30 questions · 24 to pass
How the simulator works
- Every attempt draws a new random set of 30 questions from across the handbook.
- No feedback until you finish, as in the real test. Then you see your score and every question you missed, with the explanation and handbook reference.
- Your results stay in this browser. After three passes in a row you'll see "You're ready".
- The MVD doesn't publish a time limit for this test, so the clock just shows how long you've taken.
Before the road test you must show that you understand Arizona traffic signs and can respond to directions in English. There is no separate scored signs test.

On test day
- Bring the documents on the Arizona what-to-bring list, and check you meet the minimum age (15½ (graduated or motorcycle instruction permit); 18 for an operator (Class D) permit).
- You'll take a vision test first: Uncorrected vision of 20/40 or better in at least one eye for an unrestricted license; those who need glasses or contacts to meet it get a 'B' restriction (corrective lenses required). A visual field test is also given. Bring your glasses or contacts if you wear them.
- Read each question and every answer to the end before choosing; watch for words like "not" and "except".
- Review the hardest questions the night before: exact numbers are where most points are lost.
