What Is the DMV Written Test?

1. Learn what your knowledge test measures

Start by understanding what you're up against. Your DMV written test — sometimes called the knowledge test — measures how well you know your state's driving rules. Every question comes from your state's official driver's handbook. Expect questions on road signs, speed limits, right-of-way, and safe driving habits.

Treat the handbook as your source of truth. If a practice question conflicts with it, trust the handbook. Open your state's driver's handbook and read it cover to cover before you touch a practice test.

Want to preview the question style first? Try a quick state-specific practice test to see what you'll face.

2. Understand the typical test format

Expect a multiple-choice format in most states. Pick one correct answer from three or four options. Many DMV offices now give the test on a computer touchscreen. Some offices still offer paper versions. A few states provide audio or translated tests for applicants who need them.

Check your state's DMV website to confirm whether an online option exists. The format might feel unfamiliar at first. Take 2–3 full practice rounds and you'll know exactly how the questions are worded. Repetition turns the format into something predictable — and stay calm, because every round makes you sharper.

3. Separate the written test from the road test

Know the difference early so you study the right material. The written test checks what you know. The road test checks how you drive. You usually must pass the written test first before you earn a learner's permit or schedule a road test.

Follow this order in most states:

1. Study the handbook.
2. Pass the written (knowledge) test.
3. Get your learner's permit.
4. Practice driving with a licensed adult.
5. Pass the road test.
6. Receive your full license.

Studying for a learner's permit? Head to the permit practice test page for targeted questions. For sign recognition drills, check the road signs guide. Don't stress about the road test yet — focus on the written test first, and you can prepare for driving skills after you pass.

Slow down in work zones. Many states impose higher fines for speeding in active work zones. Check your state's handbook for the exact penalty.

Q40. The most common cause of crashes among new drivers is: A) Mechanical failure B) Bad weather C) Distracted driving D) Road construction Answer: C. Distracted driving — texting, eating, adjusting the radio — causes more crashes among new drivers than any other factor. Put your phone away before you start the car.

Q41. If your brakes fail while driving, you should first: A) Turn off the engine B) Pump the brake pedal rapidly C) Shift to a higher gear D) Open the door to slow down Answer: B. Pump the brakes rapidly to build pressure. If that doesn't work, use the parking brake gradually and look for a safe place to stop.

Q42. When driving in fog, use: A) High beams B) Low beams C) Parking lights only D) No lights Answer: B. Use low beams in fog. High beams reflect off the moisture and make visibility worse.

Q43. A space cushion means: A) The airbag in your steering wheel B) Keeping safe distance on all sides of your vehicle C) The gap between parked cars D) The distance between highway lanes Answer: B. A space cushion is open space around your vehicle in every direction. It gives you room to react if something unexpected happens.

Q47. If your tire blows out while driving, you should: A) Slam the brakes B) Grip the steering wheel firmly and ease off the gas C) Swerve to the shoulder immediately D) Accelerate to stabilize Answer: B. Grip the wheel firmly and take your foot off the gas. Let the car slow down on its own, then steer gently to the shoulder. Stay calm — sudden moves make it worse.

Q48. The safest way to handle a tailgater behind you is to: A) Brake suddenly to warn them B) Speed up to create distance C) Move to another lane or gently slow down to let them pass D) Ignore them completely Answer: C. Change lanes when it's safe, or ease off the gas to encourage the tailgater to pass. Don't brake-check — it puts both of you at risk.

Q49. Before backing up, you should: A) Rely only on your mirrors B) Turn your head and look behind you C) Honk your horn three times D) Roll down your window and listen Answer: B. Turn your head and look behind you before and while backing up. Mirrors have blind spots. Check for children, pets, and obstacles.

What Topics Does the DMV Practice Test Cover?

1. Identify the four main topic areas

Every state DMV test pulls from four core areas. Know them so you can organize your study sessions:

• Road signs — shapes, colors, and required actions.
• Traffic laws — speed limits, lane markings, turning rules, and passing.
• Right-of-way — who goes first at intersections, crosswalks, and merge points.
• Safe driving practices — following distance, hazard response, and impaired driving.

Review the 50 questions above and sort your wrong answers into these four buckets. Spend extra time on the bucket where you missed the most.

2. Match each topic to your handbook chapters

Open your state's driver's handbook and find the chapter that covers each topic area. Most handbooks follow a similar order: signs first, then traffic laws, then right-of-way, then safe driving. Bookmark those chapters. Study one chapter per day for four days, then take a full practice test on day five. This schedule gives you focused review without burnout.

7 Strategies That Improve Your Odds on the DMV Written Test

1. Study 15 minutes a day for 14 days

Cramming the night before doesn't work for most people. Spread your study over two weeks. Set a timer for 15 minutes each day and focus on one topic area per session. Short, consistent sessions help you remember more than one long marathon. By day 14, you'll have logged over 3 hours of focused review.

2. Read your state's driver's handbook cover to cover

Download or pick up a free copy from your local DMV office. Read it once for the big picture. Then read it again with a highlighter. Pay extra attention to sections on signs, right-of-way, and penalties. Your test questions come directly from this book. Treat it as your primary study material, not a backup. Find your handbook at the driver's handbook page.

