How it works

Three steps from your state to test day

Pick your state and license, take a test that explains every answer, then rehearse in exam mode until you score above 80 percent. Free, no sign-up, in all 50 states and Washington, DC.

The steps

What happens from the first click to the last question

1

Pick your state and your license

Every state has its own three banks, one each for the Driver License permit test, the Motorcycle License test, and the CDL test, written for that state's own official manual. Choose the state that will issue your license.

2

Take a test that explains itself

Start with a Quick check of 25 in coaching mode. After each answer you see whether it was right and the rule behind it, so a wrong answer becomes the lesson instead of a mark against you.

3

Rehearse the real thing

Switch to exam mode and take the Full challenge of 100. Explanations wait until the end, the way the real test works, and your running score shows where you stand. Aim for 80 percent or better, twice.

Inside a test

What every test gives you

The rule behind every answer

Each explanation names the rule the question tests, in plain words, so you know which part of the manual to read.

Illustrated questions

Signs, signals, pavement markings, and road situations are shown as pictures, the way the real test presents them.

Balanced coverage

Every bank is ten topics of ten questions, so a test of any length draws evenly from everything the manual covers.

A running score

Correct and wrong counts, your percentage so far, and the 80 percent target sit beside the test in both modes.

Lengths and modes

Ten minutes or forty, learning or rehearsing

A Quick check of 25 questions takes about ten minutes and is the right first look. A Practice run of 50 covers every topic in about twenty. The Full challenge of 100 is the whole bank in one sitting, about forty minutes, and the one to pass before test day.

Coaching mode explains each answer as you go and is for learning. Exam mode holds the explanations and the correct choices until the end and is for checking readiness. Both draw from the same bank and score on our servers; no answer key is loaded in your browser.

Free, then optional

No account to start, an account to keep track

Every test works without signing up, and a test in progress is saved on the device you are using. A free account adds a dashboard with your scores, your history, your weakest topics ranked worst first, and the ability to continue an unfinished test on another device.

Questions

Questions about the process

Do I have to choose a length before I start?

Yes, on the screen before the first question: a Quick check of 25, a Practice run of 50, or the Full challenge of 100. Quick check is the default, and you can pick a different length next time.

Which mode should I start with?

Coaching. It shows the rule behind every answer as you go, which is how the test becomes a lesson. Switch to exam mode once you are scoring well, to rehearse the real thing.

What happens if I close the page in the middle of a test?

The test is saved on this device and offered again when you come back. With an account it is also saved to your account, so another device can pick it up.

Does a test repeat questions I have already seen?

Each test is drawn fresh from the state's bank of 100, so a second test of the same length will not be the same set in the same order. Over several tests you will meet the whole bank.

How do I know which topics to study?

In coaching mode the explanation tells you as you go. With an account, the Study tab ranks all ten topics of a bank by your results, worst first.

Is anything sent to the licensing agency?

No. DMV Exam Pass is an independent study service. Your tests, scores, and account stay with us and are never shared with any agency.
