What’s on the Oklahoma permit test?
The Oklahoma written exam is 40 questions long, all multiple choice. Pass mark is 70% - about 28 right. Material is straight from the Oklahoma driver handbook: signs, signaling, right of way, sharing the road, plus the Oklahoma-specific rules examiners like to ask about. Oklahoma’s DPS runs the test - 40 questions, 70% to pass - and right-of-way questions are well-represented.
It’s mostly factual. You’ll see questions about sign meanings, posted speed limits, signaling distances, and right-of-way order. A smaller block tests practical judgment in everyday driving scenarios.
Worth flagging: Oklahoma has handbook rules that other states don’t share. If your prep app is showing you a one-size-fits-all 25-question template, it’s not preparing you for the Oklahoma test.

Here are 6 practice questions in the Oklahoma format. Tap each to reveal the answer and the explanation. Want unlimited? Get the app.
Question 1: In Oklahoma, what must you do when you see a ‘School Zone’ sign with a flashing yellow light?
- Stop completely and wait for the light to stop flashing
- Turn on your hazard lights and proceed at normal speed
- Reduce your speed to the limit shown on the sign
Correct answer: Reduce your speed to the limit shown on the sign
Why: According to the Oklahoma driver’s manual, when you see the ‘School Zone’ sign, you must reduce your speed to the limit shown when the yellow light is flashing. You should also watch carefully for children and be ready to stop.
💡 Memory tip: Flashing yellow = slow down to school zone speed limit.
Question 2: What action should you take when you see a diamond-shaped warning sign indicating ‘Merge’ ahead in Oklahoma?
- Be ready to change your speed and lane so other drivers can merge safely
- Move to the left lane immediately
- Speed up to prevent other vehicles from merging
Correct answer: Be ready to change your speed and lane so other drivers can merge safely
Why: According to the Oklahoma driver’s manual, when you see a ‘Merge’ warning sign, other traffic may be moving into your lane. You should be ready to change your speed and lane so other drivers can merge safely. This promotes safe traffic flow and prevents collisions.
💡 Memory tip: Merge sign? Be the zipper. Adjust speed and lane so others merge safely.
Question 3: In Oklahoma, when must you yield to a blind pedestrian crossing the street?
- You must stop immediately, at least 15 feet away from the blind person
- You must slow down and honk your horn to alert them
- You must yield only if they are in a marked crosswalk
Correct answer: You must stop immediately, at least 15 feet away from the blind person
Why: According to the Oklahoma driver’s manual, drivers must give right-of-way to any blind person crossing the street. The law specifically states you should stop immediately and let the person pass, and a vehicle must stop 15 feet from a blind person in the roadway or at an intersection. You should also stop outside the crosswalk, not in it.
💡 Memory tip: Blind pedestrian? Stop immediately. 15 feet back, outside the crosswalk.
Question 4: When changing lanes in Oklahoma, what should you check after signaling your intention?
- Only the traffic ahead of you
- Look over your shoulder and check blind spots
- Only your rearview and side mirrors
Correct answer: Look over your shoulder and check blind spots
Why: The Oklahoma manual provides a detailed lane-changing procedure: after checking rearview mirrors and signaling, you must ‘Look over your shoulder in the direction you will be moving. Look behind you to both sides again. Check your blind spots.’ Mirrors alone cannot show everything in your blind spots, making shoulder checks essential for safe lane changes.
💡 Memory tip: Signal, then shoulder check; mirrors miss blind spots.
Question 5: In Oklahoma, what must you do when a traffic officer is directing traffic at an intersection with traffic signals?
- Stop and wait until the officer leaves the intersection
- Obey the traffic officer at all times, not the traffic signals
- Follow the traffic signals since they have priority
Correct answer: Obey the traffic officer at all times, not the traffic signals
Why: The Oklahoma driver’s manual clearly states that you must obey traffic signals, except when an officer is directing traffic. In that case, you must obey the traffic officer at all times, overriding what the traffic signals indicate.
💡 Memory tip: Badge beats bulb: follow the officer, ignore the light.
Question 6: According to Oklahoma regulations, a child who is 5 years old and 4 feet 7 inches tall must be secured by:
- A child passenger restraint system or a seat belt
- Only a regular seat belt
- No restraint is required at this age
Correct answer: A child passenger restraint system or a seat belt
Why: Oklahoma law requires that a child at least 4 years of age but younger than 8 years of age, if not taller than 4 feet 9 inches in height, must be properly secured by use of a child passenger restraint system or a seat belt.
💡 Memory tip: Two unders: under 8, under 4’9. child passenger restraint system or seat belt.
