In Minnesota, all new drivers, regardless of age, must obtain an instruction permit before they can take the road test for a driver’s license. Your instruction permit will allow you to practice driving under supervision. To obtain a permit, you must be at least 15 years old, meet the documentation requirements, pass a vision screening, and pass the official written (knowledge) test. If you’re under 18, you must also obtain consent from a parent or guardian, enroll in a driver’s education course, and complete at least the first 15 hours of classroom instruction.
What happens next depends on your age. If you’re under 19, you may take the road test for a provisional license after you’ve held your permit for 180 days, completed the driver’s education course (including behind-the-wheel driving practice), and either logged 40 hours of additional supervised driving if your parent or guardian attended the driver’s education parent class, or logged 50 hours otherwise. Your provisional license will allow you to drive unsupervised but with restrictions on night driving and the number of passengers.

If you’re at least 19 years old, you must hold your permit for only 90 days. And once you pass your road test, you’ll be eligible for a full, unrestricted driver’s license.
This is our fourth Minnesota Permit Practice Test. We created these practice tests to help aspiring drivers like you pass the Minnesota written test. Like the official knowledge test, these practice tests are multiple choice, based on the official Minnesota driver’s manual (Minnesota DMV Handbook (MN Driver's Manual) 2026), and have a passing score of 80%.
This fourth Minnesota Permit Practice Test comes with our AI assistant, which can help you with any practice question. It can rephrase the question, supply a hint, or answer your own questions about driving. If you still miss the question, the AI assistant will immediately tell you and provide an explanation of the correct answer.
We can’t give you a PDF list of the exact Minnesota permit test questions and answers you’ll encounter on your knowledge (permit) test. Only the DVS knows which questions it’s including on your test. However, our knowledge test preparation program includes two PDF “cheat sheets” (in the sense of quick references, not for actual cheating!): “The Top 100 Most Common US DMV Questions” and “The 121 Most Common US Road Signs Questions.” These are the most likely questions to appear on your knowledge test. Each question listed comes with the correct answer, which you can study and memorize.
