.
Keep the adjustment small enough to carry out. “Study everything again” does not tell you what to do first. A topic and an action give you a manageable starting point.
Look for a better explanation in a new question
Revisit a saved practice question and explain the reason for your answer before opening its feedback. Then try a different question on the same topic. Notice whether you can identify the important detail and apply the relevant explanation there too.
A score is one piece of information. Add your uncertainty notes, the topics you have covered and the explanations you can give independently. Keep unresolved points visible so they have a place in the next session.
Keep the new appointment organised
Once you arrange another test, check the confirmation, journey and required practical details. Keep this administrative list separate from your study priorities so neither gets lost.
- Review the official retake and booking information.
- Choose the most useful topic for the next study session.
- Check a new example after revisiting an old mistake.
- Recheck your appointment details before attending.
