What to expect in North Carolina

Separate written-knowledge and traffic-sign tests

North Carolina DMV requires a written knowledge test and a separate traffic-sign test. A failed regular Class C knowledge test has a seven-calendar-day retest wait.

Live component details are unpublished

The audited official sources do not publish the live component counts, component thresholds, combined passing percentage, answer-choice count, delivery mode or binding time limit. This site leaves those values unspecified.

Original TLA practice blueprint

This held mock uses 30 questions, a 24-correct learning target and an eight-sign/22-rule split. Those values are transparent Trusted Local Auto study choices rather than North Carolina live-exam claims.

Frequently asked questions

Is the North Carolina Class C Knowledge practice test free?

Yes. All 230 questions, with their answers and explanations, are free, and so are the 5 numbered practice tests. You do not need an account to practise. You get 1 free exam simulation, and 2 with a free account. A free account also keeps your progress on all your devices. The optional Exam Pass is a one-time payment for one test and 90 days, not a subscription. It adds practice tools: practice by topic, practice of missed and saved questions until you get them right, more exam simulations, a timed exam simulator and a chance-to-pass score.
