How many questions must an applicant answer correctly to pass Pennsylvania's Knowledge Test?
- 15 of 18
- 12 of 18
- 16 of 18
- 17 of 18
Answer: 15 of 18. Pennsylvania's Knowledge Test contains 18 multiple-choice questions, and an applicant needs 15 correct responses to pass. The option saying 12 of 18 understates the required score, while 16 and 17 set a higher bar than PennDOT's stated threshold. Think of the test as allowing only three missed questions. A practice session that produces 14 correct answers is still short, even though it is more than three quarters of the exam. Keep the pair 18 questions and 15 needed together when checking your result.
