What the Arizona exam looks like

Arizona’s exam is a middle-length one: 21 jurisdictions ask fewer questions and 21 ask more. You need 80% to pass, which means you can miss 6 questions and still get your permit. There is no time limit, so read every question twice.

The exam is given by the MVD (Arizona Motor Vehicle Division). Its questions come from the official Arizona driver’s handbook, which is also where every DMV Champ question is checked.

The same format is used in Alabama, Maine, Mississippi and South Carolina.

What the Arizona handbook says

The Arizona Driver License Manual and Customer Service Guide calls it the written test, so that is the phrase you’ll see at the counter and on the agency’s site. Passing it is how you get an instruction permit, which you can apply for from age 15 and a half in Arizona.

37 topics in Arizona: the 34 every state tests, plus winter driving, flooding, and dust storms. Arizona is the only state whose handbook teaches dust storms, and the only one where the app includes that topic.

Pick Arizona once in the app and every simulated exam uses these figures. Nothing is revealed mid-exam, and each attempt is graded against the 24-correct passing score at the end. Retake an exam as often as you like, reordered each time.

What you study

4 sections, 37 topics, every one on the Arizona exam.

Signs and signals, road rules, safe driving and driving laws. The topics come from the AAMVA guidelines every state builds its exam on, checked against the Arizona handbook. Each is a short group of questions you can get through in a few minutes, and every answer is explained the moment you check it.

Learn by answering

No chapters to read first. Every practice question carries its answer and the reasoning, so a wrong answer is how the next thing is taught.

Mistakes come back

A question you get wrong returns until you get it right. Once you’ve answered every new question and corrected every mistake, you’ve finished the learning phase.

A predicted score

The score you’d likely get on the Arizona exam today, with the 24-correct passing score marked on it and a 14-day trend.
