Free Kansas DMV Test Simulator 2026
This DMV Test Simulator is modeled on the Division of Vehicles (DMV) written knowledge exam, which has 25 questions; to pass you need 20 of 25 correct (80%). It is a mock test: 25 questions, the length of the real test, scored to the 80% pass mark. Answers are marked only when you submit the whole test, then you review every question with its explanation. Every question includes an explanation, so you learn the rule behind each answer - not just whether you got it right.
Kansas DMV mock test
Answer all 25 questions first. Nothing is marked until you submit the whole test, so the score shows how ready you are, and then you review every answer with its explanation.
- 25 questions, the same number as the real test
- To pass: 20 of 25 correct (80%)

- B. Gas, food, and lodging services (correct)
- C. Rules such as speed limits

Why: Blue signs indicate motorist services - gas stations, food, lodging, hospitals, and rest areas - available at or near an exit.
6. If your right wheels drift off the pavement onto the shoulder, you should:
- A. Brake hard and steer back onto the road
- B. Ease off the gas and steer back gently (correct)
- C. Speed up and steer back on right away
- D. Jerk the wheel left to get back at once
Why: If your wheels drift onto the shoulder, do not brake hard or jerk the wheel. Ease off the accelerator, keep a firm grip, and steer back onto the pavement gently once your speed has decreased - this prevents loss of control.
