Utah Written Knowledge Test

This Roadwise course uses a 50-question practice test with 40 correct answers needed to pass. The format can depend on your age, license class, or application type.

The handbook (p.32) states the pass score is 80% but does not give a question count. The official DLD site states the written test is a closed-book 50-question test for applicants never licensed before, or an open-book 25-question test for previously licensed applicants; this exam uses the standard 50-question/40-correct format. The test is untimed (30-45 min typical) and allows 3 attempts per fee within 12 months. First-time applicants also face a separate, 100%-required Traffic Safety and Trends exam (handbook p.32) not reflected in this question count. Utah does not score sections separately, so the practice test uses one combined score.
