Alaska General Knowledge Test

This Roadwise course uses a 20-question practice test with 16 correct answers needed to pass. The format can depend on your age, license class, or application type.

The handbook itself (the source handbook) does not state the test format, so this was confirmed from the official Alaska DMV website. No separate sign-recognition section is scored independently, so the practice test uses one combined score.
