Oregon Practice Licensing Process

What is the minimum number of correct answers required to pass the Oregon Class C knowledge test?

  1. A.
    32.
  2. B.
    28. Correct
  3. C.
    20.
  4. D.
    25.
The Why

The answer is "28."

You must answer 28 of the 35 questions correctly to pass the Class C knowledge test: 80%. Missing 7 questions is the maximum that still allows you to pass; the eighth wrong answer is the failure threshold. Recalling a roughly 70% pass mark from other tests sends readers to D, but Oregon sets the bar at 28/35, not a lower count.

Why the others miss

The traps in the wrong answers

A. 32.

32 exceeds the minimum; 28 is the threshold. This answer inflates the requirement to roughly 90%; the manual states 28 correct is enough to pass.

C. 20.

20/35 is below the passing threshold. This answer confuses the passing score with a much lower bar; the manual sets 28, not 20.

D. 25.

25/35 is below the passing threshold of 28. This answer reaches for a roughly 70% pass mark; Oregon requires 28/35, not a lower count.
