How we check facts
Where our facts come from.
You’re studying for your state’s test, so the facts you learn need to be right. This page explains where ours come from, how we check them and what to do if you find a mistake.
1. The documents we use
The facts on our checked state pages, and every question in the app, come from official documents:
- Your state’s driver’s handbook. It’s the official guide your state publishes for drivers.
- Official government websites. We use them for details the handbook leaves out.
- The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. It’s the national standard for traffic signs, signals and road markings, published by the federal government.
- AAMVA’s Model Driver’s License Manual. AAMVA is the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators.
2. How we check a fact
For each fact on a checked state page, we find the sentence in an official document that says it. Then we make sure our page says the same thing.
If we can’t find an official document that says it, we leave it out.
There’s one exception. When no official source gives a test’s number of questions or its passing score, the page still shows the figure our simulated tests use, and says it isn’t confirmed.
3. How to spot a checked page
A checked state page has a line under its figures. It names the handbook the page was checked against and the date of the check.
On a checked page, each fact is written in plain words. Beside it, you’ll find the official sentence it comes from, with the document’s name and a link, so you can read it for yourself.
The date is the day we last checked the page’s facts. It only changes when we check them again.
4. If you find a mistake
Please tell us. Email contact@cloudforge.fr with the page and what looks wrong. In the app, tap Report a problem on the question’s explanation.
We check every report against the official document. If something’s wrong, we fix it.
5. Your state has the last word
DMV Champ isn’t an official source. If anything here ever disagrees with your state’s current handbook, go with the handbook.
For anything about the test itself, ask the agency that gives it.
