The format in this course

Mississippi DPS Driver's License Knowledge Exam

To pass this Roadwise simulation, answer at least 24 of 30 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 official Mississippi Driver's Manual explains what the Computerized Exam covers but never states the number of questions or passing score. Two independent, mutually corroborating third-party MS permit-test sites both report 30 questions with 80% (24/30) needed to pass; used here as the best-corroborated figure since dps.ms.gov does not publish the number.
