Am I Ready for the Oklahoma Permit Test?
12-question diagnostic · 4 easy, 4 medium, 4 hard · Updated July 12, 2026
Twelve questions, deliberately mixed: four easy, four medium, four of the hardest in our verified Oklahoma bank. The real test needs 75% — but a diagnostic this short needs a margin, so read your result like this: 10+ of 12, you're ready to book; 8–9, you're close — drill the 25 hardest first; below that, work the full test ladder before test day.
Answer each question to see the explanation. Your score is tallied against the real passing bar at the end.
1. Which driving ability does alcohol affect almost immediately?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: Your judgment
Alcohol moves quickly into your blood, and your driving skills — especially your judgment — are affected almost immediately. Alcohol puts good judgment on hold, so you do not know when you have had too much until it is too late.
2. Who is required to have an Oklahoma driver license?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: All residents who operate a motor vehicle on any Oklahoma street or highway
The manual states that all residents who operate a motor vehicle on any Oklahoma street or highway must have an Oklahoma driver license.
3. Why does the manual treat parking as an important safety skill and not just a convenience?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: An improperly parked car can roll, gain speed, destroy property or kill someone
Not all collisions are driving errors. An improperly parked car can roll, gain speed, destroy property or even kill someone, so securing your vehicle every time you leave it matters.
4. If your license is suspended or revoked, you may:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: Not legally drive until your license is reinstated and restored
If your license is suspended or revoked, you cannot apply for a new license until you are reinstated and you cannot legally drive until your license is restored. Driving on a suspended or revoked license is a serious crime.
5. Which of these drinks contains the same amount of alcohol as the others?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A 12-ounce can of beer, a 5-ounce glass of wine and a shot of 1.5 ounces of 80-proof spirits all contain the same amount
It is not what you drink, it is how much. A 12-ounce can of beer, a 5-ounce glass of wine and a cocktail with 1.5 ounces of 80-proof spirits all contain the same amount of alcohol.
6. A new resident who moves to Oklahoma with an out-of-state license must:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: Apply for an Oklahoma Driver License when they establish residency
Drivers with an out-of-state license must apply for an Oklahoma Driver License when they establish residency. Once you establish residency, your vehicles must also be registered in Oklahoma.
7. You must dim your high beams to low beams within what distance of a vehicle you are following?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: 600 feet
Dim your high beams to low beams within 600 feet of a vehicle you are following, so your bright lights do not blind the driver ahead through their mirrors.
8. Even if you are driving at the posted speed limit, you can still be violating the Basic Speed Rule if:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: Conditions such as rain, fog, or darkness make that speed unsafe
The Basic Speed Rule means the posted limit may still be too fast for conditions. For example, 65 mph may be too fast on a rainy night on a two-lane highway. If you can’t stop in time, you are breaking the Basic Speed Rule even within the posted limit.
9. How far from a blind person in the roadway must a vehicle stop?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: 15 feet
Drivers must give the right-of-way to any blind person crossing the street. A vehicle must stop 15 feet from a blind person in the roadway or at an intersection. Blind pedestrians often use a white cane or a guide dog.
10. When driving a car with a standard (manual) transmission down a steep hill, you should:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: Put the car in a lower gear to help slow it down
When going down steep hills, put your car in a lower gear so the engine helps slow you, rather than relying only on the brakes. Coasting down a grade in neutral or with the clutch pushed in is a violation of Oklahoma law.
11. A revocation under the Oklahoma Implied Consent Law can last:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: From 180 days to 2 years, depending on your previous driving record
If your license is revoked under the Implied Consent Law, the revocation period runs from 180 days to 2 years, depending on your previous driving record.
12. The Compliance Division of Service Oklahoma was created to:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: Work with drivers who will not or do not know how to drive safely, using self-improvement and safer-driving techniques
The Compliance Division works with drivers who will not or do not know how to drive safely. If you drive carelessly or unsafely, you may be required to appear for a Compliance Hearing and complete a safety course.
