You must answer at least 27 of the 33 written-test questions correctly, which is an ~82% passing score.
How much does the Montana knowledge test cost?
Credential fees vary according to age and the period for which the credential is issued. Consult the current MVD licensing-fee table for the amount that applies to you.
Can I take the Montana permit test online?

What should I bring to the Montana MVD office?
Bring hard-copy documents proving your identity, authorized presence and Montana residency. You must also know your Social Security number so it can be verified. Applicants under 18 need consent from a parent, guardian or responsible adult before testing.
