    Our free online Tennessee DMV Permit Practice Test, updated for {current-month} 2025, is your best resource to prepare for the knowledge (learner’s) permit test issued by the DMV. This free driver’s license practice test features questions and answers derived from the Tennessee DMV 2025 Driver Handbook. The Tennessee learner’s permit test consists of 30 multiple-choice questions comprising four sections: road signs and signals, road rules, drugs and alcohol, and safe driving practices. To pass, applicants must answer at least 24 questions correctly (80%). In Tennessee, there are also online options for taking the knowledge test. This is something you might look into further with your local DMV.
    Tennessee has implemented a graduated driver’s license (GDL) program for applicants under 18 that introduces additional benefits (and responsibilities) incrementally instead of the full license at once. To obtain a learner’s permit in Tennessee, you must first pass the vision screening and written permit test, so this preparation really marks the beginning of your process to become a fully licensed driver.

    In Tennessee, the GDL program has three steps: the learner’s permit, during which your driving must be supervised; the Intermediate Restricted License, during which your driving is restricted to daylight with restrictions on carrying passengers; and the Intermediate Unrestricted License. Your participation in the GDL program ends and you obtain a regular driver’s license once you turn 18 or have held the intermediate restricted license for 12 months and turned 17.

    Our permit practice tests provide instant feedback so that if you miss a question, you’ll know right away why a different response is better. Additionally, our tests mimic what you will face on the official Tennessee written test. When you have studied, practiced with our online practice tests, and feel prepared, just go to the Tennessee DMV with your identification documents and two proofs of residency (if you’re under 18, the proofs should have the name of your parent/guardian). You’ll also need your social security number and an SF1010 form proving school attendance and progress if you’re under 18. Be sure to check with your local DMV for any additional requirements. Once you’ve arrived, you’ll submit the documents, pay the fee, and take the knowledge test.
