The 12 questions written for Massachusetts.

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 M.G.L. 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 Massachusetts asks from its own code, and where each question comes from.

How RMV scores it

18 of 25 correct, 7 misses allowed.

The Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles knowledge test is 25 questions and you pass at 18, which is 18 of 25 (72%), so 7 wrong answers is the margin before it ends. The exam simulator draws that exact count and pass mark and scores it the way RMV does.
