Test Your Knowledge with These Driving Test Practice Questions
Taking online practice tests is an easy way to gain the knowledge you need to pass the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) written driving test. Practice tests can quiz you on any of the information found in the Driver’s Handbook relevant to your state. The Handbook covers all of the knowledge you need to pass the test and become a safe driver.
About the Test
The written knowledge driving test is a multiple-choice test, containing approximately 45 questions. You must get 70% of the questions right to pass. Each state produces its own version of the driving knowledge test, as some of the information on these tests is specific to the traffic laws in that state. These concepts are taught in driver’s ed courses.
Practice tests are widely available online and are often posted by state motor vehicle agencies as well as by private driving education sites. Practice tests use many of the same questions as found on real DMV tests and cover the same areas of knowledge, so in many ways, they accurately mirror the real test.
