Idaho Class D Knowledge Test

This Roadwise course uses a 40-question practice test with 34 correct answers needed to pass. The format can depend on your age, license class, or application type.

The handbook does not split the test into separately-scored sections (e.g. signs vs. rules), so the practice test uses one combined score. 34/40 correct = 85% is the minimum passing score implied by 'miss up to 6'. Applies to the noncommercial Class D knowledge test; motorcycle and CDL endorsement knowledge tests are scored separately per the Motorcycle/CDL manuals, not covered here.
