Indiana DMV is administered by the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV), headquartered in Indianapolis. The official Indiana written knowledge exam has 50 questions, and drivers must answer 42 correctly (84%) to pass. Our practice tests match the exact format, topics, and difficulty of the real Indiana DMV test.
What makes the Indiana DMV test unique?
Indiana's 50-question exam with an 84% passing threshold (42 correct) is among the toughest in the Midwest, with heavy emphasis on work-zone speed limits and I-65/I-70 truck traffic.
Worker-present work-zone fines are doubled in Indiana — a 10-mph violation can exceed $1,000.
Only 8 mistakes allowed — practice until you're consistently above 90%.
