Delaware writes its own knowledge exam from its own manual — the Delaware Driver Manual (Class D), which the Division of Motor Vehicles says covers the rules of the road, road signs, and the basic knowledge required for a Class D license. Delaware has two first steps, and this page covers both: the Class D learner’s permit (the adult/first-license route, earned by passing the eye screening and knowledge exams at the DMV) and the Level 1 Learner’s Permit for 16- and 17-year-olds, which runs through an approved driver education course. The practice set here is the Delaware slice of PassProfessor’s free Driver’s License Practice Tests: 293 original questions built only from the Delaware Driver Manual, organized by the manual’s own sections.
What’s included
Delaware only, from Delaware’s handbook. A question that helps in another state can mislead in Delaware, because speed limits, following distances, blood-alcohol rules, and permit steps differ by state. That is why this program is not one national bank. It is 50 separate state banks — 14,848 questions in total — and the Delaware set was built from Delaware’s current official driver handbook only. When you open this page’s practice set, you practice only Delaware material.
293 questions for Delaware. The Delaware bank holds exactly 293 practice questions, counted from the bank file on October 31, 2026. Every one of those 293 questions carries an explanation — 293 of 293 with a non-empty explanation, coordinator-verified — so when you miss a question you can read why the keyed answer is right before you move on.
Organized by the handbook’s own sections. The set follows the structure of the Delaware Driver Manual (Class D) (Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles), so you can study section by section in the same order the handbook teaches the material, then mix sections together the way the real test does. The full section-by-section map is in the table below.
Free practice, with no price attached. This is a free program in PassProfessor’s Free Practice hub. There is no purchase price for this practice test, and nothing on this page should be read as implying a charge for it. Joining the notify list is only about being told when the Delaware set opens.
Built to be re-checked when the handbook changes. Delaware revises its handbook, and a practice question that matched last year’s edition can drift. This bank is tied to the handbook edition named in the internal record for this package, and future refreshes re-check against the same official source.
The real test at a glance
Current as of October 2026, from the Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles (dmv.de.gov) — its Drivers License / Identification Cards pages and Teen Driving / Graduated Driver License pages, and the Delaware Driver Manual (Class D) (July 2026 edition, the edition this bank was built from). Your state’s handbook and agency are the authority — if anything here differs from them, they are correct.
| Licensing agency | Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) |
| First license steps | Class D Learner’s Permit (DMV eye screening + knowledge exams) — and, for ages 16 to under 18, the Level 1 Learner’s Permit through approved driver education |
| Knowledge exam | Two-part knowledge exam per the Delaware Driver Manual: Highway Sign and Signal Test + Rules of the Road Test |
| Level 1 minimum age | 16 years old (and under 18), with a completed approved driver education course, Blue Certificate, and a sponsor’s signature |
| Class D permit validity | 12 months from issuance |
| Handbook | Delaware Driver Manual (Class D) |
- For teens, driver education is the doorway. A Level 1 Learner’s Permit is issued to applicants 16 up to 18 who have completed an approved Driver Education Training Course, passed the written and road tests given by a driver education instructor, been certified as qualified (the Blue Certificate), and have a sponsor to sign the application. Delaware does not issue a license to anyone under 18 who has not completed a Department of Education-approved driver education course.
- For the Class D route, the DMV tests you. The DMV states the learner’s permit is issued after successful completion of the eye screening and knowledge exams and payment of the required fee; the permit runs 12 months, you drive with a licensed driver 21 or older beside you (no more than two other passengers), and after passing the knowledge exam you must wait a minimum of 10 days before the road skills exam.
- The manual’s exam is two tests in one. The Delaware Driver Manual (Section Two, “The Driver Examination”) describes a two-part knowledge exam — a Highway Sign and Signal Test and a Rules of the Road Test. This practice set mirrors that split: Section Four (Rules of the Road, including the sign material) and Section Two (Driver License Information) carry the largest practice weight below.
