How the real Arkansas knowledge test works
Arkansas 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 Arkansas bank every time.
Aim to pass the simulator two or three times in a row, on different days, before you book your test.

On a two-lane road, a school bus coming toward you in the opposite lane stops with its red lights flashing. What must you do?
- A Stop and stay stopped until the red lights go off
- B Slow to 10 mph and pass with care
- C Keep going, since the bus is in the other lane
- D Stop, then go once the children are on the sidewalk
Show answer
A. Stop and stay stopped until the red lights go off
When a school bus is stopped with red lights flashing, you must stop whether you are behind it, facing it or at an intersection. Stay stopped until the bus turns off its red lights and begins moving, because children often cross in front of the bus.

At an intersection with no signs or signals, two cars arrive at about the same time. Who must yield?
- A The driver on the right yields to the car on the left
- B The slower car yields to the faster car
- C The driver on the left yields to the car on the right
- D The car going straight yields to the turning car
Show answer
C. The driver on the left yields to the car on the right
At an uncontrolled intersection, you must yield to vehicles approaching from your right. Remember: the car on your right goes first. No driver has an absolute right-of-way, so be ready to yield to avoid a crash.

What following distance does the Arkansas guide recommend behind a motorcycle?
- A At least 4 to 6 seconds
- B At least 2 seconds, the same as for a car
- C At least 1 second, since motorcycles are small
- D At least 10 seconds
Show answer
A. At least 4 to 6 seconds
Leave at least four to six seconds behind a motorcycle so the rider has room to maneuver or stop in an emergency. In dry conditions a motorcycle can stop faster than a car, and even slight contact can cause a fall.
