Want to ace your Wisconsin DMV Permit Test on the first try and avoid a 24-hour wait and an additional fee to try again? Wisconsin requires passing a vision screening, a knowledge test, and a road signs test as the first steps toward receiving your instruction permit. Our online practice tests are a perfect way to prepare. The Wisconsin learner permit (knowledge) test consists of 50 multiple-choice questions covering traffic laws, safe driving practices, and rules of the road as outlined in the state’s Motorists’ Handbook. To pass the knowledge test, you must answer at least 40 questions (80%) correctly. The road signs test has 15 questions, of which you must answer at least 12 (80%) correctly.
Wisconsin has implemented a Graduated Driver’s License (GDL) program, which gradually introduces driving privileges for teens under 18. The GDL program ends when a driver turns 18 or completes the intermediate licensing stage. The first stage (the Instruction Permit) can be applied for once an individual reaches the age of 15½. This permit is valid for 12 months, and the driver must be accompanied at all times by a licensed adult 21 years or older. Note that at age 16, once the driver has completed a state-approved driver education course, they can take a road skills test and apply for a probationary license. This license allows the driver to drive alone but with certain restrictions: no driving from midnight to 5 AM (with a few exceptions) and a passenger limit. After holding this license for nine months without any violations (or upon turning 18), the restrictions are lifted.
Our free online permit practice tests simulate what you will face on the official knowledge and road signs written tests. The questions and answers are based on the Wisconsin DMV 2025 Driver Handbook. Updated for March 2025, our free online Wisconsin practice tests provide instant feedback so you can learn as you go versus corrections at the end.
When you’re ready, visit your local DMV with proof of identity (birth certificate or passport), proof of Social Security number, proof of Wisconsin residency and legal status, and parental consent if you’re under 18 (Form MV3001). Submit the documents, pass the vision screening, pay the fee, and take the official computerized tests.
