Connecticut DMV 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 handbook does not state a time limit or separately-scored sections (e.g., a standalone signs test), so the practice test uses one combined score and no countdown is used for this practice format. The manual notes the test is based entirely on the manual's content and that sample tests are available on the DMV mobile app.

Try a few practice questions

Read the question, decide on an answer, then open it to check the explanation. These are Roadwise study questions based on the source handbook.
