United States

Rules and guides

6 topic pages cover what a US knowledge test asks wherever you take it, and the state pages under them cover what changes at the state line. Every count on a card is read straight from the sign data or the question bank behind that page.

Road signs

MUTCD

136 signs in 6 groups, 40 of them regulatory, each with its federal code and the sign it gets mistaken for.

Right of way

Rules

The intersection cases tests actually ask about, and the 13 shared bank questions that turn on them.

Car permit

Class D

3 indexable car papers in each of the 3 states covered, with that state's own question count and pass mark.

Motorcycle

Endorsement

25 shared questions across 5 technique areas, plus the helmet and permit rules that are set state by state.

CDL

49 CFR

30 general knowledge questions, 25 on air brakes and 25 on combination vehicles, all against one federal rulebook.

Which test do I need

Compare

Work out which paper applies to you, then compare all 7 papers per state side by side.

Signs and commercial rules are federal, so they are written once. Permit ages, helmet law, alcohol thresholds and retake rules are not, so they live on a state page instead.

State rules pages

Each state page carries that state’s published test format, attributed and dated, alongside its permit age, supervised driving hours and retake rule.

Starting from nothing, read the signs page, then right of way, then your own state. Retaking, take a test first and read only the topic that came back weakest. Browse the practice tests or read who writes these.
