Start the Pennsylvania practice testA Pennsylvania intersection has a steady red light but no stop line or crosswalk. Where must the driver stop?
Why: At a steady red light, a driver must stop before the marked stop line or crosswalk, or before entering the intersection when neither marking is present. Therefore, the supported response is "Before entering the intersection".
When should a Pennsylvania learner check tire pressure for an accurate cold reading?
Why: Tire pressure should be checked cold, before driving or at least three hours after driving, against the recommended psi in the owner's manual or driver-side door jamb. Therefore, the supported response is "Before driving or at least three hours after driving".
A driver is traveling 25 mph before a turn. How far in advance must the signal begin?
Why: When traveling below 35 mph, Pennsylvania law requires a turn signal at least 100 feet before turning. Therefore, the supported response is "At least 100 feet".
At an unsigned intersection, a driver wants to turn left across an oncoming vehicle going straight. Who must yield?
Why: A driver turning left must yield to oncoming vehicles traveling straight ahead, and every driver must take action needed to avoid a crash even when another driver should yield. Therefore, the supported response is "The left-turning driver".
A vehicle ahead is stopped beside a crosswalk. What should the approaching driver do?
Why: When approaching a stopped vehicle from behind, a driver should slow and not pass until certain no pedestrian is crossing in front of that vehicle. Therefore, the supported response is "Slow and wait to confirm no pedestrian is crossing".
At what point total does PennDOT begin corrective action on a driving record?
Why: PennDOT begins corrective action when a driving record reaches six or more points; a first accumulation triggers written notice for a special point examination. Therefore, the supported response is "Six or more points".
These are Pennsylvania's own topic areas, from signals and intersection control to alcohol points and safety laws, 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 Pennsylvania tests, not just the answer.
Your account's Study tab ranks the 10 topics by your results. Read that chapter of the Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, Bureau of Driver Licensing. 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: Signals And Intersection Control, Signs And Pavement Markings, Vehicle Readiness And Driver Factors, Space Speed And Visibility, Turns Merging And Passing, Intersections Roundabouts And Highways, Parking Work Zones And Railroads, Sharing The Road, Emergencies And Collisions, and Alcohol Points And Safety Laws. Every test you take draws from all of them, so a weak area shows up quickly.
The Pennsylvania 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.
