Missouri DMV is administered by the Missouri Department of Revenue (DOR), headquartered in Jefferson City. The official Missouri written knowledge exam has 25 questions, and drivers must answer 20 correctly (80%) to pass. Our practice tests match the exact format, topics, and difficulty of the real Missouri DMV test.
What makes the Missouri DMV test unique?
Missouri's exam focuses on hill and winding-road driving (Ozarks), hands-free device laws for commercial drivers, and "Move Over" laws for emergency vehicles.
Missouri's hands-free law applies to drivers under 21 and all commercial drivers — a tiered rule unique to the state.
Missouri is one of the few states where handheld phone use is still legal for adult non-commercial drivers.
