The format in this course
Idaho Class D Knowledge Test
To pass this Roadwise simulation, answer at least 34 of 40 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 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.
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.
