How the Minnesota DVS written test works
The Minnesota DVS written knowledge test consists of 40 multiple-choice questions drawn from the Minnesota driver handbook. To pass the Minnesota exam, you need at least 32 correct answers - a 80% passing score. The Minnesota test covers road signs, traffic laws, right-of-way rules, and safe driving practices specific to Minnesota.
The Minnesota DVS accepts walk-ins for the written test, though wait times vary by location and time of day.
In Minnesota, the written test is offered in 8 languages: English, Spanish, Somali, Hmong, Vietnamese (+3).
If you don't pass: You can take a knowledge test only once per day, with at least 1 calendar day between attempts. The first 2 knowledge attempts carry no test fee; a $10 fee applies to the third and every later knowledge test once you have failed 2 in a row. Road tests are separate: 1 week of practice after a first failure, 2 weeks after the second, third or fourth, a $20 fee from the third road or skills test on after 2 consecutive failures, and after 4 road-test failures, 6 hours of behind-the-wheel training with an approved driver education program. Minnesota publishes no cap on total attempts.
