How it works
Permit Practice Test is a free study site for the written knowledge test you take to get a learner’s permit. It is made by the Appcellent team.
Where the questions come from
For each state we download the current driver handbook from the state’s own website, read it, and write our own questions from it. Each question stores the handbook page and the sentence that proves the answer, and an automatic check confirms that sentence is really in the handbook.
We do not copy the handbook’s sample questions or any other site’s questions, and we do not have the real test questions. Nobody outside the state does.
Test length and pass mark
Each practice test is graded with the real pass mark of the state or province, and has the real number of questions where the state publishes it. Some states and provinces publish only the pass mark; their practice tests have 25 questions. Where no pass mark is published either, the practice test uses 80%. The numbers come from the state agency’s website or handbook, and each state page links to the source.

Found a mistake?
Laws change and we can get things wrong. If an answer looks wrong, email support@permitpracticetest.app with the state and the question, and we will check it against the handbook.
Not a government site
This site is independent. It is not affiliated with any DMV, BMV, ministry or other agency. Your state’s or province’s official handbook is always the final word.
