Mississippi DPS Driver Service Bureau exam simulator
The DPS Driver Service Bureau doesn't publish how many questions its test has, so the simulator gives you 25 random questions from all 268 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 DPS Driver Service Bureau doesn't publish a time limit for this test, so the clock just shows how long you've taken.
