DMV Practice Tests by State

Last updated:

Every state writes its own written knowledge test, which is why the number of questions, the passing score, and even the topics emphasized are different depending on where you live. Some states ask as few as 18 questions while others ask 50, and passing scores range from roughly 70% to 88%. That is why practicing with questions built around your own state’s format matters: the test you rehearse should look like the test you take.

All 50 states below are live, free, and require no account. Each card shows the state’s question count and passing score, with links to the practice test, the step-by-step permit guide, and the official driver handbook. Questions are original educational examples based on official handbook topics; they are not the actual official exam questions.
