Arizona MVD Pretest

The Pretest

The pretest gives you a good idea of the questions asked on the driver examination. It shows you the most common areas covered on the exam. The result can also indicate any weaknesses and what you should focus on when studying the Arizona MVD Driver’s License Manual and Customer Service Guide.

As a licensed driver, the pretest can serve as a refresher. Driving rules and techniques have changed over the years, and it is easy to become overconfident. Even the most experienced drivers make mistakes. Your attitude and ability to adjust and adapt to changes are good indicators of how safe a driver you really are. As a parent, you should also check your knowledge before instructing your teenager.

Our Arizona MVD Permit Practice Tests make it much easier to pass the real driver examination. You will be familiar with both the questions and the test format.

A: The official knowledge test has 30 questions, just like the practice tests you’ll find on freedmvtest.org.


Q: How many correct answers do you need?

A: To pass, you must get at least 24 questions right. This means you can miss only 6 questions out of 30. Once you reach 24 correct answers, your test is done.

Our practice tests show a score based on all 30 questions, so aim for a result of 28–30 correct answers. It gives you a good safety margin.


Q: If you fail, when can you retake the written test?

A: Should you fail the written test, you can try again the next business day. However, it’s a good idea to give it a few days and study the manual and take the practice tests again. Try to remember which areas you found difficult and focus on those.


Q: How many times are you allowed to fail the test?

A: You can make three attempts to pass the knowledge examination within a 12-month period. If 12 months pass, or if you fail three attempts, you must start over. You must fill out a new application and pay the license fee again.


Q: Are there any trick questions on the test?

A: No, there are no trick questions. All answers are found in the Driver’s License Manual, and you will recognize the phrases used. Once you’ve taken the practice tests at Free DMV Test, the real examination will be easy.
