Tennessee Driver License Knowledge Test
This Roadwise course uses a 30-question practice test with 24 correct answers needed to pass. The format can depend on your age, license class, or application type.
The handbook does not state a total question count or numeric passing score itself, only the four 25% topic areas and the 25%-minimum DUI rule; the count (30), pass score (80%/24 correct), and time limit (60 min) come from the official TDOSHS website. No section is scored separately, so the practice test uses one combined score, but content is roughly quartered across signs/signals, safe driving principles, rules of the road, and drugs/alcohol.
