This Maine DMV practice test has just been updated for May 2024 and covers 40 of the most essential road signs and rules questions directly from the official 2024 ME Driver Handbook. In order to drive in Maine, you’ll be required to pass the official ME DMV test. It’s also known as the DMV permit test, driving test, DMV written test, driver’s license test, or simply the driver’s test. The Maine written knowledge test consists of 30 multiple-choice questions regarding rules of the road, road safety, pedestrian and bicycle safety guidelines, driving under the influence laws, and more. You must score an 80% or better to pass by correctly answering at least 24 of 30 multiple-choice questions based on the 2024 Maine Driver’s Guide. If you are at least 15 years of age, you may apply to get your learner’s permit and take the knowledge test. When you’re ready to take your tests, you must bring an application form, two proofs of identification, proof of residency, a birth certificate for those under age 23, a certificate proving you’ve completed a driver education course if you’re under age 18, and the $10 fee. The Maine BMV will process your application and schedule a time at your local BMV office within the next three weeks. Unlike most states, the process to take the written driver’s test can take a while, so it’s important to study. To help you prepare, we’ve designed this ME DMV practice test — use it as your first step to prepare for the official exam.
