Maryland DMV is administered by the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA), headquartered in Annapolis. The official Maryland written knowledge exam has 25 questions, and drivers must answer 22 correctly (88%) to pass. Our practice tests match the exact format, topics, and difficulty of the real Maryland DMV test.
What makes the Maryland DMV test unique?
Maryland has the strictest passing threshold in the US — 88%, meaning only 3 mistakes allowed out of 25. The exam heavily covers DC-area traffic, HOV lanes, and speed-camera zones.
Maryland's SafeZones program doubles speed-camera fines in posted construction areas even when no workers are present.
With only 3 mistakes allowed, practice until you're hitting 95%+ consistently.
