Utah DLD exam simulator

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 DLD doesn't publish a time limit for this test, so the clock just shows how long you've taken.
The real test differs by age: Never licensed (learner permit): 50 questions, 40 to pass; Previously licensed (out-of-state/country license): 25 questions, 20 to pass. The simulator uses the main format.

On test day
- Bring the documents on the Utah what-to-bring list, and check you meet the minimum age (15).
- You'll take a vision test first: 20/40 in at least one eye and a visual field of at least 90 degrees for Class D; applicants older than 65 must pass a vision test. 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".
