Frequently Asked Questions About the Danish Theory Test

Yes. The Danish theory test (teoriprøve) is available in English at all digital test centres run by the Danish Road Traffic Authority (Færdselsstyrelsen). You choose your language when you start the test on the touchscreen computer.

The test consists of 25 scenarios (images or short videos). Each scenario has 2–4 yes/no sub-questions, making the total number of individual answers around 70–80. You have 25 minutes to complete all scenarios.

You can have a maximum of 5 incorrect answers across all sub-questions. If you get 6 or more wrong, you fail.

The test fee is 600 DKK per attempt. If you fail and need to retake, you pay 600 DKK again.

Fully digital. You take it on a touchscreen computer at a Færdselsstyrelsen test centre. Scenarios use images and 3D videos, and you tap yes/no for each sub-question.

The main topics are: right of way (vigepligt), traffic signs and road markings, speed limits, roundabouts, hazard awareness, vehicle knowledge, first aid basics, and environmental driving. See our complete study guide for detailed breakdowns.

Yes, there is no limit on retakes. You must pay the 600 DKK fee each time and book a new appointment. Depending on your test centre, rebooking may take days to weeks.

Yes. You must be enrolled at an approved Danish driving school (køreskole). Your school registers you for the test — you cannot book it independently.

Right of way (vigepligt) questions are the most commonly failed topic. People who've driven in other countries often get confused by Danish-specific rules, especially the right-hand rule and the obligation to check for cyclists when turning right.
