How the Colorado DMV written test works

The Colorado DMV written knowledge test consists of 50 multiple-choice questions drawn from the Colorado driver handbook. To pass the Colorado exam, you need at least 40 correct answers - a 80% passing score. The Colorado test covers road signs, traffic laws, right-of-way rules, and safe driving practices specific to Colorado.

The Colorado DMV accepts walk-ins for the written test, though wait times vary by location and time of day.

In Colorado, the written test is offered in 2 languages: English, Spanish.

If you don't pass: The online @Home knowledge test can be retaken the same day, but only twice in one day, so a third attempt waits until the next day. There is no cap on total attempts, and Colorado publishes no wait for in-office or CDL knowledge retests. Each written retest carries an $11.50 state fee; the @Home vendor adds $5 testing plus $1.50 card processing per attempt, and third-party testers may add fees.
