Knowledge (Written) Test
Knowledge (Written) Test
The Nevada knowledge test for a Class C, non-commercial license consists of 25 multiple-choice questions.

KnowToDrive Nevada.
These results are transmitted to the DMV automatically for the purposes of issuing instruction permits or driver licenses. The test is available in both English and Spanish. Touch-screen devices are not compatible with the online exam - only computers with front-facing cameras or camera peripherals.
Knowledge tests are also available in DMV offices on touch-screen computers in English and Spanish. The system also offers audio.
