Oregon Class C Knowledge Test

This Roadwise course uses a 35-question practice test with 28 correct answers needed to pass. The format can depend on your age, license class, or application type.

The handbook does not mention a time limit or separately-scored sections (e.g. a standalone signs test), so the practice test uses one combined score and no countdown is used for this practice format. 28/35 = 80% passing score.
