Abstract: This study examines the psychological factors that are expected to influence the performance of candidates during the practical driving test for motor vehicle licensure.While Bulgarian legislation provides detailed technical and procedural regulations, it does not address the psychological preparedness of candidates.Drawing on international practices from Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands, as well as a review of relevant scientific literature and professional observations in Bulgarian conditions, the paper outlines anticipated correlations between test outcomes and variables such as stress, anxiety, and coping strategies.A conceptual framework for psychological training is proposed, focusing on stress management, emotional regulation, and examiner awareness of psychological signals.The presented model is intended for future empirical validation, with the expectation that its implementation could improve candidate performance and inform policy reforms in Bulgaria.
