254 questions, 12 of them written for Montana.
The Montana bank runs to 254 questions. 12 are written for Montana specifically from the Montana Code Annotated, Title 61 (Motor Vehicles), with driver examination rules in the Administrative Rules of Montana, Title 23 Chapter 3 Subchapter 1, 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). 8 of the 254 are rated hard, 2 of those from Montana's own set.
MVD 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 Montana Department of Justice, Motor Vehicle Division, Driver Services Bureau before your appointment.
The 12 questions written for Montana.
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 MCA tit. 61; ARM 23.3.1 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 Montana asks from its own code, and where each question comes from.
