Sample questions for Arkansas

Three sample questions from our practice bank. Read the explanation after each.

  1. Question 1 · Knowledge test

    What passing score do you need on the Arkansas knowledge test?

    • 60% (15/25)
    • 70% (18/25)
    • 80% (20/25)
    • 90% (23/25)
    See the explanation

    Correct answer: 80% (20/25)

    Arkansas: get 20 of 25 right (80%) to pass.

  2. Question 2 · Rural driving

    On a rural Arkansas open-range road, what should you expect that many drivers overlook?

    • The road is always fenced, so animals cannot enter
    • Livestock may be on the road and you must be ready to stop
    • Speed limits are always higher and safe
    • Right of way rules do not apply
    See the explanation

    Correct answer: Livestock may be on the road and you must be ready to stop

    Open range means livestock can be on the road — slow down and watch the shoulders.

  3. Question 3 · Pavement markings

    What does a solid yellow line on your side of the center of the road mean?

    • You may pass whenever it is clear
    • Passing is not allowed on your side
    • The lane is for turning only
    • The road ends ahead
    See the explanation

    Correct answer: Passing is not allowed on your side

    Solid yellow line on your side = no passing.

Your first full mock exam is free.

Road signs you must know cold

Sign shapes: - Octagon = STOP - Triangle (point down) = YIELD - Diamond = WARNING - Pentagon = SCHOOL ZONE - Round = RAILROAD CROSSING - Rectangle (vertical) = REGULATORY - Rectangle (horizontal) = GUIDE Colors: - Red = stop / do not enter - Yellow = warning - Orange = construction - Green = direction - Blue = motorist services - Brown = recreation

Right-of-way rules that get tested every time

- Uncontrolled intersection: car on the right goes first. - Left turn: yield to oncoming traffic. - Pedestrians in crosswalk: always have the right of way. - Emergency vehicles with lights/siren: pull right and stop. - 4-way stop: first to arrive goes first; if tied, car on right wins. - School bus with red flashing lights: stop in both directions on undivided roads.

Arkansas key rules to memorize

- Road signs and signals - Right-of-way rules - Arkansas open-range and rural-road hazards - Speed limits and safe following distance - Alcohol, drugs and safe driving

DUI and zero-tolerance — easy points

- Adult limit (21+): 0.08% BAC. - Commercial drivers: 0.04% BAC. - Under 21: zero tolerance (0.01–0.02% BAC). - Refusing breathalyzer = automatic license suspension ("implied consent"). - First DUI in Arkansas: suspension, fines, mandatory classes, possible ignition interlock.

Stopping distances (rule of thumb)

Total stopping distance = perception + reaction + braking. At 55 mph in dry conditions: ~250–300 feet. Wet roads roughly double that. Follow the 3-second rule for following distance; 4–5 seconds in bad weather.
