Free Maryland MVA Permit Practice Test 2025

To earn a learner’s permit in Maryland, you must first pass the vision screening test and then the official Maryland knowledge test (often called the knowledge, written, or permit test). It consists of 25 multiple-choice questions divided into two parts. The first part covers laws and regulations, and you must answer at least 22 of 25 questions correctly to pass. The second part is about road signs, and you must answer all 10 questions correctly to pass. In Maryland, what most people call the “DMV” is officially the MVA (Motor Vehicle Administration). In Maryland, there are no online options for taking the knowledge test. If you fail the test, you must wait one business day (and pay the retake fee) before taking it again. Our Maryland MVA practice tests are designed to keep any retakes from being necessary. Current for December 2025, our free online Maryland Permit Practice Test can help you pass by providing questions and answers based on the Maryland MVA 2025 Driver Handbook. Our tests provide instant feedback on each practice question and mimic the official Maryland written test. Maryland operates a graduated licensing program (GDL) that applies to drivers under 25 (the Rookie Driver program). Individuals 25 and older follow a slightly modified process, requiring fewer practice hours before a driving test. Even if you’re between 18 and 24 and just starting to drive, you still need to go through the GDL stages: Learner’s Permit, Provisional License, and Full Driver’s License. The learner’s permit requires you to practice driving with a qualified supervising driver. The provisional license stage allows for unsupervised driving but has some restrictions. Once you’ve held your provisional license for 18 months without any violations or preventable crashes, you move to the full driver’s license stage.
