Delaware DMV is administered by the Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV), headquartered in Dover. The official Delaware written knowledge exam has 30 questions, and drivers must answer 24 correctly (80%) to pass. Our practice tests match the exact format, topics, and difficulty of the real Delaware DMV test.
What makes the Delaware DMV test unique?
Delaware's exam focuses on school-bus stop protocols (one of the strictest in the country), work-zone safety on I-95, and coastal flooding advisories.
Failing to stop for a school bus with flashing red lights is a $100-$300 fine plus a mandatory court appearance on a first offense.
Review the merging and lane-change chapters — I-95 and Route 1 scenarios appear frequently.
