Same exam. You answer on a screen, and what decides your day is the scoring below.
What the questions cover

The official practice test is the only published format
Arkansas State Police runs a free official practice test, linked from its driver examination pages, and it is the one place the agency puts a number on anything. Each attempt is built from 25 questions chosen at random out of a pool taken from the actual driver license knowledge test and the study guide, and the quiz regenerates itself every time you sit it. That is why 25 is the length used here. It is the closest official signal available rather than a confirmed length for the real exam, which the ASP does not state. The same study guide carries a warning that the agency has no association with third party practice test sites, which is worth reading next to any site quoting a firm Arkansas question count or pass mark.
Official Arkansas Driver License Practice Test (Arkansas State Police), read 2026-08-28What is charged, and what is not published
The Arkansas Driver License Study Guide, September 2024 printing, was read end to end on 28 August 2026. It confirms the $5 charged for each written examination under Act 1289 of 2015, with no limit on how many attempts can be charged, and it names no waiting period between attempts, so a retest is a matter of booking rather than serving out a wait. It does not state the number of questions on the real knowledge exam or the score needed to pass, and it sets no required number of supervised driving hours either. The knowledge and skills exams are given in person at Arkansas State Police testing sites by appointment; the agency's free quiz and its AR Driver Testing app are practice tools, not the certifying exam.
