1 What score is required to pass the Idaho (ITD) knowledge test?
Idaho requires a higher 85% (34 of 40 questions) to pass.
2 Deer and elk often cross rural Idaho highways at dawn and dusk. The safest habit is to:
Scan the shoulders, slow down where wildlife signs are posted, and brake rather than swerve if an animal appears.
3 On a steep canyon downgrade you should:
Use a lower gear and engine braking on long descents to keep your brakes from overheating.
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.

Idaho sets a higher bar—40 questions and 85% (34 correct) to pass—covering right-of-way, road signs, rural highways, and mountain driving. Read the Idaho Driver's Manual once, then drill in short daily sets so you clear that tougher threshold.
Idaho starts the supervised system early with driver education; the knowledge test is taken in person at a county DMV office.
A modest fee applies to retake the knowledge test.
The skills test is part of the supervised licensing process.
County DMV offices accept card, cash, and check. Confirm current fees with your county office.
Local statutes to flag
Idaho brings snowy mountain passes where chains are often required, black ice, and deer and elk on rural highways at dawn and dusk. ITD questions like to test downgrade braking, scanning for wildlife, and winter following distance.
Finish driver education, then book a county DMV appointment. Arrive early with ID, SSN, residency proof, and consent forms. Use the wait to review mountain-driving and sign questions—you need 85%—then check in calm and ready.
