About the Texas knowledge test

How many questions are on the Texas written test?

The Texas knowledge test is 30 questions and you need 21 correct (70%) to pass. It's drawn from the Texas Driver Handbook (DPS) — traffic laws, signs, and Texas rules like 85 mph zones and the Move Over law.

Are these the exact test questions?

The state does not publish its full question pool. We author these practice questions from the same official source the real test uses — the Texas Driver Handbook (Texas DPS) — with each grounded in a specific handbook rule. Traffic laws are facts, not copyrightable.

Does it cost anything or need an account?

It is completely free and no signup is required. Sign in only to save your history and see weak areas.

What topics are covered?

Traffic laws and right-of-way, road signs and signals, safe-driving practices, alcohol/drugs and penalties, sharing the road, and parking/vehicle rules.

What if I fail?

Fail the Texas DPS test and you can retake it — check your application for how many attempts it allows. Keep running full 30-question simulations here until you're scoring 25+ comfortably.
