Looking 6

Did not look back reversing Backed up on the camera or the mirrors alone. Look back through the rear window while the car moves; the camera and mirrors are extra checks.
Late to spot a hazard You saw it clearly first: a person stepping off the curb, a car door opening, brake lights two cars ahead. Count it when the learner reacted late or not at all.
Looking marks The 5 looking rows added for each drive. If this is the high group, have the learner say aloud what is coming up (signs, side streets, people near the road) for a whole practice drive.
Missed a sign or marking Did not react to a sign, a signal or a pavement marking: a lane that ends, a turn-only arrow, a school zone, a no-turn-on-red plate.
No scan of the intersection Drove into an intersection, across a crosswalk or over a driveway without looking left, right and left again. A green light does not excuse it.
No shoulder check Moved sideways on the mirrors alone: pulled out from the curb, changed lanes or merged without a look over the shoulder into the blind spot. Count it even when the road was empty.

Signals, stops and right of way 6

Did not yield right of way Went ahead of a driver, a cyclist or a person on foot who had the right of way, or made one of them slow down. Waving others through out of turn counts too.
No signal Turned, changed lanes, pulled out or pulled in to the curb with no signal at all.
Rolled through a stop sign The wheels never fully stopped at a stop sign, or before a right turn on red. If you had to call it out, add one to the test-ending row as well.
Signal and right-of-way marks The 5 rows on signals, stops and right of way added for each drive. If this is the high group, the gap is rules more than car handling: go back over right of way in your state's driver manual together.
Signal late or left on The signal started once the car was already braking or turning, or was left blinking after the move.
Stopped past the line Came to a full stop, but with the front of the car over the stop line or into the crosswalk.

Speed and space 6

Following too closely Closed up on the vehicle ahead, or stopped so near it in a line of traffic that its rear tires could not be seen over the hood.
Hesitated with the way clear Sat at an intersection while safe gaps went by, or crawled well under the limit on a clear road with no reason.
Jerky start or harsh stop Lurched away, stalled, or braked late and hard enough to tip the passengers forward.
Over the posted limit Faster than the posted limit, a school-zone or work-zone limit included, for more than a moment.
Speed and space marks The 5 speed and space rows added for each drive. If this is the high group, practice easing off early: pick the stopping point well ahead and brake once, gently.
Too fast for the conditions At or under the limit, but too fast for rain, darkness, a blind hill, a narrow street of parked cars or people near the road.

Position and parking 6

Car not secured when parked Took the foot off the brake before the car was in park (or in gear with a manual) and the parking brake was set, or left the front wheels pointing the wrong way on a hill.
Drifted out of the lane Drifted onto a lane line or the shoulder, or wandered from side to side within the lane.
Parked far out or crooked Pulled in to the curb, a parallel space or a marked bay and ended at an angle, well out from the curb or over a line. Your state's driver manual may give the distance it expects.
Position and parking marks The 5 position and parking rows added for each drive. If this is the high group, an empty lot with two cones is the place to practice before more street driving.
Touched the curb or a marker A tire bumped the curb, or the car touched a cone, a flag or a space marker while parking or turning around. A hard hit or a wheel up on the curb also goes in the test-ending row.
Turn wide, short or wrong lane Swung wide, cut the corner, started the turn from the wrong lane or finished it in the wrong one.

Total and test-ending actions 2

Test-ending actions Add one each time you had to step in by word, wheel or brake, and for any collision, a hard hit on the curb included. This is our own practice rule, not any state's list. The number is kept out of the total on purpose: no count of small marks makes up for a drive that needed a rescue.
Total marks for the drive All four groups added together, one mark a mistake. It is a practice number for comparing your own drives. It is not a state score and no pass line is printed.

