Alaska · Right-of-Way Practice
Alaska permit-test facts: Questions: 20; To pass: 16 correct answers out of 20 (80%) on the official General Knowledge Test page; Minimum age: 14 years old for an instruction permit; Fee: $15 instruction permit fee; Re-takes: Ordinary knowledge-test retake timing and attempt limit are not stated in the reviewed official sources.; Official handbook: Alaska Driver Manual.
Right-of-way questions fail more permit test takers than any other topic — because the rules feel like judgment calls until you learn the system behind them. This page breaks down every right-of-way rule tested on the Alaska exam, then lets you practice them with instant AI explanations.
One mindset shift makes these questions easy: right-of-way is always *given*, never *taken*. The test asks who must yield — answer that, and the question solves itself.

Yield to cars already going around the roundabout before you enter.
Question 3 · Alcohol and drugs
In Alaska, a driver 21 or older is presumed to be under the influence at what blood alcohol concentration?

0.08% BAC is the legal limit for drivers 21 and older.
Your first full mock exam is free.
It varies by version, but right-of-way and yielding scenarios are consistently among the largest topic groups on the Alaska exam — and the most commonly missed.
Right-of-way is given, not taken. Every question is really asking "who must yield?" — answer that and you'll get it right even when the wording is tricky.
In crosswalks — marked or unmarked — yes. The test loves this rule. Blind pedestrians with a white cane or guide dog have the right of way everywhere, always.
Yes. Our question bank tags every question by topic, so you can run right-of-way-only drills until you score 90%+, then mix them back into full 20-question mock exams.
