What's on the test

The questions come from the Oklahoma Driver Manual. They cover these areas; each links to free practice questions on it:

A study plan in five steps

  1. Read the Oklahoma Driver Manual

    Everything on the test is in it. Read it chapter by chapter, slowly, and come back to the parts you find hard:

    • How to Apply for Your Oklahoma Driver License
    • Your Driver License Restrictions and Renewals
    • Requirements for Oklahoma Drivers
    • Signs
    • Traffic Signals and Pavement Markings
    • Right-of-Way: When to Yield
    • Lane Usage and Maneuvers
    • The Basic Speed Rule
    • Stopping and Following
    • Parking
    • Sharing the Road: Pedestrians, Bicycles, Motorcycles and Trucks
    • Sharing the Road: Trucks, Trains and Slow-Moving Vehicles
    • Driving Tips
    • Alcohol, Drugs and Driving
    • Violations and Penalties

  2. Practice one topic at a time

    After each chapter, practice that topic. You see the right answer and why straight away, with the handbook page to reread.

  3. Learn the road signs

    Signs are quick points once you know them by shape and color. Study the signs one at a time, then test yourself on 20.

  4. Fix your weak spots

    Your practice results are saved on your device. Practice my weak spots builds a round from the topics you miss most.

  5. Take the full practice exam

    The full exam works like the real one: 20 questions, 15 to pass, no answers until the end. Keep going until you pass comfortably several times in a row, then review every question you missed.

Before test day

Permit at 15 with driver education

With an approved driver education course (school, commercial or parent-taught) you can get a learner permit at 15; without one, at 16. (Oklahoma Driver Manual, p. 6)

20 questions, 15 to pass

Service Oklahoma's written test has 20 questions and you need 15 right. You can take it online with a webcam (60 minutes, two tries) or at a Service Oklahoma location. (Service Oklahoma: Written Knowledge Test)

180 days on the permit

Teens hold the learner permit for at least 180 days, with a licensed driver 21 or older beside them, before the drive test for an intermediate license. (Oklahoma Driver Manual, p. 6)

Intermediate license limits

The graduated license allows driving from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. (except for school, church or work, or with a licensed driver 21+) and one passenger unless all live in your home. (Oklahoma Driver Manual, p. 14)

Three-second following rule

Oklahoma teaches three seconds behind the vehicle ahead, or a car length for every 10 mph, and four seconds in bad weather. (Oklahoma Driver Manual, p. 44)

Move Over law

For any stopped vehicle with flashing lights at the roadside, move to a lane that isn't next to it if you safely can, or slow down and drive carefully. (Oklahoma Driver Manual, p. 30)
