How to use the driver written test pass checker

State DMV knowledge tests differ in length and in the share of correct answers they ask for, so this checker takes the question count and the passing score from your own state's handbook rather than assuming one national rule. Enter your score as a percentage and it compares that score with the passing score you supplied.

The result is a pass when your score is at or above the passing score. The margin is shown in percentage points, and the correct-answer count is rounded up so that the rounded figure still clears the passing score. Questions you may miss is the remainder of the question count.

This page does not estimate which questions appear on your test, does not store anything you type, and does not judge road-test readiness. If your state weights items unequally, read the percentage comparison only and ignore the question counts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the passing score the same in every state?

No. Each state sets its own passing score and question count, so take both numbers from your own state driver handbook or online practice portal.

What happens if my score is exactly the passing score?

It counts as a pass. With an 80% passing score, 80% passes and 79% does not, because the comparison uses "at or above".

Why does the tool assume every question is worth the same?

Most state knowledge tests score items equally, so the correct-answer count is derived that way. If your test weights items differently, use the percentage result only.
