How the Rhode Island DMV written test works
The Rhode Island DMV written knowledge test consists of 50 multiple-choice questions drawn from the Rhode Island driver handbook. To pass the Rhode Island exam, you need at least 40 correct answers - a 80% passing score. The Rhode Island test covers road signs, traffic laws, right-of-way rules, and safe driving practices specific to Rhode Island.
The Rhode Island DMV requires an appointment before you can take the written test. Schedule ahead to avoid delays.
In Rhode Island, the written test is offered in 37 languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, Albanian, Arabic (+32).
If you don't pass: After failing the knowledge exam you must wait at least 8 days to retake it; CDL and CLP knowledge exams carry a separate 7-day wait. The RI DMV publishes no knowledge-exam retest fee and no limit on attempts. Road-test waits escalate: 30 days after the 1st failure, 90 days after the 2nd, and 180 days after the 3rd and every failure after that. If repeated failures use up your permit's 2 one-year extensions, you must pass the knowledge test again to get a new permit.
