About the Arkansas DMV Written Test
Every new driver in Arkansas must pass a written knowledge test administered by the Arkansas Department of Motor Vehicles before being issued a learner's permit. The official exam contains 25 multiple-choice questions drawn directly from the 2026 Arkansas Driver Handbook, and you must answer at least 20 correctly (a 80% passing score) to qualify for the road skills test.
Topics on the Arkansas test include traffic laws, road sign recognition, traffic signal meaning, right-of-way rules, safe-following distances, defensive driving practices, sharing the road with trucks, motorcycles, bicycles and pedestrians, alcohol and drug awareness (including Arkansas's implied consent laws), and emergency response procedures. Sudden thunderstorms, flash flooding, and hurricane evacuation routing are tested topics.
Our practice simulator above mirrors the real AR exam in length and format. Each question includes a detailed, plain-English explanation so you not only memorise the right answer — you understand why it is correct, which is exactly how the Arkansas Department of Motor Vehicles expects you to think on test day.
