Taking Practice Tests

Who Must Take the Wyoming Knowledge Test?
When you apply for your first driver’s license, you must pass a written knowledge test.
You must also pass the knowledge test again if you let your license expire and have not driven for two years or more.
DMV can also ask you to retake all tests after a license revocation.
Based upon personal observation, medical or vision information, and other factors, a DMV representative always has the discretion to ask for a knowledge test.
Official Wyoming Knowledge Test
The knowledge test has questions related to the class of license you are applying for. You can find all answers to the exam questions in the applicable driver’s manual.
On the test, you must identify traffic signs by shape, color, or symbol and identify signals and pavement markings. The test also has questions about seat belt usage, traffic laws, safety rules, crash prevention, and vehicle equipment.
You take your test on a computerized system. Applicants with reading difficulties can ask for a headset and hear the questions through a phone system. If you prefer to use the audio system, you must ask the examiner to connect you to the system before you begin your written test.
If you fail your first attempt, again the same day. You can take the test twice daily.
This does not apply if you miss 13 or more questions. In such a case, you must wait at least three days to retake the test.
