How many points do you need to pass a driving test in Wisconsin?

I’m preparing to take my Wisconsin driving test in a few weeks, but I’m a bit worried about it. I know I can make a few mistakes, but I have no idea how many points I need to pass. What does my score need to be to pass a driving test in Wisconsin?

If you’re nervous about your test, you aren’t alone! Many people have pre-test anxiety, so breathe, remember your training, and you’ll do fine!
To pass a driving test in
Wisconsin
, you have to accumulate 25 points or less.
Every mistake when you drive is assigned a certain number of points. So if you add these up and it’s more than 25, you automatically fail and won't receive your driver's license (yet, anyway).
Bur the number of points you receive is dependent on the particular infraction and how severely you botched it. The maneuvers you’ll have to ace include:
  • Turns
  • Lane changes
  • Driving in various zones (school, residential, construction)
  • Y-turns
  • Roadside starting and stopping
  • Parallel parking and regular parking
  • Reversing
  • Driving in parking lots
If you can manage to keep your cool throughout the process, you shouldn’t have any issues. While up to 50% of people fail their driving test the first time, you don’t have to become another one. Just stay calm and remember your training to pass the test the first time around.
