Delaware test FAQ

How many questions are on the Delaware knowledge test?

30 questions. You need 24 correct answers (80%) to pass. Confirm the current format with your Delaware licensing agency before your test, because it can change.

Are these the real Delaware DMV test questions?

How should I study?

Take the readiness check first to see your level. Read the handbook sections for the topics you missed, then take both free practice tests and read every explanation you got wrong. When you pass them comfortably, rehearse with a full-length timed exam in the app.
