Start the Washington practice testA 22-year-old licensed driver has just become a Washington resident. What deadline does the guide give for obtaining a Washington driver license?
Why: A new Washington resident age 18 or older who holds an out-of-state license has 30 days to obtain a Washington driver license. Therefore, the supported response is "Within 30 days".
Who must be restrained while a vehicle is moving in Washington?
Why: Every person in a moving vehicle must wear a seat belt or be secured in an approved child restraint. Therefore, the supported response is "Every occupant".
Does an unmarked intersection still require a driver to yield to a pedestrian crossing there?
Why: Pedestrians and bicyclists have the right-of-way at marked and unmarked crosswalks and intersections. Therefore, the supported response is "Yes, the right-of-way applies at marked and unmarked intersections".
A school bus ahead activates flashing red lights and extends its stop sign. What must a driver behind it do?
Why: All drivers traveling in the same direction as a school bus must stop when its red lights flash and stop sign is extended. Therefore, the supported response is "Stop".
At a four-way stop, one vehicle clearly arrives before all others. Which vehicle goes first?
Why: At a four-way stop, the first vehicle to arrive is the first vehicle permitted to go. Therefore, the supported response is "The vehicle that arrived first".
A front tire suddenly blows out. What should the driver do first?
Why: After a blowout, hold the wheel firmly, keep straight, lift off the accelerator, slow gradually, and avoid braking except gently if necessary. Therefore, the supported response is "Grip the wheel firmly, stay straight, and slow gradually".
These are Washington's own topic areas, from licensing testing and intermediate licenses to vehicle failures collisions and law enforcement, each with 10 questions. Under each one are two questions from the bank, shown without their answers; the practice test explains every one of them.
Take a Quick check of 25 in coaching mode. Read each explanation, including the ones you got right; it tells you the rule Washington tests, not just the answer.
Your account's Study tab ranks the 10 topics by your results. Read that chapter of the Washington Driver Guide, 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 Washington State Department of Licensing. 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 Intermediate Licenses, Vehicle Ownership Insurance And Readiness, Occupant Protection And Vehicle Control, Driver Fitness Impairment And Distraction, Pedestrians Motorcycles And Bicycles, Buses Large Vehicles Trains And Emergency Vehicles, Traffic Laws Signals And Signs, Intersections Turns Road Markings And Parking, Speed Space Merging And Road Conditions, and Vehicle Failures Collisions And Law Enforcement. Every test you take draws from all of them, so a weak area shows up quickly.
The Washington 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.
The Washington Driver Guide (Form 520-400 (R/4/25), English), published by Washington State Department of Licensing. Every question here is written for it, and each explanation names the rule, so when you miss a question you know which chapter to read.
Coaching mode shows whether each answer was right, and why, before you move on; it is for learning. Exam mode holds the explanations and the correct choices until the end and still shows your running score; it is for checking readiness. Both draw from the same bank, and scoring happens on our servers, so no answer key is loaded in your browser.
