Idaho ITD DMV exam simulator
Take the knowledge test the way the ITD DMV gives it: 40 questions picked at random from all 275 of ours, 34 correct to pass. You only see your answers at the end. Pass three in a row and you're ready for the real thing.
40 questions · 34 to pass
How the simulator works
- Every attempt draws a new random set of 40 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 ITD DMV doesn't publish a time limit for this test, so the clock just shows how long you've taken.
About the real Idaho ITD DMV test
40-question Class D knowledge test at a county driver's license office; questions come directly from the Driver's Handbook. You can miss up to six questions. Electronic devices, notes and unauthorized interpreters are not allowed in the testing area.
- Languages: English, Arabic, Chinese, Farsi, French, Korean, Russian, Serbo-Croatian, Spanish, Swahili, Vietnamese (written and aural) and American Sign Language (video). A translator may be used only if the language isn't offered or after 3 failed attempts in an offered language.
- Attempts: ITD sets no limit on attempts. Each retest requires a 3-day wait and a new $5 fee.
- If you fail: 3 days after a failed knowledge test; the $5 knowledge test fee must be paid again.
- Fee: $5 per knowledge test (the same for retests)
- Audio or oral test: Audio versions are available in all written languages; ASL by video.
On test day
- Bring the documents on the Idaho what-to-bring list, and check you meet the minimum age (14½ (Driver Training permit, for driver's education); Supervised Instruction Permit after driver training; 17+ may get a Class D Instruction Permit).
- You'll take a vision test first: 20/40 in at least one eye, with or without corrective lenses (lens restriction if glasses/contacts are worn). 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.
