Montana DMV is administered by the Montana Motor Vehicle Division (MVD), headquartered in Helena. The official Montana written knowledge exam has 33 questions, and drivers must answer 27 correctly (80%) to pass. Our practice tests match the exact format, topics, and difficulty of the real Montana DMV test.
What makes the Montana DMV test unique?
Montana's unusual 33-question exam covers open-range livestock right-of-way, winter mountain driving, and the state's reasonable-and-prudent speed law history.
Montana has open-range laws — in designated areas, livestock have the right of way, and drivers are liable for damage from collisions.
Open-range and wildlife collision questions distinguish Montana's exam from any other state.
