The 12 questions written for Maine.

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 29-A M.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 Maine asks from its own code, and where each question comes from.

How BMV scores it

24 of 30 correct, 6 misses allowed.

The Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles knowledge test is 30 questions and you pass at 24, which is 24 of 30 (80%), so 6 wrong answers is the margin before it ends. The exam simulator draws that exact count and pass mark and scores it the way BMV does.