3. Take at least 3 full-length practice tests

One practice test shows you the format. Three practice tests show you your weak spots. After each test, write down every question you missed. Review those questions before your next attempt. Aim to score above your state's passing threshold on 3 tests in a row before you book your real appointment. Start a full practice test here.

4. Focus extra time on road signs

Sign questions are some of the easiest points on the test — if you study them. Memorize the shape-color-action pattern for each sign type. Use flashcards or the spec-sheet format from the questions above. Drill yourself until you can name any sign in under 3 seconds. Visit the road signs and meanings guide for a full visual reference.

5. Eliminate wrong answers first

When you're stuck on a question, cross out the answers you know are wrong. Most DMV questions have one or two obviously incorrect options. Removing those improves your odds even when you're unsure. This test-taking strategy works on multiple-choice exams of all kinds.

6. Simulate real test conditions

Take at least one practice test without notes, in a quiet room, with a timer. Match the number of questions and time limit your state allows. For example, Kansas gives you 1 hour for 25 questions (KS DOR). Simulating real conditions reduces surprises on test day and builds your confidence.

7. Review missed questions the morning of your test

Keep a list of every question you missed during practice. On the morning of your test, read through that list one more time. Don't try to learn new material — just refresh the tricky spots. Walk into the DMV with those answers fresh in your mind. You've already done the hard work.

Common Mistakes That Cause DMV Test Failure

1. Skip the handbook and rely only on practice tests

Practice tests are a study tool, not a replacement for the handbook. Some questions on the real exam cover details that don't appear in any practice test. Read the handbook first, then use practice tests to check your understanding. Don't shortcut this step.

2. Memorize answers instead of understanding rules

The real test may word questions differently than your practice tests. If you only memorize answer patterns, a rephrased question can throw you off. Focus on understanding why each answer is correct. When you know the rule behind the answer, the wording doesn't matter.

3. Ignore right-of-way and sign questions

These two categories make up a large share of most state exams. Many test-takers study traffic laws but skip signs and right-of-way. Don't make that mistake. Drill both categories until you can answer them without hesitation. Check the permit practice test for extra right-of-way questions.

4. Rush through the test

You have more time than you think. Read each question twice before you pick an answer. Look for keywords like "always," "never," and "except" — they change the meaning of the question. Take a breath between questions. Rushing leads to careless errors that cost you points.

5. Study outdated material

Laws change. Make sure your handbook and practice tests are current. Download the latest version of your state's handbook from the official DMV website. Old handbooks may list outdated rules or fees. Check the driver's handbook page for links to the latest editions.

What to Expect on Test Day

1. Bring the right documents

Check your state's DMV website for the exact document list. Most states require proof of identity, proof of residency, and your Social Security number. Some states require a REAL ID-compliant document. Bring originals, not copies. Missing a document means you'll have to reschedule.

2. Arrive early and expect a wait

Plan to arrive 15–30 minutes before your appointment. DMV offices can be busy, and check-in takes time. Bring your study notes to review while you wait. Some offices let you schedule appointments online — check your state's DMV site to save time. Use the state DMV guide to find your local office.

3. Know the test format before you sit down

Most states use a computer touchscreen. A few still offer paper tests. Some states offer the test in multiple languages or with audio assistance. Confirm the format on your state's DMV website so nothing surprises you. If you've taken 3 or more practice tests, the format will feel familiar.

4. Stay calm if you don't know an answer

Skip tough questions and come back to them if your state's system allows it. Eliminate wrong answers first, then make your best choice. One missed question won't fail you. Most states let you miss several questions and still pass. Breathe, focus, and trust your preparation.

5. Understand what happens if you don't pass

Failing isn't the end. Most states let you retake the test after a short waiting period. For example, Kansas allows up to 4 attempts within 6 months (KS DOR). Check your state's retake policy, review the questions you missed, and try again. Each attempt teaches you something new.

FAQ: DMV Practice Test and Written Test

How many questions are on the DMV written test?

It depends on your state. Counts range from 18 to 50 questions. Check the 14-state table above or visit your state's official DMV website for the exact number.

What score do I need to pass the DMV test?

Passing scores range from 70% to 83% depending on your state. Look up your state in the table above and confirm on the official .gov site before your test.

Can I take the DMV written test online?

Some states offer online testing. Kansas, for example, allows online exams with a 1-hour time limit (KS DOR). Check your state's DMV website to see if online testing is available where you live.

How many times can I retake the DMV test?

Retake policies vary. Kansas allows 4 attempts within 6 months; after that, you must wait 6 months before trying again (KS DOR). Other states have different limits. Check your state's official DMV site for the retake rules that apply to you.

Is the DMV practice test the same as the real test?

No. Practice tests use similar question styles and topics, but the exact questions differ. Think of practice tests as training rounds. They prepare you for the format and content, but the real test will have different wording. Study the handbook alongside your practice tests for the best results.

Do I need to pass a vision test too?

Yes. Most states require a vision screening when you apply for a license or permit. Kansas requires a vision test for all driver's license and permit applicants (KS DOR). Check your state's requirements so you're not caught off guard.

Conclusion

You now have 50 practice questions, a 14-state reference table, and a clear study plan. Spend 15 minutes a day for two weeks, read your state's handbook, and take at least 3 full practice tests before your appointment. These steps improve your odds and cut down on surprises at the DMV.
