How the real Mississippi knowledge test works

Mississippi 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 Mississippi bank every time.

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

  3. In Mississippi, a driver aged 21 or older is legally under the influence at what blood alcohol content (BAC)?

    • A .02% or more
    • B .08% or more
    • C .10% or more
    • D .05% or more
    Show answer

    B. .08% or more

    Drivers 21 and older are under the influence at a BAC of .08% or more. Even below that, alcohol slows reflexes and reaction time, so the safest choice is not to drink and drive at all.
