1 What score is required to pass the Alaska DMV knowledge test?
Alaska requires 80% correct on its 20-question permit exam.
2 You hit a patch of black ice on an Alaska highway and begin to skid. You should:
In a skid, take your foot off the gas, avoid hard braking, and steer gently in the direction you want the front of the car to go.
3 A moose is standing near the roadway at dusk. The safest action is to:
Large animals are unpredictable; slow down, give them room, and be prepared to stop rather than swerving into another lane.
4 What is the shape of a STOP sign?
Only the STOP sign is an octagon. The unique 8-sided shape lets drivers recognize it even when snow or dirt hides the wording.
5 A solid yellow line on your side of the center line means:
A solid yellow line on your side means you may not cross it to pass. A broken yellow line on your side would allow passing when safe.
6 Under good conditions, the minimum safe following distance is about:
Use the 3-second rule: pick a fixed point, and you should pass it at least 3 seconds after the car ahead. Add more time in rain, fog, or at higher speeds.
7 A triangular (downward-pointing) sign tells you to:
A downward triangle is always a YIELD sign. Slow down, be ready to stop, and give the right-of-way to traffic and pedestrians already in the intersection.
8 When a traffic light is flashing red, you must:
A flashing red light has the same meaning as a STOP sign: come to a full stop, then proceed only when it is safe.
9 In fog, the safest headlights to use are:
High beams reflect off fog and reduce visibility. Use low beams (and fog lights if equipped), and slow down.
10 A school bus ahead stops and turns on its flashing red lights on an undivided road. You must:
On an undivided road, traffic in BOTH directions must stop for a school bus with flashing red lights and remain stopped until the lights are turned off.

Alaska's exam runs 20 questions (16 to pass) covering right-of-way, road signs, and winter-driving judgment for ice, darkness, and wildlife. Read the Alaska Driver Manual once, then drill in short daily sets so DMV phrasing feels familiar.
Alaska starts the graduated system early; the knowledge test is taken in person at a DMV office.
A modest fee applies to retake the knowledge test.
The road test fee is collected separately when scheduled.
Alaska DMV offices accept card, cash, and check. Confirm current fees on the Alaska DMV site.
Local statutes to flag
Alaska brings extreme cold, ice fog, frost heaves, long winter darkness, and moose on the road. DMV questions like to test skid recovery, not overdriving your headlights, and giving wildlife room.
Book a DMV appointment, then arrive early with ID, SSN, residency proof, and consent forms. Use the wait to review winter-driving and wildlife questions, then check in calm and ready.
