What to expect on the real North Carolina test

Questions based on the N.C. Driver Handbook and North Carolina traffic law, with a plain-English explanation after every answer. The real knowledge test covers traffic laws and safe driving, and you need 80% to pass. There's also a road sign test: identify signs by color and shape (9 of 12 for a regular license), and a vision test. Tests are offered in several languages, and oral tests on request.

Our quizzes use original practice questions. Question wording, delivery and timing can differ from the official exam.

Practice questions are written by DMV Steps from the N.C. Driver Handbook. They are not the official test questions.
