How the real Alabama knowledge test works

Alabama does not publish the count or pass mark; we use 30 questions at 80%. This simulator follows the same structure, gives no feedback until you finish, and draws a new set of questions from the full Alabama bank every time.

Aim to pass the simulator two or three times in a row, on different days, before you book your test.
