In Hawaii, regardless of your age, you must pass three official tests before you may apply for a driver’s license: a vision test, a written knowledge test on driving theory, and a road test. Before applying for a license, you must first obtain an instruction permit if you’re under 18 or your county (e.g., Kauai) requires it. You must be at least age 15½ to get a permit. It will allow you to practice driving under supervision. You must pass the vision and knowledge tests for an instruction permit. (If you hold a permit, you just have to pass the road test for a license.) If you’re under 18, you must also get consent from your parent, guardian, or other responsible adult.

The official Hawaii DMV written test has 30 multiple-choice questions based on the official driver’s manual (Hawaii DMV Handbook (HI Driver's Manual) 2025). The passing score is 80%. The test covers traffic signs and signals, Hawaii traffic laws, the rules of the road, and safe driving practices.

This is the second of five Hawaii Permit Practice Tests. We designed all these Permit Practice Tests to help aspiring drivers like you pass the DMV knowledge test. This practice test is multiple choice, up to date as of March 2025, and based on the official Hawaii driver’s manual. It has 40 questions on driving emergencies, passing, pavement markings, right-of-way rules, road signs, roundabouts, sharing the road, traffic signals, and other topics.

Feel free to call on our AI Assistant for help with any practice question. You can ask it for a hint or a clarification. You can also ask it your own questions about driving. If you still miss the question, the AI assistant will give you the correct answer and an explanation.

We also have two PDF “cheat sheets” (in the sense of quick references, not for actual cheating!) that you can download: “The Top 100 Most Common US DMV Questions” and “The 121 Most Common US Road Signs Questions.” You will likely encounter some of these questions on your knowledge test. The correct answer is provided for each question listed.

Finally, we also offer our own Hawaii Permit Test Study Guide to help you get ready for the day of your Hawaii knowledge test. It covers what documents to take to the DMV, what fees you may have to pay, how to prepare yourself mentally and physically, frequently missed knowledge test questions, and other last-minute tips.

Our commitment to accuracy and quality in our practice tests

Explore our rigorous, multi-tiered verification process that ensures each question mirrors the official manual for unparalleled accuracy.

Written by Andrei Zakhareuski Updated over a week ago

At Driving-Tests.org, we understand the importance of reliable and accurate practice tests to help you prepare for your DMV exam. 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.
