The Wyoming Road Signs & Driver Knowledge Test is the written exam administered by the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) Driver Services that new drivers must pass on the way to a full license. It covers road signs and rules of the road drawn from WYDOT's official driver manuals, and it's taken by first-time applicants as well as out-of-state drivers whose previous license has lapsed for too long.

Overview

The written knowledge test is a single combined exam rather than a signs-only test: it draws its road-sign and rules-of-the-road questions from WYDOT's driver manuals, with the specific manual depending on the license class being sought.

  • Class C — Rules of the Road
  • Commercial Class A, B, and C — Heavy Vehicle Manual
  • Class M (motorcycle) — Motorcycle manual

Applicants who have difficulty reading can take the test orally, since Wyoming's automated testing system reads the questions aloud over the phone. If you fail, you can retake the same written test up to two times in one day.

Cost and registration

A Class C learner's permit costs $45, a restricted (hardship) permit costs $25, and renewing a Class C license or permit costs $35. Other license and endorsement fees vary, so confirm current pricing on WYDOT's official fee schedule before you apply.

Exam format

WYDOT does not publish an official total question count or passing score for the written test, so treat any specific figure you see elsewhere with caution. What is grounded: the intermediate permit must be held for at least six months, or until age 17, before advancing, and applicants must log 50 hours of behind-the-wheel driving, including 10 hours at night, before moving beyond a permit. For the exact question count and scoring standard, check the current Vehicle Operators' Manual and the official testing page.
