Mississippi DMV Test FAQ
How many questions are on the Mississippi CDL permit test?
The MS DPS CDL knowledge test has 30 multiple-choice questions drawn from the official state handbook — covering road signs, traffic laws, right-of-way, and safe-driving procedures.
How many practice tests can I take on this site?
Unlimited. There's no login, no daily cap, and no payment gate. Take one, review your mistakes, take another. Free practice tests are how we help — we make our money from ads, not from the tests.
Do I need endorsements beyond the Mississippi CDL general knowledge?
Depending on what you'll haul, yes: Hazmat (H), Tank (N), Doubles/Triples (T), Passenger (P), and School Bus (S) each have their own written test. Air Brakes (L) is also required for most tractor-trailer combos.
Can I look at the Mississippi handbook during the actual test?
No — MS DPS treats the exam as closed-book. The handbook is what you use to prepare, not to reference during the exam.
What's a passing score on the Mississippi DMV knowledge test?
You need 24 out of 30 correct — 80% — to pass. The result is displayed immediately after you submit.
Can I use my phone during the Mississippi DMV knowledge test?
No. All electronics are prohibited during the exam and most offices ask you to leave them in a locker. Use your phone to drill practice tests before you walk in.
If I fail, can I retake the Mississippi test the same day?
Typically no — most states enforce a waiting period between attempts. See the retake FAQ item above (if we have specific data for your state) or ask the office when they schedule your retake.
What happens right after I pass the Mississippi knowledge test?
If you brought all required documents, MS DPS normally issues a temporary paper permit or license the same day. Your printed card typically arrives by mail within 2-4 weeks.
How long is my Mississippi license valid after I pass?
Standard Mississippi licenses are valid for 8 years once issued. See /learn/how-to-renew-license/ms for the full renewal timing and REAL ID upgrade path.
If I'm under 18, does a parent need to be with me for the Mississippi test?
A parent or guardian doesn't sit through the test with you, but under-18 applicants normally need a parent's signature on the application before MS DPS will schedule or administer the exam. Bring the signed form.
