License Conversion Practice Questions | 21 Practice Questions with Answers for the 50-Question Knowledge Test [2026 Edition]

Here are 21 practice questions for the knowledge test (50 questions) required for converting a foreign driver's license, with answers and explanations. They are taken from the 946 questions in Drivey's License Conversion course and follow the actual test scope. The pass rate is 42.8%: nearly 6 out of every 10 people fail. But the reason is not Japanese ability. It is the difference between Japan's traffic rules and the rules back home, and where people stumble depends on their country. Drivers from Indonesia, Thailand, and Nepal already drive on the left, like Japan, so they don't make mistakes there. Drivers from Vietnam, China, the Philippines, and Myanmar do, and Myanmar has a situation that is rare anywhere in the world. We sorted the questions by topic: which way to go around a roundabout, pedestrian priority at crosswalks, the definition of "slow driving," railroad crossings, no-stopping distances, yellow lights, and the Japanese wording trap where "in principle" and "under no circumstances" flip the answer. Information is current as of September 2026.

The Knowledge Confirmation for Foreign License Conversion (50 Questions) | What's Tested, the Pass Rate, and How to Prepare (2026)

A guide to the 50-question knowledge confirmation required for foreign license conversion in Japan: what is tested, the passing score, and how to prepare. The October 2025 reform raised it from 10 questions to 50, and the pass rate has fallen to 42.8%. The skills confirmation is now even harder at 13.1% — but if you are converting to a moped license, there is no skills confirmation and no safety course at all. Start with the first thing to check (whether your country is among the 29 exempt), then read about the document review that comes before the test, how this differs from the moped written test (58.7%), and where applicants lose points. Current as of September 2026.
