Missouri Permit Practice Test Four 2026
Avg. first-try score: 90%
Perfect for:Learner’s permit applicants
First‑time adult applicants
If you’re under 21 or have never driven before, you need to obtain an instruction (learner’s) permit before taking the driving (road) test for a driver’s license. Your permit will allow you to practice driving under supervision. You must be at least 15 years of age for a permit. One key requirement for an instruction permit is to pass three DOR tests: a visual screening, a road signs test, and a written (knowledge) test on driving theory.
The written knowledge test consists of 25 questions based on the official Missouri driver’s manual (Missouri DOR Handbook (MO Driver's Manual) 2026), and the passing score is 80%. You must take the road signs test and written knowledge test at a Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP) driver examination station, not online.
What happens after passing these three tests will depend on your age. If you’re 16 to 18 years old, you will be issued an intermediate license after you’ve held your permit for six months, performed at least 40 hours of supervised driving, and passed a driving (road) test. Your intermediate license will allow you to drive unsupervised but with restrictions on when you can drive and how many passengers you can carry. Once you turn 18 and have had no traffic violations in the past year, you can obtain a full, unrestricted driver’s license.
