Understand the Swedish system

For A1, A2 and A, you can't choose English for the normal written theory test. If you need English, you can apply for a test with an interpreter — the examiner reads the questions in Swedish, and the interpreter translates them for you.

After approval, you can't book it online like a normal test — call Trafikverket customer service to book your interpreter slot.

Plan early — interpreter slots are limited, and you may wait weeks or a few months for one. Locations may be limited too; confirm with Trafikverket when booking.

Tip: iKörkort MC runs in your browser, so you can use Chrome's translation to study it in English. It's a third-party site — not official, not affiliated with theRide.

Risk training is usually run in Swedish. Ask the school before you book whether they can support English speakers.

Tip: a live-translation app (like Google Translate's conversation mode) helps you follow along. Ask the instructor directly if something's unclear.

You'll keep meeting the same Swedish words — see the Guide's terminology list for plain-English meanings.

Tip: use your phone's camera translation (like Google Translate's camera mode) to read Swedish forms and signs on the spot.
