Colorado Driving Knowledge Test
To pass this Roadwise simulation, answer at least 20 of 25 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.
This Roadwise practice format has no countdown, so you can take the time you need.
The CO Driver Handbook (DR 2337) states the written test covers signs, DUI, driving rules, safety, and legal items, but does not itself state the question count or passing score. The official Colorado DMV site (dmv.colorado.gov) could not be checked directly for these figures, so this uses the most consistently corroborated figure across several independent CO permit-test prep sites: 25 questions, 80% (20/25) to pass. No source indicates CO scores a signs section separately, so the practice test uses one combined score.
