The format in this course
North Dakota Class D 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 ND Driver License Manual (2025-2027) does not itself state the knowledge test's question count or passing score. Third-party ND DMV test-prep sources consistently agree on 25 multiple-choice questions with an 80% (20/25) passing score, and no separately-scored sign-only section, so that figure is used here as the best-corroborated value.