Weighted sheet: each mistake judged small, serious or dangerous 17

Looking: dangerous (5 each) Did not see someone who was there: a person in the crosswalk, a cyclist alongside or a car in the blind spot had to brake or swerve, or you had to step in.
Looking: serious (3 each) A check skipped with others about: pulled out or changed lanes unseen while a car was coming, still far enough off that it did not have to slow.
Looking: small (1 each) A check skipped with nobody near: no shoulder check on an empty street, or a sign noticed late with no effect on anyone.
Looking: weighted marks Small, serious and dangerous looking mistakes, each times its weight.
Position: dangerous (5 each) Crossed into the path of oncoming traffic, climbed the curb, or the car rolled because it was not secured.
Position: serious (3 each) Finished a turn in the wrong lane with traffic about, or drifted over a lane line with a vehicle alongside.
Position: small (1 each) A turn a little wide or short with nobody near, a tire brushed the curb, or a park that ended crooked.
Position: weighted marks Small, serious and dangerous mistakes of position and parking, each times its weight.
Signals: dangerous (5 each) Went through a stop sign or a red light, or took the right of way, so that someone braked hard or swerved.
Signals: serious (3 each) Rolled a stop sign with the intersection empty, stopped in a crosswalk people were waiting to use, or made a driver with the right of way ease off.
Signals: small (1 each) A signal forgotten or late with nobody near, or a full stop a foot over the line with nobody crossing.
Signals: weighted marks Small, serious and dangerous mistakes with signals, stops and right of way, each times its weight.
Speed: dangerous (5 each) Carried clearly too much speed past a school, a crosswalk or a work zone, or braked so late that you called out or reached for the wheel.
Speed: serious (3 each) Followed so closely that a sudden stop ahead would have been hard to handle, or held a speed too high for the rain or the street.
Speed: small (1 each) A few miles an hour over for a moment, one jerky start or a stall, or a safe gap let go by.
Speed: weighted marks Small, serious and dangerous mistakes of speed and space, each times its weight.
Weighted total for the drive The four weighted groups added together. One dangerous mistake counts as much as five small ones. The weights are this site's own, not any state's, and no pass line is printed.

Skills checklist, stage 1: parked and in an empty lot 6

Backs up in a straight line Looks through the rear window, keeps to walking pace and holds the car straight for several car lengths.
Finds every control by feel Lights, wipers, defroster, hazard lights, horn and parking brake, each found without looking down.
Seat, mirrors and belt set Before the engine starts: seat and head restraint adjusted, all three mirrors set and the belt on, without being asked.
Smooth starts and stops Moves off without a lurch and brakes early enough that the car settles to a stop with no nod of the head at the end.
Stage 1 score (of 15) The five empty-lot skills added together, of 15. Stay in the lot until most of them score 2 or 3.
Steers a line and a curve Holds a straight line between two rows of parking spaces and steers a curve with both hands, eyes up where the car is going and not on the hood.

Skills checklist, stage 2: quiet streets 6

Full stops at stop signs The wheels stop completely behind the line. If the view is blocked, the car then creeps forward and stops again.
Left turns Waits with the wheels straight, yields to oncoming traffic and turns into the correct lane without cutting the corner.
Pulls in and secures the car Signals, stops close to the curb and parallel to it, then park or gear, parking brake, engine off.
Pulls out from the curb Signal, mirrors, a look over the shoulder, then a smooth move into the lane.
Right turns Signals early, slows before the corner, stays close to the curb and finishes in the nearest lane.
Stage 2 score (of 15) The five quiet-street skills added together, of 15. A low number here means more time on empty streets before busier roads.

Skills checklist, stage 3: parking and turning around 6

Backs out of a driveway Looks all around, backs slowly and yields to everything in the street, people on foot included.
Parallel parks Backs into a space between two markers or two cars without touching the curb, and ends close to it.
Parks in a marked space Drives in forward and ends centered between the lines, first in an empty lot and then beside parked cars.
Parks on a hill Turns the front wheels the right way uphill and downhill, with a curb and without one, and sets the parking brake.
Stage 3 score (of 15) The five parking and turning-around skills added together, of 15. They are slow-speed skills, so a lot or a dead-end street is enough to raise the number.
Three-point turn Turns the car around on a quiet street in as few moves as the street allows, looking both ways before each move.

Skills checklist, stage 4: busier roads 6

Changes lanes Mirror, signal, a look over the shoulder, a steady move across and the signal off, without slowing the traffic behind.
Four-way stops, right of way Knows who goes first at a four-way stop and at an unmarked intersection, and takes the turn without waving others through.
Keeps a safe following gap Counts the gap to the vehicle ahead and opens it up in rain or behind a truck. Your state's manual says how many seconds it teaches.
People on foot, bikes, buses Slows for crosswalks, gives cyclists room, and obeys school zones and stopped school buses.
Stage 4 score (of 15) The five busier-road skills added together, of 15. Hold the no-coaching mock test until stages 1 to 4 mostly score 2 or 3.
Traffic lights and arrows Stops smoothly for a yellow when there is room, waits behind the line, and knows a green arrow from a plain green on a left turn.

Skills checklist, stage 5: higher speeds 6

Exits a highway Signals early, moves into the exit lane and slows on the ramp, not before it.
Holds speed and lane Keeps a steady speed near the limit and the car centered in its lane for several miles.
Merges onto a highway Uses the ramp to reach the speed of the traffic, picks a gap, signals and merges without stopping.
Passes and is passed Passes only where it is legal and clear, and holds a steady line and speed when a truck goes by.
Rural curves and hills Slows before a curve and not in it, and keeps to the right over the crest of a hill.
Stage 5 score (of 15) The five higher-speed skills added together, of 15. Check what your permit allows on highways first, and start on a quiet stretch at a quiet time of day.

