The practice test randomly generates 25 questions from the Arkansas State Police Driver License Study Guide and test and presents the results upon completion. Users are presented with another set of 25 questions chosen at random each time they take the test. 

Users can take the practice exam via the website or download the free app available for both iOS and Android devices.

Using this hands-free, voice-enabled approach, users can simply say the answers to the questions asked by the assistant and get instant feedback on their results.
