How the real Connecticut knowledge test works
The Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles test is 25 questions, 20 correct to pass (80%). This simulator follows the same structure, gives no feedback until you finish, and draws a new set of questions from the full Connecticut bank every time.
Aim to pass the simulator two or three times in a row, on different days, before you book your test.
