Obtaining a driver’s license is an important step in your life. Whether you’re 15 or 50 years old, the roads of Alabama welcome beginners of all ages. Driving is a lifelong skill that cannot be learned overnight. You’ll need to dedicate several weeks to studying the official Alabama DMV handbook (Alabama DMV Handbook (AL Driver's Manual) 2026). This valuable resource describes the various aspects of driving theory in detail, including good driving habits, road signs, traffic laws, and the Alabama point system.

Your knowledge of this subject will be evaluated at the DMV office through a 30-question exam. Before taking the written knowledge test, you must pay a $5 testing fee and an additional $36.25 fee to have a learner’s permit license issued. To maximize your chances of passing the official written knowledge test on your first attempt, you must be consistent in your studies and adopt a systematic approach to your learning phase.

Train with our Alabama DMV permit practice tests to build confidence and strengthen your knowledge. Each practice test is current for January 2026 to reflect the latest changes brought by DMV rules or state law. Just like on the official exam, you must answer 40 multiple-choice questions and score 80% to pass. Keep track of your progress with the overview at the top of the page. As you progress through the practice test, each question will turn either green or red to reflect your performance. We understand how several mistakes in a row can discourage even the most prepared students. If you wish to start the test over again, use the “Restart test” button. However, you should know that the new session will have a randomized order of questions.
