How the Virginia knowledge test works
The written knowledge test has 40 multiple-choice questions, and you need 34 right (85%) to pass. This practice exam uses the same size and pass mark.
Each part must be passed: Traffic signs (10 of 10), General knowledge (24 of 30).
Based on the Virginia Driver's Manual (DMV 39 (April 27, 2026)). Always confirm the current test with the official licensing agency.
How this practice exam works
- Questions are picked at random from the whole handbook, so every exam is different.
- Like the real test, nothing is marked until you submit.
- Jump between questions, flag the ones you're unsure of, and change any answer.
- Then review every answer with its explanation and handbook page.
