Free Montana MVD Permit Practice Test 2025
- Perfect for learner’s permit, driver’s license, and Senior Refresher Test
- Based on official Montana Driver's manual
- Triple-checked for accuracy
- Updated for March 2025
To obtain a learner’s permit in Montana, you must first pass the vision screening and written permit test. The Montana learner driver’s permit test consists of 33 multiple-choice questions covering traffic laws, signs, signals, markings, safe driving practices, driving under the influence, and sharing the road. To pass the test, you must answer at least 27 questions (82%) correctly. In Montana, if you fail the test, you must wait 24 hours before taking it again (and pay the re-test fee), so use our Montana MVD permit practice tests to make sure that doesn’t happen.
In Montana, the Graduated Driver’s License (GDL) program is designed to incrementally introduce driving privileges for applicants under 18 instead of granting the full license immediately. The GDL program ends when you turn 18. Between your 16th and 18th birthdays, you’ll be in the Restricted License phase, which allows you to drive but not between 11 PM and 5 AM unless it’s for work, school, or a church event. Except for immediate family members, you cannot carry more than one passenger under 18 during the first six months, and no more than three passengers until you turn 18. Once these restrictions are lifted, you exit the GDL program and obtain a standard driver’s license.
Updated for March 2025, our free online Montana Permit Practice Test, which mimics what you will face on the official written test, will help you pass by providing questions and answers based on the Montana MVD 2025 Driver Handbook. Our practice tests provide instant feedback for missed questions and can be taken as many times as needed.
Once you’re ready, go to the Montana MVD with proof of identity (birth certificate or passport), proof of Montana residency (utility bill or rental agreement will suffice), proof of Social Security number, parental consent form if you’re under 18, and completion of traffic education if you’re under 16. Additionally, Montana requires you to complete a pre-application online to streamline the process at licensing offices. Submit the documents, pass a vision screening, pay the fee, and take the official written test.
Montana’s mountainous roads, rural highways, urban centers, and seasonal changes present a variety of driving challenges. Using our practice tests will help prepare you for these challenges as well as the official written test. Check out our other free Montana MVD permit practice tests!
