How many questions must I get right to pass?

You need approximately 23 of 28 on road signs, 22 of 28 on rules of the road, and 6 of 8 on vehicle controls. Every section must be passed individually — a high score in one cannot compensate for a fail in another.

Is the learner's test multiple choice?

Yes — every question is multiple choice, answered on a touchscreen terminal at the testing centre.

Q: How many questions are in the learner's licence test?

The South African CLLT has 64 scored questions — 28 road signs, 28 rules of the road and 8 vehicle controls — judged per section (pass marks: 23/28 signs, 22/28 rules, 6/8 controls). Before the scored test you complete a short unscored demo to get used to the touchscreen. You answer the remaining 64 on your own, and those are the ones that count.

The CLLT session contains 64 questions in total — 28 road signs, 28 rules of the road, and 8 vehicle controls. The first 4 are an unscored demo answered with the examiner before your test begins. You answer the remaining 64 on your own, and those are the ones that count toward your result.

The CLLT structure at a glance

Section	Total in session	Scored (on your own)	Pass mark
Road signs, signals & markings	30	~26–28	23
Rules of the road	30	~26–28	22
Vehicle controls	8	8	6
Total	68	64	Pass all three sections

The crucial rule: each section must be passed on its own. Scoring 100% on signs and rules will not save you if you get fewer than 6 of the 8 vehicle-control questions right.

What are the 4 demo questions?

Before the scored test starts, the eNaTIS system runs 4 practice questions with the examiner present. These do not count toward your result — they exist purely so you can feel how the touchscreen responds before anything is at stake. Think of them as a free warm-up lap. Once the examiner starts the real test, the timer begins and your 64 scored questions appear one by one.

Why do some sources say 64 questions?

Because 64 is the number you answer on your own Official guides count the scored test as 64 questions (28 signs + 28 rules + 8 controls); the short demo beforehand is unscored and separate. When people say "the test is 64 questions" they mean the scored portion. Official guides count the CLLT as 64 scored questions (28 signs + 28 rules + 8 controls); the short demo beforehand is separate and unscored.

How much time do you get?

Typically about an hour for the full test — enough for under a minute per question. Practising under a timer is the single best way to make the real clock feel like a non-event.
