Start the West Virginia practice testA 19-year-old with a West Virginia instruction permit wants to practice driving. Who must sit in the front seat?
Why: An applicant age 18 or older may practice only while accompanied in the front seat by a licensed driver who is at least 21 years old. Therefore, the proposed response is "A licensed driver who is at least 21".
Which driving abilities can alcohol impair?
Why: Alcohol can reduce alertness, judgment, coordination, and vision before a driver recognizes the degree of impairment. Therefore, the proposed response is "Alertness, judgment, coordination, and vision".
Traffic is backed up beyond a railroad crossing. When should a driver enter the crossing?
Why: A driver must not enter a railroad crossing unless there is enough room on the far side to clear every track completely. Therefore, the proposed response is "Only when enough space exists to clear all tracks".
A posted limit is 55 mph, but dense fog sharply limits visibility. How should the driver choose a speed?
Why: A driver must travel at a reasonable and prudent speed for actual traffic, road, visibility, and weather conditions even when below the posted maximum. Therefore, the proposed response is "Slow to a reasonable speed for the actual conditions".
A school bus ahead has flashing red lights while children board. What is generally required of traffic in both directions?
Why: Traffic in both directions generally must stop for a school bus displaying flashing red lights while receiving or discharging students. Therefore, the proposed response is "Stop before reaching the bus".
How should a driver perform a routine tire-pressure check?
Why: Tire pressure should be checked monthly with a gauge while the tires are cold and compared with the vehicle manufacturer's pressure label. Therefore, the proposed response is "Use a gauge monthly on cold tires and compare with the vehicle label".
These are West Virginia's own topic areas, from graduated licensing permits and license restrictions to vehicle checks emergency control crashes and first aid, 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 West Virginia tests, not just the answer.
Your account's Study tab ranks the 10 topics by your results. Read that chapter of the Driver's Licensing Handbook, 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 West Virginia Department of Transportation, Division 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.
The 100 questions are spread evenly across 10 topics: Graduated Licensing Permits And License Restrictions, Insurance Crashes Devices Points And License Consequences, Alcohol Drugs Implied Consent And Fatigue, Sign Shapes Colors Work Zones And Guide Signs, Signals Railroads Lane Controls And Pavement Markings, Speed Signaling Turning Backing And Parking, Lane Changes Passing Right Of Way And Pedestrians, School Buses Motorcycles Trucks Bicycles And Road Sharing, Interstates Weather Defensive Driving And Restraints, and Vehicle Checks Emergency Control Crashes And First Aid. Every test you take draws from all of them, so a weak area shows up quickly.
The West Virginia 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.

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.
