Take a Quick check of 25 in coaching mode. Read each explanation, including the ones you got right; it tells you the rule Tennessee tests, not just the answer.
Your account's Study tab ranks the 10 topics by your results. Read that chapter of the Tennessee Comprehensive Driver License Manual, then take another Quick check to confirm the gap has closed.
Take the Full challenge of 100 in exam mode. Aim for 80 percent or better twice in a row; at that point you are answering from the rules, not from memory of the questions.
No. DMV Exam Pass is an independent study service and is not affiliated with Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security Driver Services Division. The questions are written in the style of the exam to prepare you for it; the official test is taken with the agency.
The 100 questions are spread evenly across 10 topics: Licensing Testing And Graduated Driving, Vehicle Preparation And Occupant Safety, Traffic Signs Signals And Pavement Markings, Right Of Way Speed And Space Management, Turning Lane Use Passing Backing And Parking, Interstate Driving Congestion And Work Zones, Night Weather Winter And Roadside Hazards, Alcohol Drugs Distraction And Driving Privilege, Defensive Driving Crash Avoidance And Crash Response, and Sharing The Road And Railroad Crossings. Every test you take draws from all of them, so a weak area shows up quickly.
The Tennessee bank holds 100 questions. A Quick check of 25 takes about ten minutes, a Practice run of 50 about twenty, and the Full challenge of 100 about forty. You can pause any time.
No. Nobody outside the agency has the real questions, and we do not use, claim, or advertise leaked or exact exam questions. These are independently written questions that test the same rules, so what you learn transfers to whatever the real test asks.
