The Minnesota permit test is administered by Minnesota Department of Public Safety, Driver and Vehicle Services. This free practice test covers the 10 areas the Minnesota Driver's Manual teaches, from permits testing and provisional licenses to driver privileges distraction and impairment, with 100 questions written for Minnesota and every answer explained. Pick 25, 50, or 100 questions and start; there is no sign-up.
The Minnesota bank holds 100 questions written for the Minnesota Driver's Manual (June 2026), 6 of them illustrated with a sign, signal, marking, or road scene. Choose a Quick check of 25, a Practice run of 50, or the Full challenge of 100 on the next screen, then choose coaching mode, which explains every answer as you go, or exam mode, which holds the explanations until the end and still shows your running score. It is free, there is no sign-up, and a test in progress is saved on this device.
Start the Minnesota practice testAfter an unsuccessful Minnesota Class D written test in the morning, what is the next permitted testing time?
Why: A person may take only one written test per day and must score 80 percent to pass. Therefore, the supported response is "A later day, because only one written test is allowed per day".
The posted limit is 55 mph, but freezing rain makes the road slick. How should the driver choose speed?
Why: Minnesota's basic speed law requires a speed reasonable for current weather, traffic and road conditions, while the posted limit remains the maximum lawful speed. Therefore, the supported response is "Use a speed reasonable for the slick conditions and do not exceed 55 mph".
The vehicle ahead stops at a crosswalk even though you cannot yet see why. What should you do?
Why: It is illegal to pass a vehicle stopped for a pedestrian; a following driver should look for a pedestrian in the crosswalk and prepare to stop. Therefore, the supported response is "Do not pass; look for a pedestrian and prepare to stop".
In a 45 mph zone, how far before stopping must a school bus driver activate the flashing yellow lights?
Why: A school bus driver activates flashing yellow lights at least 100 feet before stopping in a zone of 35 mph or less and at least 300 feet before stopping in a zone above 35 mph. Therefore, the supported response is "At least 300 feet".
In ideal conditions with a standard-length car, which timing method does the manual recommend for following distance?
Why: For a standard-length vehicle in ideal conditions, the three-second method helps establish a safe following distance. Therefore, the supported response is "The three-second rule".
A driver wants to type a nonemergency text while moving. What does Minnesota's manual say?
Why: A driver may not compose, read or send electronic messages or access the internet while driving; listed exceptions include emergencies, crash or crime reports, and voice-activated or hands-free operation. Therefore, the supported response is "Do not type the message while driving".
These are Minnesota's own topic areas, from permits testing and provisional licenses to driver privileges distraction and impairment, each with 10 questions. Under each one are two questions from the bank, shown without their answers; the practice test explains every one of them.
Take a Quick check of 25 in coaching mode. Read each explanation, including the ones you got right; it tells you the rule Minnesota tests, not just the answer.
Your account's Study tab ranks the 10 topics by your results. Read that chapter of the Minnesota Driver's Manual, then take another Quick check to confirm the gap has closed.
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.
No. DMV Exam Pass is an independent study service and is not affiliated with Minnesota Department of Public Safety, Driver and Vehicle Services. The questions are written in the style of the exam to prepare you for it; the official test is taken with the agency.
The 100 questions are spread evenly across 10 topics: Permits Testing And Provisional Licenses, Vehicle Equipment And Occupant Protection, Speed Right Of Way And Intersections, Turns Lanes Passing And Parking, Pedestrians Bicycles And Motorcycles, School Buses Commercial Vehicles Railroads And Work Zones, Signs Signals And Pavement Markings, Space Management Lighting Weather And Skids, Crashes Emergencies And Vehicle Failures, and Driver Privileges Distraction And Impairment. Every test you take draws from all of them, so a weak area shows up quickly.
The Minnesota 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.
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.
The Minnesota Driver's Manual (June 2026), published by Minnesota Department of Public Safety, Driver and Vehicle Services. 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.
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.
Yes. 6 of the 100 questions are illustrated with a sign, signal, marking, or road scene, the way the permit test presents them.

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.
