Montana MVD Knowledge (Written) Test

To pass this Roadwise simulation, answer at least 27 of 33 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 confirms a written test, vision test, and road test are required (p.11), and that a license receipt allows three testing attempts within one year (p.19), but does not print the exact question count or passing score. No handbook or state-site evidence indicates the test is split into separately scored sections, so the practice test uses one combined score.

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.
