Texas Car / Permit practice question · Penalties & Licensing

What score do you need to pass a Texas knowledge exam for a driver license?

Answer choices

• 60 percent
• 70 percent— Correct answer
• 80 percent
• 90 percent

Why this is the answer

To pass any Texas knowledge exam, you must score 70 percent or better. That covers the Class C exam, the motorcycle exam, and the rules exam for Class A and Class B vehicles. A score of 60 percent falls below the mark, while 80 or 90 percent is higher than you need.
