MA RMV Written Test Simulator – Study Online 2025

Perfect for learner’s permit, driver’s license, and Senior Refresher Test
Based on official Massachusetts Driver's manual
Triple-checked for accuracy
Updated for March 2025

In Massachusetts, you must obtain a learner’s permit before you may apply for a driver’s license. To obtain a learner’s permit, you must meet a series of requirements. First, you must complete an application and submit it at an RMV Service Center. (Your parent or guardian must sign it if you’re under 18.) Also provide your Social Security number, proof of your citizenship or lawful presence in the United States, and proof of your Massachusetts residency. Pay the appropriate fees. Then you must pass a vision exam and a learner’s permit exam.

The Massachusetts learner’s permit exam has 25 questions based on the official driver’s manual (Massachusetts RMV Handbook (MA Driver's Manual) 2025). The exam tests your knowledge of Massachusetts motor vehicle laws and safe driving practices. It has a 25-minute time limit, and the passing score is 72%.

Unfortunately, failure happens all too often. The RMV reported that in 2022, about 30% of applicants – nearly one-third – failed the Massachusetts learner’s permit test.

To ensure that aspiring drivers like you pass, we’ve created a test preparation program with a suite of interactive test preparation tools to help you learn and memorize all the information you need to pass the permit test. Our premier tool is a comprehensive series of practice tests covering the information in the manual, with an automated assistant that can provide you with hints and explanations to help you answer the practice test questions.

Now it’s time to show that you really are ready to take the official permit test!

This Exam Simulator test runs in Simulated Exam Mode, resembling official exam conditions. The test consists of 25 questions based on the official manual, just like those on the official RMV permit test. The passing score is 72%, just like the official permit test. Unlike our other practice tests, the Exam Simulator test ends prematurely if you fail it (i.e., if you miss more than 18% of the questions). There are no hints, explanations, or other aids to help you answer the test questions. On this test, you’re on your own, just like on the official test!

Do you tend to experience test anxiety when taking official tests? This Exam Simulator will reduce your fear of the unknown with a realistic permit exam experience and show how well you perform under realistic exam conditions. This will build your confidence and lessen your anxiety about the official learner’s permit test.

Good luck!

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.
