Idaho test FAQ

How many questions are on the Idaho knowledge test?

40 questions. You need 34 correct answers (85%) to pass. Confirm the current format with your Idaho licensing agency before your test, because it can change.

Are these the real Idaho DMV test questions?

No. They are practice questions written from the Idaho driver handbook and cover the same topics, but they are not the official questions. USA DMV is not affiliated with any Idaho agency.

How should I study?
