How the simulator works
- Every attempt draws a new random set of 25 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 KDOR Division of Vehicles doesn't publish a time limit for this test, so the clock just shows how long you've taken.
About the real Kansas KDOR Division of Vehicles test
25 multiple-choice questions on traffic signs, pavement markings, Kansas laws and driving practices, including identifying signs by shape, color or symbol. The test is not timed (it usually takes 15-20 minutes). Take it at a full-service driver license office, through an approved driver's education course (DE-99 completion slip), or online through KnowToDrive.
- Languages: The online KnowToDrive test (KDOR's official online exam) is offered in English or Spanish. A Spanish handbook is available. Ask KDOR which languages the office test is offered in.
- Attempts: Four chances to pass; after the fourth failure, wait at least six months from the most recent failed exam.
- If you fail: Next working day. Re-exams within 6 months of the last exam cost $1.50; after 6 months a $3.00 abandonment fee is charged instead.
- Fee: $3 test fee on the first attempt (part of the new-license total; no test fee if you use a driver's education form). $1.50 per re-exam within 6 months.
- Audio or oral test: The online KnowToDrive test has audio playback.
On test day
- Bring the documents on the Kansas what-to-bring list, and check you meet the minimum age (14).
- You'll take a vision test first: At least 20/40 in one eye, with or without corrective lenses, when screened at the driver license station. Applicants who fail must have a licensed ophthalmologist or optometrist complete the Driver Licensing eye examination form (DV-124V); reports must be within 90 days. 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.
