About the North Dakota Defensive Driving & Hazards test

Defensive driving is the habit that keeps you crash-free long after the exam, and this North Dakota DMV practice test builds it deliberately.

How many questions are on the North Dakota permit test? Twenty-five, and you need 80% (20 correct) to pass, according to the North Dakota DOT (NDDOT) and the North Dakota Driver License Manual.
