Washington driving practice tests

The real test

• 40 questions, 32 correct to pass. No section split and no published time limit.
• The Driver Guide itself never states the question count or the pass mark - only the DOL website does. Studying the handbook alone, you would never meet these numbers.
• A passing score stays valid for two years, and the test is offered in twelve languages.

Read the official handbook

This is the source everything on the real test comes from, and it is free. Practice questions find your gaps; the handbook fills them. Read it on the government's own site so you get the current version.

Watch out for

Rules that catch people out in Washington specifically.

• Permit and intermediate licence holders cannot use a phone at all - hands-free included, unlike every other driver in the state.
• There is no Washington wipers-on-headlights-on law. The guide offers it as a memory aid; the actual trigger is half an hour after sunset and the 1,000-foot visibility rule.
• Yield when you pull onto a paved road from an unpaved one, and treat a dark signal as a four-way stop.

Finish a set and we'll start tracking how ready you are.
