How many questions are on the Oklahoma DMV written test?

Oklahoma does not publish a figure we could verify against an official handbook, so the practice exam here uses a common 25-question format with 20 correct to pass. Check the Oklahoma DMV before your appointment.

Is the Oklahoma written test available in Spanish?

Most states offer the knowledge test in Spanish. Confirm with the Oklahoma DMV, and practise in Spanish here.

Are these the real DMV questions?

No — and nobody who has them is allowed to publish them. Every question here is written from the official driver handbook and the federal MUTCD sign standard, which is what the real test is written from too.

Is this Oklahoma practice test free?

Yes. Every question on this page is free, with no account and no email.

It is raining and you pass this sign. What is the correct way to drive the stretch ahead?

Ease off the speed and avoid sudden steering, braking or acceleration

Brake firmly early to test how much grip the tires have

Speed up so the tires cut through the film of water

Move onto the shoulder, where the surface is rougher

You need to enter a destination into a navigation app during a journey. You should:

Pull over somewhere safe and stop before using it

Enter it while driving on a quiet straight road

Ask a passenger only if one is present

A police officer at an intersection is directing you to proceed while the signal is red. You should:

Stop, then proceed when the signal turns green

Sound your horn and wait for the signal

A yellow plaque like this under a curve warning sign shows:

The recommended safe speed for that curve in good conditions

The legal speed limit for that section

The speed at which the curve was surveyed

A DO NOT PASS sign means you may not pass:

Until a sign or road marking tells you passing is allowed again

Unless the vehicle ahead is going well below the limit

Unless you can complete the pass within 100 feet

You are parking facing UPHILL at a kerb. Your front wheels should be turned:

Away from the kerb, so the car rolls back into it

Straight ahead with the handbrake on

Several of these signs appear one after another along the outside of a bend. What are they telling you?

The road changes direction here, so follow the curve and stay in your lane

The lane is closed and you must move over

There is a passing lane on the side the arrowheads point toward

Each sign marks a driveway entrance

This plaque is mounted directly under a STOP sign. What does it tell you?

Every approach to the intersection is controlled by a stop sign, so all traffic must stop

You may roll through if no vehicle is approaching from any direction

Only vehicles that are turning must stop; traffic going straight may continue

Traffic on the cross street has the right of way over you at all times

Two diamond warning signs on the same highway are the same shape and size, but one has a yellow background and the other orange. What does that difference tell a driver?

The orange sign warns of a temporary condition in a work zone; the yellow warns of a lasting condition of the road

The orange sign is advisory while the yellow sign can be enforced

The orange sign applies to trucks and the yellow sign to all vehicles

The orange sign is used at night and the yellow sign by day

Parking is prohibited in front of a fire hydrant, on a crosswalk and within an intersection primarily because:

A parked vehicle there blocks emergency access or hides people from view

Those places are reserved for permit holders

The road surface is weaker there

They are reserved for commercial loading

The signal facing you shows a green left arrow and a circular red at the same time. You may:

Turn left as the arrow directs, but not go straight ahead or turn right

Proceed in any direction, because a green indication is showing

Do nothing yet — the red overrides the arrow and you must wait for a green ball

Treat the signal as faulty and cross as at an all-way stop

You are third in a queue at a red light that has just turned green, and the intersection ahead is still full of cross traffic clearing. You should:

Wait behind the line until there is room for your vehicle beyond the intersection

