Free Online DMV Written Test Practice for Alabama (2025)

There are good jobs to be had all over Alabama, and many residents commute to work by car. Here are just two examples: Birmingham is the economic center of the state, whose key industries include banking, healthcare, and manufacturing. Commuter routes include Interstates 20, 59, and 65. Huntsville is a hub for aerospace and high-tech, whose major employers include NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, Redstone Arsenal, and Boeing. Commuter routes include I-565 and U.S. Highway 72. But wherever you end up working, if you must or want to commute by car, you’ll need a driver’s license.

To obtain a driver’s license in Alabama, you must pass three official tests: a vision exam, a written knowledge test, and a road skills test. (You must also meet some other requirements.) If you’re under 18, you must first earn an instruction permit unless you are married or the head of a household. The permit will allow you to practice driving while supervised. The vision and knowledge tests are key requirements for a permit too. If you’re 18 or older, an instruction permit is optional if you need more supervised driving practice.

The Alabama DMV written test covers Alabama traffic laws, road signs, and rules of safe driving. The passing score is 80%. Unfortunately, in 2020 – 2023, about 49.1% of applicants – nearly half – failed the written knowledge test on their first attempt. Apparently, just reading the official driver’s manual (Alabama DMV Handbook (AL Driver's Manual) 2025) before the knowledge test wasn’t sufficient.
