This North Carolina DMV practice test (commonly known as “DMV practice test NC”) has just been updated for June 2025, offering a comprehensive preparation tool that simulates the actual NC drivers license test. To legally drive in North Carolina, you’ll need to pass what is commonly referred to as the DMV permit test. It’s also known as the DMV permit test, driving test, DMV written test, driver’s license test, or simply the driver’s test. There are 25 questions on the North Carolina learner’s permit test, and you must answer 20 of them correctly to achieve the 80% passing score you need to get your permit. As North Carolina has a Graduated Driver’s License (GDL) Program, there are several types of learner’s permits. The youngest age at which you may be eligible to drive a vehicle with a Limited Learner Permit, which will only allow you to drive when supervised, is 15 years old. It will cost $20, and in addition to other requirements, you will need to pass a knowledge test. There are several requirements for each phase of the GDL program, so check the 2025 North Carolina Driver’s Handbook or NCDOT website before you apply. In order to pass the knowledge test, you will need to study the handbook, and it will also help to take DMV practice tests like this one. To help you prepare, we’ve designed this NC DMV practice test -- use it as your first step to prepare for the official exam. Covering 20 essential road signs and rules questions directly from the official 2025 NC Driver Handbook, this practice test is a reliable way to prepare for your NC permit test. And remember: there can never be too much practice. Whether you’re a first-time applicant or looking to renew, our NC permit practice test is designed to mimic the structure and content of the official NC DMV test, setting you up for success.
