Your score is

Don’t panic—it’s just a multiple-choice quiz. It has 25 questions (or 50 for some folks, depending on the license type), and you need to get at least 80% right to pass. That’s 20 correct answers for the 25-question test or 40 for the 50-question one. The questions cover stuff like road signs, traffic rules, and safe driving tips, all straight from the 2025 Nevada Driver’s Handbook.

Here’s the cool part: you can take this test online through Nevada’s KnowToDrive platform. You need a computer with a front-facing camera (no tablets or phones). The test is available in English or Spanish, and you can even have the questions read out loud if that helps.

It costs $6.75 each time you take it online, plus a $25 fee when you pick up your permit. If you’d rather take it in person, you can do that at a DMV office on a touch-screen computer, also in English or Spanish with audio options.
