Maryland test FAQ
How many questions are on the Maryland knowledge test?
25 questions. You need 22 correct answers (88%) to pass. Confirm the current format with your Maryland licensing agency before your test, because it can change.
Are these the real Maryland DMV test questions?
No. They are practice questions written from the Maryland driver handbook and cover the same topics, but they are not the official questions. USA DMV is not affiliated with any Maryland agency.