Move forward with the queue and stop in the intersection

Sound your horn to clear the intersection

Change lanes to get around the queue

1.
It is raining and you pass this sign. What is the correct way to drive the stretch ahead?
Not quiteCorrect answer: B — Ease off the speed and avoid sudden steering, braking or acceleration
The sign marks a surface that loses grip when wet. The grip you have is spent either on turning or on stopping, so gentle inputs and a lower speed keep enough of it in reserve for whichever you suddenly need.
Believing four-wheel drive or new tires make the warning irrelevant. Drive systems help you get moving; nothing but lower speed helps you stop on a slick surface.
2.
You need to enter a destination into a navigation app during a journey. You should:
Not quiteCorrect answer: C — Pull over somewhere safe and stop before using it
Programming a device takes eyes and attention off the road for many seconds. Stopping is the only version of this that is not a distraction offence.
A red light feels like free time, but the light changes and the vehicle behind expects you to move.
3.
A police officer at an intersection is directing you to proceed while the signal is red. You should:
Not quiteCorrect answer: B — Follow the officer's direction
Directions from a police officer or authorised person override signs and signals. They are normally there because the signal does not fit the situation.
Hesitating when waved through a red light is understandable but creates exactly the confusion the officer is trying to resolve.
4.
A yellow plaque like this under a curve warning sign shows:
Not quiteCorrect answer: A — The recommended safe speed for that curve in good conditions
Advisory speeds are recommendations for ideal conditions. They are not separately enforceable as a limit, but exceeding one in rain or at night is exactly how cars leave the road.
Because it is not a legal limit, drivers dismiss it. It is a measured figure for a dry road — in the wet it is already optimistic.
5.
A DO NOT PASS sign means you may not pass:
Not quiteCorrect answer: D — Until a sign or road marking tells you passing is allowed again
The restriction runs until it is lifted — normally by a PASS WITH CARE sign or by the centre line changing to a broken one on your side.
A slow vehicle ahead does not create an exception. No-passing zones exist because sight distance is inadequate, which is exactly when passing feels most tempting.
6.
You are parking facing UPHILL at a kerb. Your front wheels should be turned:
Not quiteCorrect answer: A — Away from the kerb, so the car rolls back into it
Facing uphill the car rolls backwards, so the wheels are turned out and the rear of the tyre catches the kerb.
With no kerb at all, the wheels are turned toward the edge of the road in both cases — the kerb is what changes the answer.
7.
Several of these signs appear one after another along the outside of a bend. What are they telling you?
Not quiteCorrect answer: A — The road changes direction here, so follow the curve and stay in your lane
Chevrons are placed in a series through a change of alignment so at least one is always in view. Together they show how sharp the bend is and where the road goes at night, when your headlights cannot reach around it.
Reading a chevron as an instruction to change lanes. It describes the alignment of the road, not a movement you are being told to make.
8.
This plaque is mounted directly under a STOP sign. What does it tell you?
Not quiteCorrect answer: A — Every approach to the intersection is controlled by a stop sign, so all traffic must stop
The ALL WAY plaque is used only where every approach to the intersection is stopped. It tells you the cross traffic will stop too, but it gives you nothing extra: you still stop, then take your turn.
Knowing that the other drivers also face a stop sign tempts people to treat their own stop as a formality. The plaque adds information; it never removes the stop.
9.
Two diamond warning signs on the same highway are the same shape and size, but one has a yellow background and the other orange. What does that difference tell a driver?
Not quiteCorrect answer: A — The orange sign warns of a temporary condition in a work zone; the yellow warns of a lasting condition of the road
Background colour is part of the message. Orange is reserved for temporary traffic control such as construction, maintenance and incident zones, so what it warns of was probably not there last month. Yellow marks a condition built into the road itself.
Seeing orange as just a brighter yellow. The colour change is the warning: the road ahead is not the road you learned.
10.
Parking is prohibited in front of a fire hydrant, on a crosswalk and within an intersection primarily because:
Not quiteCorrect answer: D — A parked vehicle there blocks emergency access or hides people from view
Every one of these restrictions protects either an emergency response or a sightline. The exact distances differ by state; the reasons do not.
