Utah written test format
| Test | Questions | Pass mark | Minimum age |
|---|---|---|---|
| Car | 50 | 40 correct (10 mistakes allowed) | 15 years |
| Motorcycle | 25 | 20 correct (5 mistakes allowed) | 16 years |
| CDL | 50 | 40 correct (10 mistakes allowed) | 18 years |
Car. An applicant who has never been licensed takes a closed book test of 50 questions. A previously licensed applicant takes an open book test of 25 questions. All written knowledge tests require 80 percent and are not timed. First time applicants must also pass the online Traffic Safety and Trends Exam with 100 percent.
Motorcycle. The motorcycle learner permit requires a valid Class D or commercial license, a vision test and the motorcycle written test. The Division does not publish the item count for the motorcycle test, so the figure shown is a working value; the 80 percent pass mark applies to all written knowledge tests.
CDL. Utah requires at least one year of experience as a licensed driver plus a current medical examiner certificate. Applicants under 21 are limited to excepted intrastate operation with a K restriction. The item count and pass mark shown are working values, since the state manual does not publish them.
