Since 1990, the Department of Educational Measurement at Umeå University has been commissioned to study the Swedish drivinglicense test by the Swedish National Road Administration, SNRA. Over the past few years several studies have been conducted in order to develop and improve the Swedish driving-license test. The focus of the majority of the studies has been the theory test. The aims of this paper were threefold: firstly to describe the development of the driver education and the driving-license test in Sweden during the past century; secondly, to summarize the findings of our research, which is related to important issues in test development; and finally, to make some suggestions for further research.
