254 questions, 12 of them written for Colorado.
The Colorado bank runs to 254 questions. 12 are written for Colorado specifically from the Colorado Revised Statutes Title 42, Vehicles and Traffic, 60 make up the shared national core of right of way, rules of the road and safety that every state tests, and 182 are sign recognition cards with official MUTCD sign artwork (public domain, via Wikimedia Commons). 9 of the 254 are rated hard, 3 of those from Colorado's own set.
DMV does not publish the exam format where we could confirm it, so the numbers above are our best information rather than a verified fact. Check with Colorado Department of Revenue, Division of Motor Vehicles before your appointment.
The 12 questions written for Colorado.
These 12 split into 6 on rules of the road, 5 on safety and impairment and 1 on right of way, and each one names the rule it tests, so you learn the C.R.S. Title 42 section rather than just the answer. The rest of the bank is the shared national core and the sign artwork every state uses. Here is what Colorado asks from its own code, and where each question comes from.
