Nebraska Knowledge (Written) Test

This Roadwise course uses a 25-question practice test with 20 correct answers needed to pass. The format can depend on your age, license class, or application type.

The handbook's own 39-question 'Practice Exam' (p.84-85, provided by AAA Nebraska) explicitly states it does not reflect the real test. The actual written knowledge test is 25 questions with a minimum 80% (20 correct) passing score, per DMV examiner policy; there is no separate signs-only section, so the practice test uses one combined score.
