Free Permit Practice Tests for Every State

Before you can get behind the wheel, every US state makes new drivers pass a knowledge test — a multiple-choice exam on road signs, right-of-way, speed limits, and safe-driving laws, usually taken at your state's licensing agency. This site gives you free, exam-style practice tests for all 50 states and DC, written from each state's official driver handbook and rules, with a plain-English explanation for every answer.

Pick your state to see its 2026 requirements — how many questions, the passing score, the minimum permit age, and fees — each verified against the state's own licensing agency and dated, so you know it's current.

What's on a permit test?

Every state writes its own exam, but they draw from the same core: what road signs mean by shape and color, who yields at intersections, safe following distance, speed rules, parking restrictions, and the penalties for driving after drinking. Most states pull their questions straight from the official driver handbook — which is exactly what our practice questions are grounded in, with a citation behind every fact.

Take a practice test the way you'd take the real one: no notes, one honest answer at a time. Then read the explanations for anything you missed — that's the fastest way to turn a near-pass into a pass.
