Free DC DMV Diagnostic Test 2025
- Perfect for learner’s permit, driver’s license, and Senior Refresher Test
- Based on official District of Columbia Driver's manual
- Triple-checked for accuracy
- Updated for April 2025
It doesn’t take an act of Congress to get a driver’s license in District of Columbia. However, if you have designs on cruising the roads inside the Beltway, it would be wise to make sure that you are familiar with the rules and regulations that drivers need to obey. Unless you can demonstrate your knowledge and ability to operate a vehicle safely, you’ll be left relying on public transportation or strolling your way around the DMV Region.
Once you decide you are ready to find a more efficient way to travel, you’ll need to get a District of Columbia driver’s license. District of Columbia requires you to answer 80% of the 30 questions correctly to receive a passing score on your official driver’s knowledge test. While the answers to some of the test questions are rather obvious, you might be surprised to learn there are others that may require some thought. Without exceptional preparation, you may find yourself one wrong answer away from having someone save you a seat on the Metro. Fear not! There is a resource available to you offering expertly designed preparation with a proven track record.
Our free District of Columbia DMV Driving Diagnostic practice test, based on the most recent Driver’s Manual (District of Columbia DMV Handbook (DC Driver's Manual) 2025), is ready to help you absorb all the knowledge you will need to pass your official test on the first attempt. With questions just like the ones on the official knowledge test, the practice test consistently outperforms any study guide. The practice test is up to date as of April 2025 and includes 15 of the most commonly missed questions on the official test. You will receive detailed instruction on any wrong answer you submit, which will help you understand how to correct your mistake. This interactive process is a more effective method of committing the information to your memory instead of merely memorizing the answer. You’ll be on the fast track to becoming an expertly trained Washington driver.
For anyone desiring to explore beyond Capitol Hill, the Mall, or the Inner Loop, you can find practice tests for states throughout the nation at https://driving-tests.org/academy/drivers-license.
