Mississippi DMV is administered by the Mississippi Department of Public Safety (DPS), headquartered in Jackson. The official Mississippi 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 Mississippi DMV test.
What makes the Mississippi DMV test unique?
Mississippi's exam emphasizes school-zone safety (state has strict 20 mph limits when children present), rural highway passing, and hurricane evacuation.
Mississippi's "Emma's Law" doubles fines for speeding in a school zone when children are present.
Hurricane and flood driving are disproportionately tested — read Chapter 10 of the manual.
