Practice test
Pick an answer and check it. Every question comes with the reason behind the right answer and the sentence of an official document it rests on.
To pass here you need 8 of 10, since Florida’s test asks for 80%.
Question 1 of 10 · Guide and service signs
The answer is A: Where the ramp leaves the highway.
The wedge between the ramp and the through lanes is the gore. The sign in it marks the last point where the ramp splits away. Once you are past it, the exit is gone. Do not stop in the gore or cut across it. In some states driving over it is against the law.
“The Exit Gore sign (see Figure 2E-15) in the gore indicates the exiting point or the place of departure from the main roadway.”
Question 2 of 10 · Speed limits
The answer is A: drops a little way ahead.
A yellow sign warns you. It does not set the limit. This one says a lower limit is coming, so begin slowing now. The new limit starts at the white speed limit sign that follows, because that sign stands where the limit changes.
“Speed Reduction Sign. Advance notice to upcoming speed limit change.”
Question 3 of 10 · Motorcycles, trucks and buses
The answer is B: The right side.
A truck's biggest side blind spot is on its right. It starts behind the cab and runs the length of the trailer. The blind spot on the left is smaller, so pass on the left, and get past without lingering on either side.
“Trucks have a larger blind spot on their right side starting behind the cab and extending up to the length of the truck.”
Question 4 of 10 · Regulatory signs
The answer is B: Pass to the right of what is ahead.
A keep-right sign stands where something splits the road ahead: a median, an island or an obstruction. Pass it on the right side. It is not a lane change and not a turn. A keep-left sign is the same arrow bent the other way.
“The Keep Right (R4-7) sign (see Figure 2B-10) may be used at locations where it is necessary for traffic to pass only to the right-hand side of a roadway feature or obstruction. The Keep Left (R4-8) sign (see Figure 2B-10) may be used at locations where it is necessary for traffic to pass only to the left-hand side of a roadway feature or obstruction.”
Question 5 of 10 · Turns and U-turns
The answer is A: No, not before the top of the hill.
A U-turn takes you slowly across the whole road. Drivers from both ways must see you in time to slow down. Near the top of a hill or on a curve they cannot. Drive on to a straight stretch where you can see far both ways and no sign forbids the turn.
“Never make a three-point turn or a U-turn on a curve, a hill, the highway, or where there is a sign that prohibits U-turns.”
Question 6 of 10 · Stopping distance and braking
The answer is B: Steer while you brake hard
Anti-lock brakes keep the wheels from locking, so you can keep steering while you brake hard. That lets you steer around something you cannot stop for. They do not promise a shorter stop, and they help only while your foot stays on the pedal.
“The ABS will allow you to stop your vehicle without skidding and keep steering control.”
Question 7 of 10 · Work zones and flaggers
The answer is C: A person directing traffic.
A flagger is ahead. A flagger stands where you can see them. With a paddle or a flag they stop traffic or send it through, one direction at a time. Slow down as you reach them, and do what they signal.
“The Flagger (W20-7) sign (see Figure 6H-1) should be used in advance of any point where a flagger is stationed to control road users.”
Question 8 of 10 · Alcohol, drugs and DUI
The answer is A: can multiply the effects of both.
Never drink alcohol while you are taking another drug. Together they can multiply each other's effects or add new ones. One drink on top of a sleep aid or a strong painkiller can leave you badly impaired. That is why a medicine label warns you about alcohol.
“Never drink alcohol while you are taking other drugs. These drugs could multiply the effects of alcohol or have additional effects of their own. You cannot drink alcohol or use other impairing drugs and operate a vehicle safely.”
Question 9 of 10 · Curves and hills
The answer is C: have lost their brakes
It is a runaway truck ramp, also called an escape ramp. A truck or bus whose brakes have failed on a long downgrade can steer onto it and stop. Never stop or park on it or at its entrance, since a runaway truck needs it clear.
“A RUNAWAY VEHICLES ONLY (R4-10) sign (see Figure 2B-10) should be installed near a truck escape (or runaway truck) ramp entrance to discourage other road users from entering the ramp.”
Question 10 of 10 · Railroad crossings
The answer is B: Stop before the gate and wait.
Stop before the gate and wait. The lights come on first and the gate follows a few seconds later, and both mean a train is close. Going under a lowering gate puts you on the tracks as the train arrives. Stay stopped until the gate is all the way up and the lights are off.
“The gate arm shall start its downward motion not less than 3 seconds after the flashing-light signals start to operate, shall reach its horizontal position at least 5 seconds before the arrival of the rail traffic, and shall remain in the down position until the rail traffic completely clears the grade crossing.”

You can take the test at a state driver license service center, in an approved school driver education course or with an approved third party provider.

If you’re under 18, you can take the test online through an approved third party administrator.
“Any applicant under the age of 18 can take the Class E Knowledge Exam online. There are approved third party administrators that provide this service.”
An online test needs a Parent Proctoring Form that is notarized or signed in front of a driver license examiner.

The test is offered in English only.
“Class E knowledge examinations are available in English only.”