These are treated as revenue rules. Parking across a crosswalk pushes pedestrians into the traffic lane to get around you.
11.
The signal facing you shows a green left arrow and a circular red at the same time. You may:
Not quiteCorrect answer: B — Turn left as the arrow directs, but not go straight ahead or turn right
An arrow permits only the movement it points to. The circular red still governs every other movement, so through traffic in the same signal group stays stopped while the turn goes.
Any green is read as general permission. The combination is deliberate: the left turn is being run on its own protected phase precisely because straight-ahead traffic must not move.
12.
You are third in a queue at a red light that has just turned green, and the intersection ahead is still full of cross traffic clearing. You should:
Not quiteCorrect answer: C — Wait behind the line until there is room for your vehicle beyond the intersection
Entering an intersection you cannot clear blocks the cross street when their light turns green. A green light is permission to proceed, not an obligation to enter.
Following the car ahead into a blocked intersection is the definition of gridlock, and in many places is a specific offence.
13.
This symbol on a blue background means:
Not quiteCorrect answer: C — Fuel is available at this exit
The fuel pump is one of the general service symbols. Blue service signs are grouped at exits so you can plan a stop without reading text at speed.
Symbol signs are skipped in study because they seem obvious. State sign sections test them precisely because they carry no words to guess from.
14.
Red is used on only a few US traffic signs, this one among them. What kind of message does red always carry?
Not quiteCorrect answer: D — Stop, yield, or something you are prohibited from doing
Red is held back for the strongest regulatory messages: STOP, YIELD, DO NOT ENTER, WRONG WAY, and the circle and slash used on prohibition signs. Because it is used so sparingly, red on a sign always means a rule rather than information.
Expecting red to mean danger, the way it does on machinery. On US road signs the hazard colour is yellow; red means a rule you must obey.
15.
Where must you stop when a red light is showing and the intersection has a marked stop line?
Not quiteCorrect answer: A — Before the stop line
The order of stopping points is the stop line, then the crosswalk, then the near edge of the intersection — you stop before the first one you meet.
Creeping forward for a better view puts the car in the crosswalk, exactly where people walk and where turning trucks need the space.
16.
What is the correct response to this sign?
Not quiteCorrect answer: B — Slow down, watch for people on or beside the roadway, and be ready to stop
People on foot may be working within a step of the travel lane, and equipment can back into it without warning. Slowing is what buys you the reaction time to avoid someone who moves unexpectedly.
Believing cones or drums protect the crew. They mark the zone; they stop nothing, and many work zones have no barrier at all.
17.
You arrive at an intersection where a flashing red light is showing in your direction. You must:
Not quiteCorrect answer: B — Stop completely, then proceed when it is safe, as at a stop sign
A flashing red has exactly the meaning of a stop sign: full stop, then go when clear.
Drivers wait for a flashing red to "turn green". It will not — the flash is the permanent operating mode at that time.
18.
A white arrow curving to the left and the word ONLY are painted on the surface of the lane you are in. This means:
Not quiteCorrect answer: A — You must turn left from this lane
A lane-use arrow with ONLY is a mandatory instruction, not a suggestion. Drivers behind you have committed to turning, so going straight from that lane blocks them and surprises the lane you cut into.
Painted arrows are read as guidance while only signs are read as law. Pavement lane-use markings carry the same legal force as the sign overhead, and often there is no sign at all.
19.
You feel your steering go light and the car begins to float on a flooded road. You should:
Not quiteCorrect answer: A — Ease off the accelerator and hold the wheel straight until the tyres grip again
That is hydroplaning: the tyres are riding on water. Braking or steering has nothing to act on, so the fix is to reduce speed gently and wait for contact to return.
Braking is the reflex and it is the one input guaranteed not to help — and to cause a spin the moment grip returns.
20.
What does the speed shown on a sign of this type establish?
Not quiteCorrect answer: C — The maximum speed the law allows there under ideal conditions
Black on white is the regulatory colour pair, so this sign states a law rather than advice: the posted figure is the fastest you may legally travel on that stretch, and only when conditions are good. Recommended speeds appear on yellow plaques instead.
Reading the posted limit as a speed that is always safe. It is a legal ceiling, not a promise about the road.
