If you’ve never held a driver’s license before, you’ll have to devote time and effort to obtaining a Virginia driver’s license. No one else can do this for you, not even us. (We don’t issue licenses.) What we can do is help you meet one of the most crucial requirements: passing the official Virginia DMV written knowledge test. This test covers traffic signs, safe driving techniques, and Virginia’s motor vehicle laws. (The passing score is 86%.)

Our practice tests and other tools will ensure you pass the official DMV written knowledge test on your first try. This is one of our tools: our second Virginia DMV Permit Practice Test. Like all our other permit practice tests, it’s designed to help aspiring drivers like you pass the DMV knowledge test. Like the official knowledge test, this practice test is up to date as of March 2025 and based on the official Virginia driver’s manual (Virginia DMV Handbook (VA Driver's Manual) 2025). All 40 questions on this practice test are multiple choice. You must choose the best or most complete answer for each question.

The Progress Bar will keep track of your score as you go through the test. When you get a question right, it will turn green. If you miss a question, it will turn red. Baffled by a question? Ask our AI Assistant to elaborate or give you a hint. You can also ask the Assistant about any other aspect of driving. If you still miss the question, the AI Assistant will show you the correct answer and an explanation. Disappointed by your final score? You can retake this practice test as often as you wish until you master the material. Each time, the order of the questions will be randomized.

In addition, we have two downloadable PDF “cheat sheets” (quick references; not for actual cheating!): “The Top 100 Most Common US DMV Questions” and “The 121 Most Common US Road Signs Questions.” You will likely encounter some of these questions on your official knowledge test. Each “cheat sheet” includes the correct answer for each question listed. Please study as many of these as you can.

Feeling nervous that you might forget something or freeze up on the day of your official knowledge test? That’s why we also created our own Virginia Permit Test Study Guide to ensure you’ll be ready for the big test day. It covers how to prepare your mind and body for the test, what documents to have with you, what fees you’ll probably have to pay, and other last-minute tips.

Our commitment to accuracy and quality in our practice tests

Explore our rigorous, multi-tiered verification process that ensures each question mirrors the official manual for unparalleled accuracy.

Written by Andrei Zakhareuski Updated over a week ago

At Driving-Tests.org, we understand the importance of reliable and accurate practice tests to help you prepare for your DMV exam. That's why we've developed a meticulous process to create and continually update our practice questions, ensuring they reflect the most current driving laws and regulations.

Here's an inside look at how we maintain the highest quality in our practice tests.

Content Creation and Verification Process

Alignment with Official Manuals:
Every question we develop is based on the most recent version of each state's official driving manual. Our team regularly monitors each state DMV's website for the latest updates to ensure our practice tests are always aligned with the most current information.
Community Feedback Integration:
We leverage feedback from our vast community of users to understand which topics are most frequently tested. This helps us focus on the areas that are most relevant and beneficial for your preparation.
Expert Content Creation:
Our in-house editor, Steven, who has extensive experience in driver education, crafts each question with precision. He conducts a thorough review of each question against the official manuals to ensure accuracy.
Rigorous Review Process:
Once Steven has finalized a set of questions, our team conducts a joint review session. This second level of scrutiny involves content accuracy, proofreading, and fact-checking to eliminate any errors.
User Feedback Mechanism:
After a question goes live on our site, we keep the lines of communication open. Each question features a feedback button, inviting users to report any issues or errors. This continuous feedback loop allows us to address and rectify any concerns promptly.
Responsive Updates:
In line with our commitment to accuracy, we quickly update our practice questions to reflect any changes in the DMV manuals. Additionally, we update the free electronic copy of the state's driver's license manuals on our site, typically within a few days after the DMV publishes them.

Our thorough quality control process ensures that you have access to practice tests that are as accurate and up-to-date as possible. We believe in the power of well-prepared drivers and are dedicated to providing you with the best study tools to help you succeed on your DMV exam.
