The format in this course
Nevada DMV Written Knowledge 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 itself (the source handbook) does not state the exact number of test questions or passing score, so the official Nevada DMV pages for new teen and adult drivers were used instead; both confirm the same 25-question, 80%-to-pass format. The DMV site lists a 60-minute limit for the online version but no limit for in-person testing, so no countdown is used for this practice format. Nevada does not score any topic area (e.g., signs) separately, so the practice test uses one combined score.
Try a few practice questions