Skills checklist, stage 6: conditions and the mock test 6

Drives at night Switches between low and high beams at the right times, looks toward the right edge of the road when headlights approach, and drives within the distance the lights show.
Drives in rain Lights and wipers on, a longer following gap, and gentler braking and steering than on a dry road.
Follows spoken directions Drives a route you call out one or two turns ahead, as a passenger giving directions would, with no other coaching.
Full mock test, no coaching A whole drive with no coaching unless safety needs it. Tick the Tally sheet on paper at stops, and talk the result through once the car is parked.
Roundabouts, rail crossings Yields to traffic already in a roundabout. At a railroad crossing, looks both ways and never stops on the tracks.
Stage 6 score (of 15) Night, rain, roundabouts, spoken directions and the full mock test added together, of 15. Check your permit's rule on night driving first.

Skills checklist: score and hours so far 4

All hours so far Day and night hours added together for each check.
Day hours so far Copy the daytime total from your practice log, if your state asks for one. Quarter hours are fine: type 12.25 for twelve and a quarter.
Night hours so far The hours driven after dark, from the same log. No state's required hours are printed here, so check your own state's rule.
Skills score (of 90) All six stages added together, so each check shows how far the learner has come since the last one.

Scoring key 11

Dangerous mistake Real danger: someone braked hard or swerved, or you had to step in. When you stepped in, add one to the test-ending row too.
Hours so far Copy them from your practice log, if your state asks for one. No state's required hours are printed here.
Not tried yet Leave the box empty or type 0.
On their own Right every time, with no word from you.
Serious mistake It could have caused danger, or another road user had to slow down or steer around the car.
Small mistake No one was put at risk and nobody else had to react.
Test-ending row You had to step in, or the car hit something. Our own rule.
Unofficial practice sheet Not any state's form. No pass line is printed.
The weights 1, 3 and 5 They are this site's own, not any state's.
With help You talk the learner through every step.
With reminders The learner does it, with a prompt now and then.

How this list was compiled: This is an unofficial practice sheet: it prints no state's form, point values, pass line or required hours, and no state document stands behind any line of it. Our own work: the rows and their wording; the four groups, which sort mistakes by driving habit (looking; signals, stops and right of way; speed and space; position and parking); the 30 skills and their six stages; the test-ending rule (the supervising driver had to step in, or the car hit something); and the weights 1, 3 and 5. One idea is borrowed: judging a mistake at three levels follows the driving, serious and dangerous faults of the British driving test as GOV.UK describes them, https://www.gov.uk/driving-test/driving-test-faults-result, checked on 2026-09-19 and again on 2026-09-20. The definitions of small, serious and dangerous are our own wording. One sentence in the page copy, that Missouri law hands road tests to the highway patrol, rests on section 302.173 RSMo (the director of revenue delegates the examinations for a license or permit to members and employees of the highway patrol), https://revisor.mo.gov/main/OneSection.aspx?section=302.173, checked on 2026-09-20.

How it works

This driving test score sheet is unofficial practice, not any state's DMV road test scoring sheet. The supervising driver your permit requires rides along, marks 20 common mistakes in four groups and compares up to six drives.

Read the full guide

Score a mock road test

1. Press Print blank sheet.

2. Name each drive with its date.

3. Ride along without coaching, once the learner scores 2 or 3 on stages 1 to 4 of the Skills checklist.

4. Safety outranks the mock test: speak up or take over the moment you need to, and count it in the test-ending row.

5. Once parked, type in the counts. The group with the most marks is the habit to practice next.

Tally, Weighted or Skills checklist

Tally sheet: one mark a mistake. Weighted sheet: you judge each mistake small, serious or dangerous, worth 1, 3 or 5 (our weights, no state's). Skills checklist: 30 driving skills to practice, each rated 0 to 3, on two printed pages.

Keep your eyes on the road: tick on paper at stops, or fill in the phone sheet once parked.
A rolled stop goes in its own row, and in the test-ending row too if you had to step in.
A drive's name box holds 24 characters, enough for a date and a route.

Questions and answers

How many points to pass a driving test?

There is no national number: each state writes its own road test and its own rule for passing it. Look for your state's driving test pass score in its driver manual or on its licensing agency's site. This sheet prints no pass line.

What are DMV road test points?

They are the marks a state's examiner records during the road test. Each state sets its own, so one state's DMV scoring sheet says nothing about another's. Not every examiner works for a DMV: Missouri law, for one, hands road tests to the highway patrol.

Is this the driving test exam sheet my state's examiner fills in?

No. It is an unofficial practice sheet of our own, and it copies no state's form, point values or pass line. For what your examiner marks, read your state's driver manual or its licensing agency's site.

What counts as a test-ending action?

On this sheet: any moment the supervising driver had to step in by word, wheel or brake, and any collision, a hard hit on the curb included. It is our own practice rule, not a state's list, and the count stays out of the total.
