Delaware Class D Knowledge Test

This Roadwise course uses a 32-question practice test with 26 correct answers needed to pass. The format can depend on your age, license class, or application type.

The DMV FAQ page still says 30/24, but it is a stale copy of the license page's pre-2024 wording, so the newer 32/26 is used. Driver Manual (July 2025) gives no count or pass mark and describes no separately scored sign section. Verified 2026-10-25.