How the practice maps to the real test
The set follows Delaware’s handbook sections. Work through a section in the handbook, then practice that section here; finish with mixed sets drawn from across the handbook, the way the real knowledge test mixes topics.
| Handbook section (bank label) | Practice questions |
|---|---|
| Section Four — Rules of the Road | 99 |
| Section Two — Driver License Information | 98 |
| Section Five — Driving Skills and Safety Tips | 58 |
| Section Three — Vehicle Equipment, Titles, Registration, and Insurance | 20 |
| Section One — Introduction | 18 |
| Total — Delaware | 293 |
How to use it
- Join the notify list today. When the program opens, start with Delaware — not a neighboring state, and not a generic national set. State selection is the whole point of this program.
- Get Delaware’s current handbook first. Download or pick up the current edition of the Delaware Driver Manual (Class D) (Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles) from the Delaware DMV. It is the document your test is built from.
- Practice topic by topic. Work through the handbook sections in order using the map above. When a practice question surprises you, find that rule in your handbook and read the surrounding section, and read the explanation on the question.
- Then practice mixed. Once the sections feel familiar on their own, take mixed sets that pull from across the handbook, the way the real knowledge test does. A rule you only recognize inside its own chapter is not yet learned.
- Confirm your test-day facts from the state, not from practice sites. Before you go, check the Delaware DMV’s official pages for the current question count, pass mark, minimum age, required documents, and fee. Those facts change, and your state’s agency is the only authority for them.

Frequently asked questions
What is the first license step in Delaware?
It depends on your age. At 16 or 17, the first step is the Level 1 Learner’s Permit under Delaware’s Graduated Driver License program, earned through an approved driver education course (Blue Certificate) with a sponsor. On the Class D route, the first step is the DMV learner’s permit, issued after you pass the eye screening and knowledge exams and pay the required fee.
How old do I have to be for a Delaware Level 1 Learner’s Permit?
At least 16 and under 18 years old (or on an active IEP, at least 16 and under 22). You must also present a Delaware Driver Education Certificate (Blue or White Certificate) proving you passed a certified Delaware driver education course, and have a sponsor sign your application.
What is on the Delaware knowledge exam?
Per the Delaware Driver Manual, the knowledge exam has two parts: a Highway Sign and Signal Test and a Rules of the Road Test — covering the manual’s rules of the road, road signs, and the basic knowledge required for a Class D license. This practice set is built from that same manual, section by section.
How many questions are on the Delaware knowledge exam, and what score passes?
The Delaware Driver Manual describes the exam’s two-part structure but states no total question count and no pass mark, and the DMV pages verified for this page do not publish them either — so we do not state them. Prep-site figures were not used. Study the whole Delaware Driver Manual and confirm the current format with the DMV.
How long is a Delaware Class D learner’s permit valid?
Twelve months from the date of issuance, per the DMV. While learning, you must be accompanied by a licensed driver at least 21 years old seated beside you, with no more than two other passengers in the vehicle. If you do not pass the road exam within the twelve months, you reapply for the permit and complete all required testing again.
How soon can I take the Delaware road test after the knowledge exam?
After passing the Class D knowledge exam, you must wait a minimum of 10 days before you can take the road skills exam, per the DMV.
Are these the actual Delaware test questions?
No. Every PassProfessor practice question is original, written from the published Delaware Driver Manual. The state does not publish its live test questions, and we never use actual test items or another provider’s bank.
Is this practice really free?
Yes. This Delaware set is part of PassProfessor’s free Driver’s License Practice Tests program in the Free Practice hub. There is no price for the practice tests themselves. The notify form only signs you up to be emailed when the program opens; it is not a purchase. (State permit and license fees charged by the DMV are separate and are set by Delaware, not by PassProfessor.)
When will the Delaware practice set be available?
The bank is complete, and the program opens as the catalog expands. Join the notify list on this page and we will email you when it opens. It will be free when it opens.
What should I study besides practice questions?
The Delaware Driver Manual (Class D), cover to cover — it is free at any Division facility and on the DMV website. Use the section map on this page to study in the manual’s order, and read the manual sections behind any question you miss. If you are 16 or 17, plan on the driver education course as well: it is the required route to the Level 1 permit.
