How many questions can I get wrong and still pass the DKT?

You can make a maximum of 6 mistakes total across both sections: General Knowledge Section (15 questions): Maximum 4 wrong answers allowed, Road Safety Section (30 questions): Maximum 2 wrong answers allowed. This means you need at least 39 correct answers out of 45 total questions to pass. If you exceed the error limit in either section, the test will terminate automatically.

How many times can I retake the DKT if I fail?

You can retake the test unlimited times until you pass, all covered by your initial test fee. However, you must wait at least 12 hours between attempts. After each failed attempt, you'll be shown the correct answers to help you prepare for your next try.

What are the consequences of cheating on the DKT?

If caught cheating, you face serious penalties: 6-week ban from taking any driving test, Forfeit your test fee and must pay again when eligible, Cheating includes receiving unauthorized help or using prohibited materials during the test

Can I start driving immediately after passing the DKT?

Yes, once you pass the DKT and receive your learner's licence, you can begin practicing driving immediately. However, you must always drive with a qualified supervisor who holds a full Australian driver's licence.

What makes the DKT challenging for many test-takers?

The main difficulty stems from unfamiliarity with Australian road rules, traffic signs, and safe driving practices. Approximately 30% of all DKT attempts result in failure. Success requires thorough study of the official road rules and understanding of local traffic laws, rather than relying solely on general driving knowledge.
