Alaska Learner's Permit Practice Test

RE-RESEARCHED 2026-08-20 following a prior pass that never reached a single official source. dmv.alaska.gov, doa.alaska.gov/dmv, dps.alaska.gov, akleg.gov (including /basis/statutes.asp and /basis/aac.asp), law.justia.com, regulations.justia.com, casetext.com, and web.archive.org were ALL retried this session and are still unreachable (403 or a hard client-level block) — the domain-level block on the two main state legal sites has now failed to clear across three separate sessions. However, this pass reached several sources the prior pass did not try: codes.findlaw.com (Alaska Statutes mirror, reachable and used to pull verbatim AS 28.35.xxx text section-by-section via its Previous/Next Part of Code navigation, which let the whole chapter's section range be mapped rather than guessed blind); law.cornell.edu/regulations/alaska (a Cornell LII mirror of the Alaska Administrative Code, reachable, verbatim text); dot.alaska.gov (official Alaska Dept. of Transportation site, reachable, independent of the blocked dmv.alaska.gov/akleg.gov domains); and online.dmv.alaska.gov (a live official DMV subdomain that, unlike the main dmv.alaska.gov site, is NOT blocked). The session's WebSearch tool was exhausted (200/200 budget) before this task began, so search results were retrieved instead by fetching search.brave.com result pages directly via WebFetch — this is how the Cornell/dot.alaska.gov/online.dmv.alaska.gov URLs were found. FOUR PREVIOUSLY-MISSING CORE TOPICS NOW SOURCED AND ADDED (r111-r122): default speed limits — 13 AAC 02.275(b), confirmed independently on both law.cornell.edu's AAC mirror and dot.alaska.gov's own public 'How are speed limits set' page (both agree verbatim): 15 mph in an alley, 20 mph in a business district, 25 mph in a residential district, 55 mph on any other roadway, absent a posted sign; 13 AAC 02.275(a)'s basic reasonable-and-prudent rule was also used to add a citation to the pre-existing r06. Right-turn-on-red — 13 AAC 02.010 (traffic-control signal legend, Cornell mirror, verbatim): after stopping, a driver may cautiously turn right on a steady red signal (or left, only from a one-way street onto another one-way street), yielding to vehicles/pedestrians already in the intersection or an adjacent crosswalk, unless a sign or signal prohibits it. Headlight-use requirements — AS 28.35.191 (findlaw, verbatim (a)-(c)): required from a half-hour after sunset to a half-hour before sunrise, whenever weather/light keeps people or vehicles from being clearly seen at 1,000 feet, or on an AS 19.10.075 traffic safety corridor; violation is an infraction. School bus stop-arm law — AS 28.35.145 (findlaw, verbatim (a)-(e)): stop at least 30 feet from a bus with flashing red lights and stay stopped until it moves and the lights go off; yield to a crossing student whether or not in a marked crosswalk; a divided-highway/separate-roadway exception applies; violation is a class B misdemeanor with 6 demerit points, and the owner/lessee can separately be cited for an infraction up to $100. MOCK EXAM CONFIG NOW CONFIRMED (not estimated): online.dmv.alaska.gov's own 'Sample/Practice Knowledge Test' page states the General Knowledge Test directly — 25 minutes, 20 questions, 16 correct to pass (80%) — and this was independently corroborated by four unrelated third-party test-prep sites (driving-tests.org, dmv-permit-test.com, dmv-written-test.com, drivewise.io), all citing the same 20-question/16-correct figures with no dissent found anywhere. No source (official or third-party) describes a separate sign-only portion — it is a single unified general-knowledge pool — so signCount/signPassCount remain 0 and ruleCount is now 20 (down from the prior pass's unconfirmed placeholder of 30), rulePassPct 0.8. AUDIT OF PRE-EXISTING CONTENT (r01-r110): every rule was reviewed; none tests knowledge about the manual/handbook document itself rather than a real driving fact, so nothing needed replacement under that criterion. Spot-re-verified this pass against findlaw's verbatim statute text with no discrepancies found: AS 28.35.030 (DUI), AS 28.15.221 (points thresholds), AS 28.15.051/.055/.057(b) (GDL), AS 28.35.235 (disability parking), AS 28.35.185 (Move Over), AS 28.35.155 (studded tires), AS 28.35.161 (device use), AS 28.35.280 (zero-tolerance), AS 28.05.095 (seat belt/child restraint) — all previously PRIMARY-sourced content stands unchanged. The speed/signs/right-of-way categories' generic, non-AK-cited physics and uniform-rule content (stopping distance, following distance, MUTCD sign shapes/colors, uncontrolled-intersection right-of-way) is left as-is per this project's standing convention that signage and core right-of-way law are nationally standardized — this was a deliberate choice in the prior pass, not a guess, and remains correct. GAPS STILL DELIBERATELY NOT INVENTED: exact per-violation point values in the points table beyond the confirmed 12mo/24mo/50%-notice/highest-only/excluded-categories framework; parking distances from a fire hydrant, crosswalk, or stop sign (likely codified in 13 AAC 02.xxx but a specific section was not located within this session's fetch budget); bicycle safe-passing clearance distance (same — likely in 13 AAC 02 but not located this session). These remain genuine open items for a future pass now that law.cornell.edu/regulations/alaska has been established as a working, citable AAC mirror — start there next time rather than re-attempting akleg.gov. Verified 2026-08-20. EXAM FORMAT DOWNGRADED 2026-08-22: an independent pass found NO official Alaska statement of a Class D / instruction-permit question count or passing score. Both ruleCount 20 and rulePassPct 0.8 are UNCONFIRMED ESTIMATES. Specific caution for the next pass: the widely repeated 'Alaska requires 80%' figure traces to the Alaska COMMERCIAL driver (CDL) manual, whose 'minimum passing score for all knowledge tests is 80%' governs commercial tests — do not carry it over to the Class D test as if confirmed, which is how it appears to have entered this module.
