Full-license written test — 95-question mock
The full-license (honmen) written test taken at a driver's license center has 90 text questions (1 point each) and 5 illustration questions (2 points each): 95 questions in 50 minutes, and you pass with 90 points or more out of 100. This page sets the same structure and judges pass or fail by the same standard. The illustration questions are hazard-prediction questions answered from a picture of the view from the driver's seat; each attempt draws 5 from 35 scenes.
The text questions are drawn from all 11 chapters of the Rules of the Road (the National Police Agency's official kyōsoku). Chapters that the provisional-license test leaves out, such as expressways and motorcycles, are in scope for the full-license test.
- ▸90 text questions (true/false) — 1 point each.
- ▸5 illustration questions — 2 points each. One picture has three statements, and you score only when all three are right.
- ▸Pass mark: 90 out of 100 — the same as the real full-license written test.
- ▸The time guide is 50 minutes, the same length as the real test.
- ▸The answer and an explanation appear after each question (practice mode). The real test shows no explanations.
- ▸Because this is practice mode, it does not affect your MenkyoQuest XP, Level, Streak, or HP.
An illustration question gives you a picture of the view from the driver's seat and a short description of the situation, and asks how you should drive next. Turning at intersections, the blind side of parked vehicles, wet roads at night, merging onto an expressway — it tests whether you can read where the danger is hidden.
Each picture has three statements. You mark each true or false and score 2 points only if all three are right; one mistake means 0. The five questions are worth 10 points, so even with a near-perfect score on the text questions, dropping the illustration questions can leave you below the pass mark.
When in doubt, think "the other person might move" or "someone might be where I can't see". Statements that assume everything will be fine and simply carry on are usually false.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the real full-license written test?
No — it is not the official test of the Public Safety Commission. It is a practice mock that MenkyoQuest wrote, with the help of AI, from the Rules of the Road (the National Police Agency's official kyōsoku, which is outside copyright under Article 13(ii) of Japan's Copyright Act). The questions will not appear as they are in the real test; the format and difficulty are modeled on it.
How are illustration questions scored?
Each question has three statements, and you get 2 points only if all three are right. One mistake means 0. The real test is scored the same way.
How many illustrations are there?
35 scenes: intersections, the blind side of parked vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists, rain, snow and low sun, expressways, railroad crossings, slopes and curves, roadworks, and more. Each attempt draws 5 of them. The full list, and practice with illustration questions only, are on the illustration questions page.
Is this the test for converting a foreign license?
No. The knowledge check for foreign-license conversion (gaimen kirikae) is a separate 50-question test with no illustration questions — practice it with the 50-question practice test. This 95-question mock is for people getting a Japanese license from scratch and taking the written test in English.
I don't have time to do 95 questions in one go.
You can quit partway, but your progress is not saved. When you only have a little time, the chapter quizzes (10 questions a round) are a better fit.
