The answer is "70 percent"
The Texas knowledge exam requires a grade of 70 percent or better, and the same threshold covers every class of knowledge exam. The 80 percent trap catches drivers who default to the classroom passing grade many schools use rather than the lower DPS mark printed under Part 1.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. 75 percent
Sits above the 70 percent DPS requires for any Texas knowledge exam. This answer carries over the three-quarters grade some school-district report cards treat as the passing floor rather than the lower DPS threshold.
C. 80 percent
Sits above the 70 percent passing mark the handbook prints for any knowledge exam. This answer defaults to the classroom passing grade many schools use rather than the DPS threshold printed in Part 1.
D. 85 percent
Well above the 70 percent DPS requires; no Texas knowledge exam uses this figure. This answer picks a strict A-plus mark familiar from school report cards instead of the DPS pass grade for the knowledge exam.
