The B licence test: the full syllabus turned into practice 🚗
Quick answer: The B licence test assesses the entire official syllabus: traffic rules (priorities, speeds, manoeuvres), signs, road safety (alcohol, sleep, distances), documents, basic mechanics and first aid — spread across 30 questions with a 3-mistake maximum. The proven way to master it: official-format mocks + mistake review + topic reinforcement. The first 4 B licence tests are free on TraficoTest, every question explained.
The B exam doesn't ask «a bit of everything» at random: it has a closed syllabus with fairly stable proportions. Knowing that map changes your preparation — you know where questions cluster, which topics are statistical traps and where to invest the hours. Topic by topic:
The B syllabus and its real weight in tests 📚
| Topic | What it includes | Exam weight |
|---|---|---|
| Traffic rules | The giant block: priorities, speeds, overtaking, stopping and parking | High — with the most «logic» questions |
| Signs | All families, shown as real photos in the exam | High — pure trainable recognition |
| Road safety | Alcohol, sleep, distractions, safety distances | Medium-high — home of the number traps |
| Documents and sanctions | Licence, registration certificate, ITV, points | Medium |
| Mechanics and maintenance | Tyres, lights, fluids, emissions | Low-medium — highly repetitive questions |
| First aid | PAS protocol, CPR, casualties | Low — near-free points if studied |
Hard figures — speeds, alcohol limits, distances, deadlines — concentrate a disproportionate share of mistakes: they deserve their own crib sheet and topic sessions until they come out automatically.
From syllabus to pass: the method 🎯
- Diagnostic mock before studying: your initial per-topic photo.
- Daily cycle: weak topic → topic test → full mock.
- Mistakes are your personalised syllabus: review each immediately with its explanation.
- Close with the most-failed questions: master the hard ones and the normal ones fall by themselves.
- Book on statistical green light: several consecutive mocks at 0-2 mistakes.

The B licence test is mastered like any closed syllabus: a clear map, practice in the real format and mistakes converted into a study plan. The whole circuit — mocks, topics, statistics and explanations — lives on TraficoTest, starting with 4 free exams. The B is earned with method, not luck.
