50 questions · 40 to pass
How the simulator works
- Every attempt draws a new random set of 50 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 FLHSMV doesn't publish a time limit for this test, so the clock just shows how long you've taken.

On test day
- Bring the documents on the Florida what-to-bring list, and check you meet the minimum age (15).
- You'll take a vision test first: 20/40 or better in each eye (with or without corrective lenses) meets the standard without referral; 20/50 or worse in either eye is referred to an eye specialist; 20/70 in either eye or both eyes together may pass after referral if the worse eye is better than 20/200; if one eye is blind or 20/200 or worse, the other eye must be 20/40 or better. Minimum field of vision 130 degrees. Telescopic lenses are not recognized. Applicants also take a hearing screening. 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.
