On the test
What score does the Utah Traffic Safety and Trends exam require?
100 percent. This is a second paper, sat separately, and nothing less than every question right will clear it. Utah Driver Handbook 2026-2027, p.23: “All first-time applicants (learner permit holder) obtaining a Class D license will be required to pass an additional test and receive 100% score on this test.”
How this works
Most practice tests hand you a bank of questions and leave the manual somewhere else. This one puts them together.
You read one law and the reason behind it, then answer a question on that law while it is still fresh. Get it right and you move on; get it wrong and you have found the gap while it is cheap to fix, not on the morning of the exam.
Learning one rule at a time, and proving it immediately, is what turns a manual you skimmed into something you actually know — and it makes studying feel like getting somewhere rather than like waiting to find out.
