The 12 questions written for Louisiana.

These 12 split into 7 on rules of the road, 4 on safety and impairment and 1 on right of way, and each one names the rule it tests, so you learn the La. R.S. 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 Louisiana asks from its own code, and where each question comes from.

How OMV scores it

32 of 40 correct, 8 misses allowed.

The Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles knowledge test is 40 questions and you pass at 32, which is 32 of 40 (80%), so 8 wrong answers is the margin before it ends. The exam simulator draws that exact count and pass mark and scores it the way OMV does.
