The Kansas DMV knowledge test consists of 25 multiple-choice questions about road signs, traffic laws, and safe driving practices. You are required to correctly answer at least 20 questions to reach the minimum percentage of 80%. Common mistakes among Kansas test-takers include misunderstanding the shapes and meanings of road signs, confusing speed limits for different areas, and not fully understanding safe driving distances.

This Kansas DMV practice test just got updated for December 2025, featuring the most essential road signs and rules questions directly from the pages of the official KS Driver Handbook. In Kansas, what most people call the “DMV” is officially the DOV (Division of Vehicles). The DMV official test also includes 25 questions, and you are definitely going to need to get at least 20 correct for a green light. Start by creating a study plan that divides the content into manageable sections. Focus on one section at a time, such as road signs first, then traffic laws, and so on. Use flashcards to memorize road signs and practice with online quizzes to reinforce your learning. Make use of the driver’s handbook for in-depth understanding. Taking regular practice tests can help identify areas where you need more review. Aim to take at least 3-4 practice tests in the week leading up to your exam. This helps you become comfortable with the format and timing.

Grateful these tests are available!
Written test in Kansas has clearly gotten more difficult. Having an opportunity to take numerous practice tests better prepares you for the real thing!

This is like the Khan Academy SAT practice tests, but for drivers license.
Just moved to Kansas. I used Driving-tests to practice for my Georgia drivers permit a few years ago and I passed the written test with a 95%. Now, I am using it again, but this time, it is for the Kansas Driver's License. I am confident a week is all I need to pass the Kansas written driver's license test.
