Start the Louisiana practice testSample questionsSix questions from the Louisiana bank, with the rule behind each answer
Sample 1 · Licensing Permits Graduated Licensing And TestsCamille is preparing to enter Stage 1 of Louisiana's graduated licensing program. What minimum age does the guide state for a learner's permit?
- A15 years oldCorrect
- B14 years old
- C16 years old
- D18 years old
Why: A Louisiana Stage 1 learner's permit applicant must be at least 15 years old. Therefore, the supported response is "15 years old".
Sample 2 · Restraints Vehicle Readiness And Basic ControlWho must buckle up in a Louisiana passenger car under the guide's stated rule?
- APassengers in both the front and back seatsCorrect
- BOnly the driver
- COnly front-seat passengers
- DOnly passengers traveling on an interstate
Why: Louisiana's mandatory safety-belt rule described in the guide requires passengers in both front and rear seats of cars, vans, and pickup trucks to be properly buckled. Therefore, the supported response is "Passengers in both the front and back seats".
Sample 3 · Intersections Turns Right Of Way And ParkingEvery light at an intersection is dark because the signal failed. How should drivers treat the intersection?
- AAs an all-way or four-way stopCorrect
- BAs an uncontrolled high-speed crossing
- CAs a green light for the largest vehicle
- DAs closed only to pedestrians
Why: A nonfunctioning traffic signal makes the intersection operate as an all-way or four-way stop. Therefore, the supported response is "As an all-way or four-way stop".
Sample 4 · Pedestrians Bicycles Motorcycles And Large TrucksA vehicle ahead is stopped at the pictured pedestrian crossing. What should the following driver do?
- AHonk until the stopped vehicle moves
- BAssume the crossing is empty
- CStop and check for a pedestrian rather than passCorrect
- DPass immediately on the shoulder
Why: Drivers must yield to pedestrians, including people in marked or unmarked crosswalks, and must not pass a vehicle stopped at a crosswalk. Therefore, the supported response is "Stop and check for a pedestrian rather than pass".
Sample 5 · Interstate Rural Weather And Night DrivingWho has the right-of-way when Carmen merges from an entrance ramp onto an interstate?
- AWhichever vehicle is smaller
- BRamp traffic in every situation
- CTraffic already on the interstateCorrect
- DCarmen because she signaled
Why: Enter an interstate at or near the speed of traffic, signal, select a gap, and yield to traffic already on the interstate. Therefore, the supported response is "Traffic already on the interstate".
Sample 6 · Collision Avoidance Breakdowns And Emergency ResponseDuring an emergency stop in an ABS-equipped car, what should the driver do?
- ARelease the brakes and close the eyes
- BUse only the parking brake
- CPress firmly and steer toward the safe pathCorrect
- DManually pump the pedal as rapidly as possible
Why: With ABS, press the brakes hard and steer toward safety; the system pumps automatically to help preserve control, but it does not make the vehicle stop faster. Therefore, the supported response is "Press firmly and steer toward the safe path".

How to prepareA study plan for the Louisiana permit test
1Find out where you stand
Take a Quick check of 25 in coaching mode. Read each explanation, including the ones you got right; it tells you the rule Louisiana tests, not just the answer.
2Study the topics you missed
Your account's Study tab ranks the 10 topics by your results. Read that chapter of the Class D & E Driver's Guide, then take another Quick check to confirm the gap has closed.
3Rehearse the real thing
Take the Full challenge of 100 in exam mode. Aim for 80 percent or better twice in a row; at that point you are answering from the rules, not from memory of the questions.
QuestionsLouisiana permit practice test questions
?Is this the official Louisiana permit test?
No. DMV Exam Pass is an independent study service and is not affiliated with Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles. The questions are written in the style of the exam to prepare you for it; the official test is taken with the agency.
?What does the Louisiana permit practice test cover?
The 100 questions are spread evenly across 10 topics: Licensing Permits Graduated Licensing And Tests, Signs Signals Work Zones And Pavement Markings, Restraints Vehicle Readiness And Basic Control, Scanning Space Following Passing And Night Visibility, Intersections Turns Right Of Way And Parking, Pedestrians Bicycles Motorcycles And Large Trucks, School Buses Railroads And Emergency Vehicles, Interstate Rural Weather And Night Driving, Distraction Fitness Alcohol Drugs And Offenses, and Collision Avoidance Breakdowns And Emergency Response. Every test you take draws from all of them, so a weak area shows up quickly.
?How many questions are in the practice test, and how long does it take?
The Louisiana bank holds 100 questions. A Quick check of 25 takes about ten minutes, a Practice run of 50 about twenty, and the Full challenge of 100 about forty. You can pause any time.
?Are these the real questions from the Louisiana exam?
No. Nobody outside the agency has the real questions, and we do not use, claim, or advertise leaked or exact exam questions. These are independently written questions that test the same rules, so what you learn transfers to whatever the real test asks.
?Which handbook should I study for the Louisiana permit test?
The Class D & E Driver's Guide (DPSMV2052 (R08/25)), published by Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles. Every question here is written for it, and each explanation names the rule, so when you miss a question you know which chapter to read.
?What is the difference between coaching mode and exam mode?
Coaching mode shows whether each answer was right, and why, before you move on; it is for learning. Exam mode holds the explanations and the correct choices until the end and still shows your running score; it is for checking readiness. Both draw from the same bank, and scoring happens on our servers, so no answer key is loaded in your browser.
?Does the practice test include road signs and pictures?
Yes. 7 of the 100 questions are illustrated with a sign, signal, marking, or road scene, the way the permit test presents them.
?Is the Louisiana practice test free, and do I need an account?
It is free, with no sign-up. An optional account saves your progress across devices and shows which topics need work.
?Can I pause and come back later?
Yes. A test in progress is saved on this device and offered again when you return. With an account, it is saved to your account as well, so you can continue on another device.
?What score should I aim for before test day?
Aim for 80 percent or better on a Full challenge in exam mode, more than once. The official passing score is set by the agency; scoring consistently above 80 here means you are answering from the rules rather than from luck.
