- AThe applicant must provide proof that the other state cleared or reinstated the driving statusCorrect
- BThe applicant must wait seven days after moving to Vermont
- CThe applicant must surrender every vehicle title
- DThe applicant must buy a Vermont road atlas
Why: Vermont checks the national Problem Driver Pointer System and will not test or issue a Vermont credential while an out-of-state suspension, revocation, denial, or cancellation remains uncleared. Therefore, the supported response is "The applicant must provide proof that the other state cleared or reinstated the driving status".
Sample 2 · Vehicle Control Visual Search Following And ParkingWhich setting does the manual recommend for a permit holder's earliest driving practice?
- AAn empty parking lot or another low-traffic areaCorrect
- BA congested interstate at rush hour

- CExactly five feet
- DNo distance if the gate is moving
Why: When a railroad stop is required by lights, gates, a flagger, an approaching train, or a stop sign, the driver must stop at least 15 feet from the nearest rail. Therefore, the supported response is "At least 15 feet".

How to prepareA study plan for the Vermont 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 Vermont 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 Vermont Driver's Manual 2025, 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.
QuestionsVermont permit practice test questions
?Is this the official Vermont permit test?
No. DMV Exam Pass is an independent study service and is not affiliated with Vermont Department 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 Vermont permit practice test cover?
The 100 questions are spread evenly across 10 topics: Identity Residency And Driver Credentials, Graduated Licensing Renewals And Driving Privileges, Vehicle Control Visual Search Following And Parking, Emergency Signals Signs Markings And Work Zones, Railroads Pedestrians Bicycles Motorcycles Trucks And Animals, Floods Winter Skids Abs Visibility And Night Driving, Interstate Driving Passing And Roadside Emergencies, Alcohol Drugs Fatigue Distraction Road Tests And Crashes, Vehicle Equipment Restraints And Child Safety, and Points Registration Titles Insurance And Inspection. 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 Vermont 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 Vermont 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 Vermont permit test?
The Vermont Driver's Manual 2025, published by Vermont Department 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. 8 of the 100 questions are illustrated with a sign, signal, marking, or road scene, the way the permit test presents them.
?Is the Vermont 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.
