Arkansas DMV Handbook 2025

Dreaming of the day when you can drive yourself to Crater of Diamonds State Park and start digging for diamonds (yes, diamonds!) in their original volcanic source? Or drive to Hot Springs and relax in one of their soothing spas? Or maybe savor the fall foliage from your own car on the Pig Trail Scenic Byway? Wherever you’d like to drive, you’ll need a driver’s license.

To obtain a driver’s license, you must meet a series of requirements, including passing the official -question knowledge test. If you’re under 18 or have never driven before, passing this test is also necessary to obtain an instruction permit, which will allow you to practice driving under supervision. The test questions are multiple-choice and based on the official driver’s manual (Arkansas DMV Handbook (AR Driver's Manual) 2025). They cover topics such as traffic laws, road signs, and rules of the road. You will take this test on a computerized kiosk at a State Police testing center. The passing score is 80%. Think it will be easy to pass this test? Not necessarily! In 2016, about 46.6% – nearly half – of applicants failed the Arkansas DMV knowledge test on their first attempt.

Our knowledge test preparation program includes various interactive tools you can use to greatly improve your chances of passing. It includes a series of practice tests based on the official manual. Each practice test comes with our AI-based assistant to give you hints and explanations to speed up your learning process.

Once you’ve used our tools to learn all about safe driving, we have one final study aid for you: our special Exam Simulator test. Instead of teaching you more about driving, it will give you a feel for the official knowledge test itself.

This Exam Simulator test closely resembles official knowledge exam conditions. The test consists of questions based on the official manual, just like those on the official DMV knowledge test. The passing score is 80%, just like the official test. There are no hints or other aids to help you answer the test questions. And the test ends prematurely if you fail it (i.e., you miss more than 20% of the questions).

This Exam Simulator test is so realistic that you may even experience a little “test anxiety” when taking it. That’s how you would have reacted to the official knowledge test! By giving you a realistic test experience now, your fear of the unknown will be reduced, and you’ll be more confident that you’re ready to ace the official test.

Good luck!
