Oregon DMV is administered by the Oregon Driver and Motor Vehicle Services (Oregon DMV), headquartered in Salem. The official Oregon written knowledge exam has 35 questions, and drivers must answer 28 correctly (80%) to pass. Our practice tests match the exact format, topics, and difficulty of the real Oregon DMV test.
What makes the Oregon DMV test unique?
Oregon's exam covers logging-truck interactions on mountain roads, coastal fog/king-tide protocols, and the state's partial self-serve gasoline rules.
Oregon allows self-serve gas in rural counties but prohibits it in urban areas; drivers must remain in the vehicle where attendants serve.
Coastal driving chapter is unique — study king-tide, fog, and tsunami-zone routes.
