Once you get a West Virginia driver’s license, you can drive yourself to work in Charleston or the chemical, energy, healthcare, or manufacturing sectors. And in your free time, take U.S. Route 19 to the New River Gorge National Park. Or take U.S. Route 33 or WV-28 to Seneca Rocks and Spruce Knob, including the state’s tallest peak. Or explore the nightlife of Charleston, Morgantown, or Huntington. Or drive anywhere else you wish.
The way driver licensing works in West Virginia is that regardless of your age, you must obtain an instruction permit before you may take the road skills test for a driver’s license. Your permit will allow you to practice driving under the supervision of a licensed driver at least 21 years of age.
One key requirement for obtaining an instruction permit is to pass an official West Virginia DMV written knowledge test. All test questions are based on the official driver’s manual (West Virginia DMV Handbook (WV Driver's Manual) 2025). But what if you fail the knowledge test? Then, compared with the freedom of a driver’s license, you’ll be effectively grounded. You won’t even be able to practice driving under supervision. You’ll have to use public transportation or ask others to give you a lift.
We have created study tools to supplement the official driver’s manual and ensure you pass the official knowledge test on your first try. This practice test is one of those tools: the second of our five West Virginia Permit Practice Tests. We designed all these practice tests to help aspiring drivers like you pass the DMV knowledge test. Like the official knowledge test, this practice test is multiple choice, up to date as of March 2025, and based on the official West Virginia driver’s manual.
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 your own questions about driving. If you still miss the question, the AI Assistant will provide you with the correct answer and an explanation.
We also offer our own West Virginia Permit Test Study Guide to help you get ready for the day of your DMV knowledge test and avoid any unpleasant surprises. It covers how to prepare yourself mentally and physically, what documents to take to the DMV regional office for the knowledge test, what fees you’ll have to pay, frequently missed knowledge test questions, and other last-minute tips.
Finally, we have three more West Virginia Permit Practice Tests for you after this one. Please try them out!
