MS DMV driver's license

Free Mississippi DMV Permit Practice Test 2025

  • Perfect for learner’s permit, driver’s license, and Senior Refresher Test
  • Based on official Mississippi Driver's manual
  • Updated for February 2025

Looking to obtain your Mississippi learner’s permit? The first step is to pass the vision screening and written permit knowledge test. The test consists of 30 multiple-choice questions covering road signs, traffic laws, safe driving practices, and state-specific regulations, as outlined in the state’s Mississippi DMV 2025 Driver’s License Manual. To pass, you must score at least 80% (24 out of 30 questions), and testing must take place in person at the DMV. Failing the test means waiting until the next business day and paying a retesting fee, so use our practice resources to ensure that doesn’t happen.
In Mississippi, the process begins with a temporary permit granted to 14-year-olds enrolled in a driver education course, which is only valid when driving with their course instructor. Mississippi has implemented a Graduated Driver’s License (GDL) program, which gradually introduces driving privileges to persons under 18. At age 15, you can apply for a learner’s permit after passing the vision screening and written knowledge test. With a permit, you’re allowed to drive when accompanied by a licensed driver who is at least 21 years old. After holding the learner’s permit for at least 12 months, drivers 16 and older who have completed their driver education course can apply for an intermediate license. This license allows you to drive without supervision from 6 AM to 10 PM. At other times, you must be accompanied by a licensed driver aged 21 or older. After holding the intermediate license for six months and turning 17, you can apply for an operator’s license with no restrictions.
Our free online Mississippi Permit Practice Test mimics real exam conditions with questions and answers based on the state manual and is updated for February 2025. Instant feedback for incorrect responses is provided to speed the learning process. Once you’re ready, go to the DMV with proof of identity (birth certificate or passport), proof of Social Security Number (the official card is required), and two proofs of residency (utility bill, etc.). If you’re under 18, you’ll need a Certification of School Compliance (Form DL-108) and a Parent/Guardian Consent Form (signed by both parents if they have complete custody). Submit the documents, pass a vision screening, pay the fee, and take the official written test.
