Nebraska Knowledge (Written) Test

To pass this Roadwise simulation, answer at least 20 of 25 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'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.
