Colorado Passing Score & Test Length

How many questions are on the knowledge test, how many you need to pass, and whether there is a time limit.

Passing score (%)

The passing score is not published. Neither the handbook nor the agency states one, so treat every question as one you need.

Number of questions

The number of questions is not published. Neither the handbook nor the agency states a count, so prepare for the whole manual rather than budgeting a number of misses.

Retake wait (days)

No fixed waiting period for a first retake, but the rule adds one if you miss badly: an applicant who misses more than half the questions on a first attempt must wait until the next day. The online at-home test may be taken as many times as needed, twice per day at most. Paper tests at a third-party testing site are capped at two per day and four in total, after which you must test at a state driver license office.
