  1. Sample 1 · Arkansas rule

    Arkansas: you stop at a four-way stop. Two cars reach their stop signs a few seconds after you. Who should go first?

    • You, because you stopped first
    • The car on your right
    • The car going straight
    • The largest vehicle
    Show answer

    You, because you stopped first. At an all-way stop, drivers go in the order they arrived and stopped.

  2. Sample 2 · Arkansas rule

    Arkansas: at an intersection with no signs or signals, you and a car approaching from your right arrive at about the same time. What do you do?

    • Go first; you are on the main road
    • Yield to the car on your right
    • Speed up to clear the intersection
    • The car on the right must yield to you
    Show answer

    Yield to the car on your right. At an uncontrolled intersection, when two vehicles arrive at about the same time, the driver on the left yields to the driver on the right.

  3. Sample 3 · National standard

    Red octagon STOP sign

    What does this sign require you to do? (Red octagon STOP sign)

    • Slow down and continue if no one is coming
    • Come to a full stop, then go only when it is safe
    • Stop only if other vehicles are at the intersection
    • Stop only when turning
    Show answer

    Come to a full stop, then go only when it is safe. An octagon is used for STOP and nothing else. It is placed where a full stop is always required, so you stop completely every time, then proceed only when you can do so safely.

What does the Arkansas test cover?

Every state tests road signs, signals and pavement markings (a national standard), right-of-way, and safe-driving practice, plus its own laws — parking distances, alcohol limits, school-bus and emergency-vehicle rules. The Arkansas Driver License Study Guide, Volume 1 (Edition 9) is the source of truth.
