- Triple-checked for accuracy
- Updated for May 2025
This Massachusetts RMV practice test has just been updated for May 2025 and covers 20 of the most essential road signs and rules questions directly from the official 2025 MA Driver Handbook. A passing score on this MA permit practice test is 72%, just like on the official test. On the official Massachusetts RMV Test, there are 25 questions, so you must answer 18 of them correctly. You will have 25 minutes to take the test on one of RMV’s automated test stations (ATS). These kiosks have video screens that will deliver the RMV written test questions to you visually. You will need to pay $30 for your learner’s permit test fee. You must both have your valid learner’s permit and not have any blemishes on your driving record for six consecutive months before you can take your road test. You must also meet a list of several other requirements to get your Junior Operator’s License, which is for Massachusetts drivers between the ages of 16 and 18. Getting your Junior Operator’s License requires paying a fee of $50.
