Free Alabama DMV Permit Practice Test 2025
- Perfect for learner’s permit, driver’s license, and Senior Refresher Test
- Based on official Alabama Driver's manual
- Triple-checked for accuracy
- Updated for January 2025
This DMV practice test has just been updated for January 2025 and covers 40 of the most essential road signs and rules questions directly from the official 2025 AL Driver Handbook. The Alabama DMV permit test will have 30 questions, and you’ll need to answer 24 of them to reach the 80% passing score. If you are preparing to take the knowledge test (written or computerized) to get either your Alabama learner’s license or driver’s license, make sure you bring the $5 fee with you to your license appointment. No checks are accepted. According to Alabama’s Graduated License Law, which took effect in 2002, anyone who is 15 years old can get a learner license. This type of license will help you learn to “safely and effectively operate a motor vehicle,” according to the Alabama Driver Manual. In order to get it, you need to pass the Alabama DMV written test (also known as the permit test). The format of our DMV practice test is just like the one you’ll take at the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s Driver License Offices. This practice test has 40 multiple-choice questions, and you’ll need to answer 32 of them correctly, for an 80% passing score.

That's why we've developed a meticulous process to create and continually update our practice questions, ensuring they reflect the most current driving laws and regulations.
Here's an inside look at how we maintain the highest quality in our practice tests.
Content Creation and Verification Process
- Alignment with Official Manuals:
Every question we develop is based on the most recent version of each state's official driving manual. Our team regularly monitors each state DMV's website for the latest updates to ensure our practice tests are always aligned with the most current information. - Community Feedback Integration:
We leverage feedback from our vast community of users to understand which topics are most frequently tested. This helps us focus on the areas that are most relevant and beneficial for your preparation. - Expert Content Creation:
Our in-house editor, Steven, who has extensive experience in driver education, crafts each question with precision. He conducts a thorough review of each question against the official manuals to ensure accuracy. - Rigorous Review Process:
Once Steven has finalized a set of questions, our team conducts a joint review session. This second level of scrutiny involves content accuracy, proofreading, and fact-checking to eliminate any errors. - User Feedback Mechanism:
After a question goes live on our site, we keep the lines of communication open. Each question features a feedback button, inviting users to report any issues or errors. This continuous feedback loop allows us to address and rectify any concerns promptly. - Responsive Updates:
In line with our commitment to accuracy, we quickly update our practice questions to reflect any changes in the DMV manuals. Additionally, we update the free electronic copy of the state's driver's license manuals on our site, typically within a few days after the DMV publishes them.
Our thorough quality control process ensures that you have access to practice tests that are as accurate and up-to-date as possible. We believe in the power of well-prepared drivers and are dedicated to providing you with the best study tools to help you succeed on your DMV exam.
