DMV Question BankHow to Pass the Washington State DOL Knowledge Test (2026)
Washington’s knowledge exam contains 40 multiple-choice questions, and you need 32 correct (80%). Questions draw from the official Driver Guide and cover rules of the road, signs, safe driving, DUI and cannabis, emergencies and licensing responsibilities.
Teen drivers should master Washington’s phased licensing rules: hold the permit at least 6 months, complete 40 daytime plus 10 nighttime hours, and learn the intermediate-license passenger, 1–5 a.m. and wireless-device restrictions. Weather, mountain roads, ferries, pedestrians, bicycles and low-visibility driving make Washington preparation especially state-specific.
Work through road rules, defensive driving, DUI and driver fitness, weather and emergencies, and signs and markings, then use the 40-question simulator and Washington Driver Guide.
