Alaska General Knowledge Test

To pass this Roadwise simulation, answer at least 16 of 20 questions correctly. Answers and explanations appear after you finish. Unanswered questions count as incorrect.

This practice format uses one overall passing threshold, without a separately scored sign section.

The practice simulation uses a 25-minute countdown. The test clock continues while you are away from the session.

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.

Try a few practice questions
