Hawaii Class 3 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.

The practice simulation uses a 60-minute countdown. The test clock continues while you are away from the session.

The handbook itself does not state the test format. Hawaii's statewide knowledge test is now administered online via KnowToDrive (k2do-hi.iti4dmv.com), confirmed by HIDOT's own site as 25 questions with a 60-minute limit; in-person testing is still offered at county offices on a limited basis. The official pages found did not publish an exact passing percentage, so 80% (20/25) is used per third-party DMV test-prep corroboration (e.g. driving-tests.org, epermittest.com) and is the customary Hawaii standard; treat the minimum correct-answer count as best-corroborated rather than officially confirmed. No sections are scored separately.
