How the real Texas knowledge test works

Texas does not publish a question count; we use 30 questions at its 70% pass mark. This simulator follows the same structure, gives no feedback until you finish, and draws a new set of questions from the full Texas bank every time.

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