Driver's License Test Prep
Oregon Practice Licensing Process

You have been taking the Oregon knowledge test online. After how many total online attempts must you switch to taking the test at a DMV office?

  1. A.
    After 2 attempts in a 24-hour period.
  2. B.
    There is no limit; you can keep taking the test online indefinitely.
  3. C.
    After 1 online attempt.
  4. D.
    After 4 total online attempts. Correct
The Why

The answer is "After 4 total online attempts."

If you fail an online Oregon knowledge test, you may test two times in a 24-hour period and four times total online. After four attempts you must test at a DMV office. The rule pairs a daily limit with a total online cap, so memorize both numbers.

Why the others miss

The traps in the wrong answers

A. After 2 attempts in a 24-hour period.

Two attempts in a 24-hour period is the daily limit on retakes. The total online cap is four attempts, and only after four must you test at a DMV office. This answer conflates the two-tests-per-24-hour daily limit with the four-attempt total online cap; the manual pairs both numbers in the same passage.

B. There is no limit; you can keep taking the test online indefinitely.

The manual sets a four-attempt ceiling, after which you must test at a DMV office. This answer ignores the four-attempt total online cap and the in-office switch requirement.

C. After 1 online attempt.

The manual allows up to four total online attempts, not one. This answer confuses the four-attempt total cap with a single-attempt limit.
