The official Texas written test

Texas Department of Public Safety sets the live exam. Every number below is cited. Practice-bank size on this page (335 questions across 14 tests) is counted from the live Texas lessons, not from the official paper.

What the test doesThe sourced figureSource
Who writes the testThe Class C knowledge exam is a Texas DPS test. Teens may pass it during the classroom portion of driver education, or sit it at a driver license office when they apply for a learner license.Texas DPS — What to Bring When Applying (Learner License, DL-67)
Official question count and pass markCurrent DPS public pages do not state a Class C question count or passing score. A federal historical profile compiled on our pass-rate page listed Texas at 30 questions and 70%. That is historical evidence, not a figure DPS publishes today.Historical — not a current agency rule.Drivings permit-test pass rates by state
Teen vs adult pathAges 15–17 enter Texas’s Graduated Driver License: a learner license with a licensed adult 21 or older in the front passenger seat, no phone use (including hands-free, except emergencies), held at least six months. Adults do not go through those GDL phases. The knowledge exam itself is the same Class C test.Texas DPS — Texas Learners License as a Teen
LanguagesDPS offers the non-commercial driver-license knowledge test in English or Spanish. You must still be able to understand road signs written in English. Translators may not help during the test.Texas DPS — Testing in Other Languages
Historical attempt dataThe compiled state table has no official Texas pass-rate figure. Only the historical 30-question / 70% profile is on record. We do not invent a Texas or Drivings pass rate to fill the gap.Historical — not a current agency rule.Drivings permit-test pass rates by state

Questions about these tests

Are these Texas practice tests really free?
Yes. Every question, every answer and every explanation is free, with no account and no email. Texas DPS does not publish a public interactive sample test — the official study source is the Driver Handbook (DL-7). Pro adds the exam simulator, the mistake bank and the study assistant, but never the questions themselves.
How many questions are on the real Texas knowledge exam?
DPS does not currently publish a Class C question count or passing score on its public driver-license pages. Our pass-rate compilation records a historical NHTSA profile of 30 questions at 70%. Treat that as history, and confirm the live exam with DPS when you sit it.
Can a Texas teen take the knowledge test at school?
Yes. If you passed the knowledge exam during driver-education classroom instruction, bring the DE-964 (or equivalent) with the score noted, or sealed school results. If you have not taken it yet, DPS administers it at the driver license office when you apply for a learner license.
Where do the Texas questions come from?
They are written against the Texas Driver Handbook. Every question cites the handbook section it came from. A California paper will teach you a 25 mph town default; Texas’s prima-facie urban-district default is 30 mph.

What Pro adds

The Texas practice tests stay free. Pro is the study plan around them: a timed exam simulator, a mistake bank that re-serves every question you got wrong, and a study assistant. It does not unlock the questions — those are already on this page.
