Michigan Learner's Permit Practice Test

Michigan Dept. of State "What Every Driver Must Know" (SOS-133) driver manual, October 2025 edition (michigan.gov/sos); Michigan Compiled Laws (legislature.mi.gov, live text), including MCL 257.602b (handheld phone), MCL 257.602c (Kelsey's Law), MCL 257.625 (BAC/OWI), MCL 257.626 (reckless driving), MCL 257.710d as amended by 2024 PA 21 effective April 2, 2025 (child restraint); official michigan.gov SOS GDL and points pages — content researched and verified 2026-08-18. IMPORTANT EXAM-FORMAT CAVEAT: Michigan's written test is structurally confirmed split (Operator/knowledge section ~45 min + Signs section ~15 min, per the official SOS "New drivers (18 and older)" page), but the exact question counts and passing percentage for the standard adult test are NOT published on any official michigan.gov page — only the CDL test (30 questions/80%) and the teen Segment 1 exam (70%) have official numbers. Re-verification attempted again 2026-08-20 (direct fetch of michigan.gov/sos subpages) was blocked (403 responses on all attempted URLs this session) rather than yielding a negative result, so treat this specific gap as unresolved-by-access rather than confirmed-absent; it should still be revisited when official adult-test figures become reachable. This module uses the research doc's recommended estimate (signCount: 10, signPassCount: 8, ruleCount: 40, rulePassPct: 0.80, drawn from third-party sources citing ~50 total questions/80%) as a reasonable placeholder — revisit if Michigan publishes official adult-test figures. The old Driver Responsibility Fee program is confirmed repealed (accelerated elimination effective Oct 1, 2018) and is NOT presented as current law anywhere in this content; the current MCL 257 points table is used instead. Other known gaps deliberately worked around rather than invented: no dollar fine figure was found for a general seat belt violation (r34/r35 describe enforcement type only, no fine amount is asserted); no quantified truck/bus no-zone footage was found (sharing-category content instead uses the confirmed stopping-distance comparison); no statewide curb-color convention was found (parking content omits curb colors entirely, unlike Virginia's module); no lane-use/reversible-lane control signal specifics were found (omitted from signals content). CONTENT AUDIT 2026-08-20: r107 (signs) was rewritten — the prior version tested what the driver manual cites as its own sourcing (MUTCD) rather than a real driving fact; it now tests the standard orange-means-construction-zone MUTCD convention instead, keeping the same id so existing users' progress on that card is preserved. EXAM FORMAT RE-CHECKED 2026-08-22, LARGELY UNVERIFIABLE: michigan.gov/sos confirms the STRUCTURE for applicants 18+ — "You will need to pass two portions of the test: The Operator section... and the Signs segment" — which supports modelling a separate sign section, but Michigan SOS publishes NO question count and NO passing threshold for either portion. signCount 10 / signPassCount 8 / ruleCount 40 are all UNCONFIRMED ESTIMATES. Note also a real audience mismatch this app does not model: under-18 Michigan teens do not take an SOS knowledge test at all — they take the Segment 1 state exam through their driver-education provider, where "A score of at least 70% on the Segment 1 state exam is required to pass the course" (michigan.gov/sos/license-id/new-drivers-under-18). The two-portion format above is the 18+ path. Re-verify periodically, as SOS manuals, fees, and thresholds change over time.
