Mississippi test FAQ

How many questions are on the Mississippi knowledge test?

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

Are these the real Mississippi DMV test questions?

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