How long is the driving theory test in Sweden?

Short answer
The car theory test lasts 50 minutes and has 70 questions, and you pass with 52 points or more, according to Trafikverket. People with reading difficulties or other needs can apply for extended time of 75 minutes, and tests with an interpreter have a longer test time.
Why
- According to Trafikverket, the category B theory test has 70 questions, each with one correct answer.
- According to Trafikverket, the test time for category B is 50 minutes, and 52 points or more means a pass.

Details
The regular test time is also 50 minutes for AM, A1, A2, A and tractor, while BE and the heavy categories have 40 minutes. Your photo is taken before the theory test and ends up on the licence. For more on the steps to a licence, see driving and traffic rules in Sweden and driving schools in Stockholm.
Tip
Arrive at least 30 minutes before the test, because the photo is taken first, and bring a physical, valid ID document.
