1For a first-time Portugal Category A1 candidate, what is the official theory-test format?

A.10 questions in 10 minutes

B.20 questions in 25 minutes

C.30 questions in 30 minutes

D.40 questions in 40 minutes

Explanation: RHLC Article 43 sets the standard A1/A2/A theory test at 40 questions, and Article 46 gives that test 40 minutes. The 10-question route is only for eligible B1/B holders requesting A categories. This is why the correct answer is "40 questions in 40 minutes".

2How many correct answers are needed to pass the standard 40-question Category A1 theory test?

A.32 correct answers

B.34 correct answers

C.36 correct answers

D.38 correct answers

Explanation: RHLC Article 47 requires at least 36 correct answers on a 40-question theory test. A standard A1 candidate can therefore miss no more than four questions. This is why the correct answer is "36 correct answers".

3Which statement describes the standard A1 theory-test content split?

A.All 40 questions are about road signs only

B.30 common road-code questions and 10 A-category specific questions

C.20 car questions and 20 motorcycle questions

D.Each driving school chooses the split

Explanation: RHLC Article 43 sets 30 common provisions questions plus 10 questions on A-category specific provisions. The split is legal, not a school preference. This is why the correct answer is "30 common road-code questions and 10 A-category specific questions".

4What theory-test fee does IMT list for motorcycle licensing?

A.10 EUR

B.15 EUR

C.30 EUR

D.Not published by IMT

Explanation: IMT lists the motorcycle Prova teorica fee as 15 EUR. The learning licence, practical test and licence issue fees are separate. This is why the correct answer is "15 EUR".

5A Category A1 motorcycle may have a cylinder capacity no higher than which value?

A.50 cm3

B.125 cm3

C.250 cm3

D.500 cm3

Explanation: IMT defines A1 motorcycles as not exceeding 125 cm3, with separate power and power-to-weight limits. A larger engine capacity is outside A1 motorcycle scope. This is why the correct answer is "125 cm3".

6What is the maximum nominal power for a Category A1 motorcycle?

A.4 kW

B.11 kW

C.15 kW

D.35 kW

Explanation: The A1 motorcycle power limit is 11 kW. The 15 kW figure belongs to A1 tricycles and the 35 kW figure belongs to A2. This is why the correct answer is "11 kW".

7Which power-to-weight limit applies to a Category A1 motorcycle?

A.Not more than 0.1 kW/kg

B.Not more than 0.2 kW/kg

C.Not more than 0.5 kW/kg

D.No power-to-weight rule applies

Explanation: A1 motorcycles must not exceed 0.1 kW/kg. Capacity and power are not enough by themselves; all A1 numeric limits must be satisfied. This is why the correct answer is "Not more than 0.1 kW/kg".

8What is the maximum nominal power for a tricycle covered by Category A1?

A.4 kW

B.11 kW

C.15 kW

D.35 kW

Explanation: IMT category descriptions place tricycles up to 15 kW in Category A1. This is a different figure from the 11 kW motorcycle limit. This is why the correct answer is "15 kW".

9What minimum age does IMT state for applying for Category A1?

A.14 years old

B.16 years old

C.18 years old

D.21 years old

Explanation: IMT states that a Category A1 applicant must be at least 16. Candidates under 18 also need written authorization from the person exercising parental authority. This is why the correct answer is "16 years old".

10If a Category A1 candidate is under 18, what extra authorization does IMT require?

A.Written authorization from the person exercising parental authority

B.Two years of Category A2 experience

C.A taxi-driver certificate

D.No extra authorization for minors

Explanation: IMT requires written parental authorization for A1 candidates who have not reached 18. That is in addition to the ordinary application documents. This is why the correct answer is "Written authorization from the person exercising parental authority".
