Minnesota DVS exam simulator
The DVS doesn't publish how many questions its test has, but you need 80% to pass, so the simulator gives you 25 random questions from all 285 of ours with 20 correct to pass. You only see your answers at the end. Pass three in a row and you're ready for the real thing.
25 questions · 20 to pass
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 DVS doesn't publish a time limit for this test, so the clock just shows how long you've taken.
