DMV practice tests by state

Prepare for your permit test with practice questions based on your state's driver handbook. Each answer comes with an explanation and a link to the source.

35 states so far, more coming soon.

All states

States marked “soon” get a test only after its questions are checked against the official driver handbook, so the other 16 states will follow. Until then, each of them links to the steps for a first license in that state.

How the tests work

  • Questions come from your state's official driver handbook and, where the law has changed since, from the current state statute.
  • Every answer is explained, with a link to the page it comes from.
  • Each test has as many questions as your state's knowledge exam and the same passing score; where a state doesn't publish one, the page says so.
  • Free, with no sign-up. Nothing you answer is saved.

DMV Decoded is an independent guide, not a government agency. Your actual test will have different questions.
