The format in this course
Delaware Class D Knowledge Test
To pass this Roadwise simulation, answer at least 26 of 32 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 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.
