Your score is

Easy	Medium	Hard	Road Sign
NV DMV Test 1	NV DMV Test 1	NV DMV Test 1	Shape and Color Test

The trickiest part for most people is the road signs. There are a ton of them, and some look similar but mean different things (like a “no U-turn” sign versus a “no left turn” sign). Also, some questions about specific laws—like how far you need to stay from a fire truck or what to do at an unmarked intersection—can catch you off guard if you haven’t read up.

The 80% passing score sounds strict, but it gives you room to miss 10 questions, which is generous enough if you’ve put in some study time. Most people who fail only miss by a couple of points, usually because they didn’t study enough or got nervous and second-guessed themselves.
