1 What score is required to pass the Missouri (DOR) knowledge test?
Missouri requires 80% (20 of 25 questions) to pass.
2 For drivers under 21 in Missouri, driving with a BAC of 0.02% or more:
Missouri's zero-tolerance rule suspends the license of an under-21 driver with a BAC of 0.02% or higher.
3 Approaching a roundabout, you should:
Yield to circulating traffic, enter in a gap, and travel counter-clockwise to your exit.
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.

Missouri’s 2026 test blends metro pace with rolling countryside
Missouri drivers bounce from St. Louis river bridges to Springfield hills and Kansas City’s loop ramps. The 2026 Driver Guide update increased focus on distracted driving, Move Over enforcement, and flood-prone roadways. Shape your study plan in three blocks: urban (I-70/I-64 interchanges, KC downtown loop, streetcar sharing), Ozark terrain (steep grades on Hwy 65, runaway truck ramps, wildlife crossings), and river corridor hazards (Mississippi/Missouri River flood closures, fog, and barge traffic at crossings). The app ties answers to Missouri Revised Statutes so you see exactly why a choice is correct. End each session by comparing point-system penalties with GDL curfews-blended prompts like that boost retention for the 25-question exam.
Pre-flight checks before you tackle Missouri’s 25 questions
Score at least 20 correct answers (80%)-exams are untimed but typically finished within 15–20 minutes.
Expect questions about I-70 express lanes and St. Louis work zones with narrow shoulders-know Move Over requirements and speed reductions.
Ozark driving prompts cover steep downgrades, wildlife on US-60, and safe passing on two-lane ridges.
Floodplain scenarios emphasize never driving around barricades on MO-94 and how to report flooded roads to MoDOT.
At least one item references alcohol penalties and the state’s point system-memorize license impact for DWI/DUI and zero tolerance for minors.
Minimum age
Instruction permits are available at 15 with parental consent and proof of driver education enrollment or supervised driving plan.
Permit fees
$10 instruction permit (Class F) fee due when the permit is issued after you pass.
No additional fee; simply return the following business day.
Driving tests are free at MSHP stations; third-party testers may charge service fees.
Bring cash or money order for permit issuance at revenue offices-some locations accept card with a convenience fee.
Retest rules
You may retake the knowledge exam the next business day. Four failures in 12 months trigger a supervisor review before further testing.
Local statutes to flag
RSMo 304.022 – Move Over law for emergency and maintenance vehicles.
RSMo 302.304 – Point system and license suspension thresholds.
RSMo 577.010 – Driving while intoxicated penalties, including zero tolerance for minors.
Weather cues Missouri exam writers love
Spring flooding on the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers can swallow rural highways-expect reminders to heed barricades and find alternate routes. Ozark winters bring black ice on US-65; learn gentle braking and extra following distance. Summer humidity triggers sudden thunderstorms on I-44-questions reinforce using headlights and slowing gradually to avoid hydroplaning.
Imagine your Lee’s Summit exam morning
You arrive before doors open, grab a queue ticket, and review note cards while examiners set up. After the vision screen, you take the paper test. The first prompt covers the KC downtown loop-thanks to last night’s practice, you know exactly how to merge. A flood detour question pops up later; you recall the MoDOT advisory and mark the correct choice with confidence.
