Overview of test structure and common pitfalls
The Nevada DMV knowledge test has 25 multiple-choice questions. Topics on traffic signs, insurance requirements, the demerit point system, safe driving operations, and others on seatbelt laws. You must get 20 correct questions or more out of 25, which is a minimum passing grade of 80%. The written test can be divided into the following sections:
| Test section | Questions | Common mistakes |
|---|---|---|
| Traffic signs | 5-7 | Confusing similar-looking signs and not remembering what different shapes and colors represent. Be sure to memorize not just the signs, but also their meanings and the actions required when encountering them. |
| Insurance requirements | 4-5 | Misunderstanding the minimum insurance coverage required by law. Pay attention to the details of different coverage types, such as liability and comprehensive coverage. |
| Demerit point system | 5-6 | Failing to grasp how the demerit point system affects your driving record and insurance rates. Learn how points are assigned for specific infractions and how they can be reduced over time. |
| Safe driving operations | 7-9 | Not knowing the safe driving practices for different situations, like merging onto highways or navigating roundabouts. Focus on defensive driving techniques and right-of-way rules. |
| Seatbelt laws | 2-4 | Forgetting the specific requirements for seatbelt use, especially for different types of vehicles and passengers. Review the seatbelt laws thoroughly to avoid these mistakes. |
The common mistakes among Nevada test-takers are insufficient understanding of the traffic signs, underestimation of the importance of the insurance requirements, and overlooking all the important details about the demerit point system.

Study tips and test day preparation guide
Effective study strategies
Break your study sessions into manageable chunks focusing on one test section at a time. Use practice tests and the official Nevada Driver’s Manual to reinforce your knowledge. Pay special attention to sections where you commonly make mistakes.
Practice tests should be taken under timed conditions to simulate the real exam environment. This helps build familiarity with the test format and identifies areas that need more focus.
Tips for test day
Ensure you have all necessary documents, such as identification, proof of residency, and any required fees. Arrive early at the DMV to avoid any last-minute stress. Read each question carefully and take your time to consider all the options before selecting an answer.
If you start feeling nervous, take a few deep breaths to calm yourself. Remind yourself that the better prepared you are, the more confident you will feel. Trust your preparation and stay focused.
