What the Korean driving theory test actually asks
The Korean written test is a 40-question touchscreen exam covering traffic law, road signs, speed limits, alcohol rules, parking distances, priority at intersections and accident procedure. Class 2 Regular candidates need 60 out of 100 to pass and Class 1 Regular candidates need 70. It is available in English and several other languages, and you can retake it from the day after a failure. Use the free mock test below to find your weak categories before you go.

Languages offered
The test is delivered on a touchscreen and is available in English as well as several other languages, including Chinese and Vietnamese. Select your language before the test begins.
Topics
Korean traffic law questions you will see
The bank is broad but the weighting is predictable. These are where most of the marks sit.
Speed and distance
Urban 50, school zones 30, expressway minimums, and the reductions for rain, snow and fog.
Alcohol and penalties
The 0.03% suspension line, the 0.08% revocation line, and refusal of a breath test.
Priority and intersections
Who goes first, U-turn conditions, and yielding to emergency vehicles.
Parking distances
5 m from a hydrant, 5 m from an intersection, 10 m from a bus stop or crossing.
Safety equipment
Seatbelts in every seat, child seats under six, phones only hands-free.
Accident procedure
Stopping, assisting, reporting, and the consequences of leaving the scene.
Signs
Korean road sign questions in the written test
Learn the shape and colour logic first
Sign questions are the easiest marks on the paper if you know the system rather than memorising individual pictures. Red circles prohibit. Yellow triangles warn. Blue shapes instruct or guide. Once that is fixed, most unfamiliar signs become readable.
Penalties and licence points in Korean test questions
Heaviest consequences
Driving over the alcohol limit
Leaving the scene of an accident
Offences inside a school zone
Driving without a valid licence
How points accumulate
Penalty points attach to the driver and accumulate over time. Reaching the threshold within the counting period triggers suspension, and serious single offences can revoke a licence outright.

FAQ
Korean driving test practice — frequently asked questions
Is the Korean driving test available in English?
Yes. The written theory test is delivered on a touchscreen at licensing examination centres and can be taken in English, as well as several other languages including Chinese and Vietnamese. You select the language before the test starts.
What is the pass mark for the Korean written driving test?
Class 2 Regular candidates need 60 out of 100. Class 1 Regular candidates need 70 out of 100, because that licence covers larger vehicles such as 15-seat vans and trucks under 12 tons.
How many questions are on the Korean driving theory test?
Forty questions, in a mix of formats: single-answer multiple choice, two-answer multiple choice, illustration questions and short video hazard clips.
Is this mock test the official Korean question bank?
No. These are original questions written from current Korean traffic law to match the topics and difficulty of the official exam. They are designed to expose your weak areas, not to be memorised as a substitute for the real bank.
How soon can I retake the Korean written test if I fail?
From the day after the failure. That is much faster than the practical tests, where you must wait three days after failing the skills or road test.
Do I need to take a class before the Korean written test?
Yes. Three hours of road safety education are mandatory before you can sit the written test. We run that class in English every Saturday from 13:00 to 16:00 — arrive by 12:00 with your Alien Registration Card.
What do I get for passing the Korean written test?
A learner's permit, valid for one year. That is what allows you to begin practical training and eventually take the skills course test and the road driving test.
