Arkansas Knowledge Exam

This Roadwise course uses a 25-question practice test with 20 correct answers needed to pass. The format can depend on your age, license class, or application type.

The AR handbook (the source handbook) never states the written test's question count or passing score. This figure is corroborated across multiple third-party AR DMV prep sources built on the official handbook (driving-tests.org, dmv-permit-test.com): 25 multiple-choice questions, 20 correct (80%) needed to pass. No separately scored sections (e.g. a standalone signs test) are indicated anywhere.
