Michigan DMV is administered by the Michigan Secretary of State, headquartered in Lansing. The official Michigan written knowledge exam has 50 questions, and drivers must answer 40 correctly (80%) to pass. Our practice tests match the exact format, topics, and difficulty of the real Michigan DMV test.
What makes the Michigan DMV test unique?
Michigan's 50-question exam uniquely covers "Michigan left" turns (where left turns are replaced by a median U-turn), bridge-ice protocols, and winter emergency procedures.
Michigan prohibits left turns at many divided-highway intersections; drivers must proceed to a designated U-turn area — unique in the US.
Michigan-left and "indirect left turn" questions appear often — drill the diagrams.
