Hey, slugger! Are you ready to take a swing at getting your Kentucky driver’s license? Without the proper test preparation, you may as well be betting the farm on a 300 to 1 longshot at Churchill Downs. Kentucky requires you to answer 80% of the 40 questions on its driving knowledge test to receive a passing score. You’re not going to have a lot of cushion for submitting wrong answers. Your best option is to brush up on driver safety and the traffic laws that govern public roads. You can find a multitude of knowledge test preparation resources online. With so many options, you’re probably wondering how to choose the best one.
This free Kentucky Diagnostic Driving practice test is expertly designed to instruct you in becoming a master of road rules. The practice test includes questions like the ones you will see on the official test. Like most standardized tests, the Kentucky knowledge test may have complex and confusing questions capable of making you second-guess your answers. There are 8 questions on the knowledge test that Kentuckians often miss. These questions can make you feel like a chicken running around with its head cut off because they are worded in a way that offers answer choices with subtle differences. Your analytical skills will need to be on point to avoid making a costly mistake.

Questions are created and maintained by the Driving-Tests.org content team following our multi-layer editorial process and updated whenever the KentuckyKSP changes its handbook or website information. Official sources we check:
Based on the most recent Kentucky KSP driver’s manual (Kentucky DMV Handbook (KY Driver's Manual) 2025) and up to date as of December 2025, the Diagnostic Driving practice test is a proven resource to help you efficiently manage your study time and increase your chance of passing your official knowledge test on the first try. Study guides are not as effective because they train you to memorize the answer to a question without providing an explanation. On the other hand, the practice test identifies any wrong answers that you submit. You will be provided with a detailed explanation of the correct answer so that you clearly understand the information that makes it correct. This type of instruction can pay off big because you will be able to think through the knowledge test questions instead of only memorizing correct answers. Additionally, this instruction can age in your brain like a full-bodied bourbon and be used in your daily driving routine.
