What is on the Washington test
180+ topics, drawn from the official Washington State DOL Driver Guide. The real exam samples across all of them, which is why practicing one theme at a time is not enough.

Right of way
Intersections, roundabouts, merging, and who goes first.
Passing and lane use
When passing is legal, when it is not, and how to do it safely.
Parking and stopping
Where you may stop, curb rules, and stopping distances.
Sharing the road
Railroad crossings, school buses, motorcycles, work zones and the move-over law.
Alcohol, drugs and penalties
Limits, the open-container law, marijuana, and what a DUI costs.
Occupant protection
Seat belts, child restraints, head restraints and airbags.
Difficult conditions
Skids, hydroplaning, ice, fog, night driving and visibility.
