North Carolina Permit Practice Test Four 2025
- Perfect for learner’s permit, driver’s license, and Senior Refresher Test
- Based on official North Carolina Driver's manual
- Triple-checked for accuracy
- Updated for March 2025
Business or pleasure? Are you primarily interested in obtaining a driver’s license so you can commute to work in the Research Triangle via Interstate 40 or Charlotte’s financial centers via Interstate 77 or 85? Or do you want to drive for fun and sightseeing along the Blue Ridge Parkway or the Cherohala Skyway?
Whatever your driving plans, the requirements for a license are the same. One requirement is to pass the official DMV knowledge test. Unfortunately, in 2020 – 2023, 43.6% of applicants failed the knowledge test on their first try. Evidently, just reading the official driver’s manual (North Carolina DMV Handbook (NC Driver's Manual) 2025) before the knowledge test did not prepare them well enough to pass it.
We have created learning tools to supplement the official driver’s manual. This is our fourth North Carolina Permit Practice Test. Like our first three permit practice tests, it’s intended to help aspiring drivers like you pass the DMV knowledge test and road signs test. Like the official tests, all these practice tests are multiple choice. You must choose the best or most complete answer for each question. Like the official knowledge test, these practice tests are based on the official North Carolina driver’s manual, and their passing score is 80%.
Our AI Assistant can help you with any practice test question. If you get stuck on a question, ask it to elaborate or give you a hint. You can also ask it your own questions about driving. If you still miss the question, the AI assistant will give you the correct answer and an explanation.
Do you wish you had a PDF list of the exact North Carolina questions and answers you’ll encounter on your official knowledge test? Unfortunately, we can’t make one. The DMV randomly draws test questions from a vast pool of available questions. It’s impossible to predict which questions it will draw for your test.
However, our practice test questions have proven close to the official questions. And we have two PDF “cheat sheets” (in the sense of quick references, not for actual cheating!) that you can download: “The Top 100 Most Common US DMV Questions” and “The 121 Most Common US Road Signs Questions.” These are the questions most likely to appear on your knowledge test. It’s a safe bet that at least some of them will be there. Each question listed comes with the correct answer, which you should study and memorize.
Finally, we have a fifth North Carolina Permit Practice Test for you. Please give it a try!
