B.34 correct answers
C.38 correct answers

A.NOK 270
B.NOK 370
C.NOK 480
D.NOK 1,200

A.Until the next working day
B.One week

A.Within 6 months
B.Within 1 year
C.Within 3 years
D.Within 5 years
Explanation: Statens vegvesen states that you must pass the practical driving test within three years of passing the theory test. The five-year validity applies where the theory test is the final test, such as moped and snowmobile, not category C.

A.Category A
B.Category B
C.Category C1E
D.Category D1
Explanation: For category C, Statens vegvesen states that you must have a category B driving licence before taking the theory test. Category C builds on ordinary road competence and then adds heavy-vehicle knowledge.

B.A lorry with maximum authorised mass over 7,500 kg
C.A bus with more than eight passenger seats

A.18 years
B.20 years
C.21 years
D.24 years

A.Only a dictionary
B.A road list marked theory test, calculator, load-calculation scratch sheet, and pen or pencil
C.A mobile phone and route-planning app
D.A complete textbook and instructor notes
Explanation: For lorry categories C and CE, Statens vegvesen says candidates receive a road list marked for the theory test, a calculator, a load-calculation scratch sheet, and writing equipment. This reflects the load, road-list, and weight-calculation content in the C/CE topic list.

Norway Theory Test - Category C: Suggested Study Strategy

1Start with the Statens vegvesen C/CE topic list and mark the areas that do not appear in ordinary category B study: load calculation, road lists, tachograph, chains and heavy-vehicle brakes.
2Memorize the official logistics: 45 questions, 38 correct, 120 minutes, NOK 480 from 1 February 2026, one-week retake wait for category C and three-year theory validity.
3Practise payload and axle-load reasoning with the registration certificate, actual load and road-list limits instead of relying on total weight alone.
4Learn the heavy-vehicle winter equipment numbers: 5 mm winter tread depth for vehicles over 3,500 kg, mandatory winter tyres from 15 November to 31 March, and chain counts for solo lorries and combinations.
5Treat blind spots, off-tracking and vulnerable road users as one topic: many urban lorry risks happen while moving off, turning right or reversing.
6Review tunnel fire procedure and emergency phones, because lorry fires and tunnel incidents require fast decisions with little room for error.
7Connect driving-time and rest rules to real tachograph use: breaks, daily rest, weekly limits and truthful activity records are professional-driver basics.
