Updated for April 2025

From the shores of the Atlantic to the peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Virginia provides a varied driving experience. To navigate the roads of the Old Dominion, you must have a solid understanding of traffic laws, rules of the road, and safe driving practices. You’ll find various aspects of driving theory described in the official Virginia driver’s manual (Virginia DMV Handbook (VA Driver's Manual) 2025), an important resource published by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). This manual serves as the basis of all 35 questions on the official written knowledge exam. There are multiple answer choices for each question, but only one is correct. To pass, you must score at least 86%.
We’ll help you ace this exam, but there is a long journey ahead of you. As you begin the learning phase, it is crucial to avoid rushing. There are no shortcuts, but mastering driving theory can be easier when you have access to the right tools. Our Virginia DMV permit practice tests are designed to make you a better driver and help you pass the official written knowledge test on your first attempt. Each practice test consists of 40 multiple-choice questions. This intuitive tool is browser-based and can be accessed on any device that supports a browser and has an active internet connection. Even the busiest students can train while commuting, grocery shopping, or even traveling.
Have you ever wanted to gain insight into the performance of other students? Our answer popularity feature allows you to identify difficult questions where misconceptions are more common. Once activated, each answer choice will display the percentage of users who have selected that answer. If your wireless mouse runs out of battery charge while you are training with our practice tests, continue and finish the active session by using your keyboard. The “Shift + ?” key combination displays a complete list of keyboard shortcuts to toggle features, select answers, and progress through the practice test.
Nobody was born an expert on any subject. When it comes to driving theory, only practice makes perfect. Before you can get any behind-the-wheel experience, focus on mastering driving theory with the help of our practice tests.

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.
