Free Colorado DMV Permit Practice Test 2025

Obtaining your Colorado DMV driver’s permit requires passing a vision screening and the written permit knowledge test. The driver’s knowledge test consists of 25 multiple-choice questions covering traffic laws, safe driving practices, driving under the influence, emergencies, sharing the road, and turns and intersections, as outlined in the state’s Colorado DMV 2025 Driver’s Manual. To pass, you must score at least 80% (20 out of 25 questions) in person at the DMV or by using their “At Home” online option. If you fail the knowledge test, you must wait until the next business day and pay the retest fee. Our practice quiz makes sure that doesn’t happen.

Our free online Colorado DMV Permit Practice Test is updated for June 2025 and mimics real exam conditions, with questions and answers based on the state manual. Immediate feedback is provided on any missed questions instead of at the end of the assessment, a proven method for quicker material retention.

The Instruction Permit is the first phase of Colorado’s Graduated Driver’s License (GDL) program for drivers under 18. To obtain a permit, you must pass a written test and vision test and provide proof of enrollment in a driver education course if you’re under 15½. With the permit, you must be accompanied by a licensed driver who is at least 21 and complete (and submit a signed log of) at least 50 hours of behind-the-wheel driving practice (10 hours at night). After holding your permit for at least 12 months with no traffic violations, passing the DMV road test, and being at least 16 years of age, you can apply for a minor driver’s license. If you’re under 18, for the first six months after you receive your license, you cannot transport any passengers under 21 or drive between midnight and 5 AM unless a parent or guardian is in the vehicle. Once you turn 18, you can apply for an unrestricted license.

Once you’re ready to apply for the permit, go to the DMV with proof of identity (birth certificate, passport), Social Security card, two proofs of residence (utility bill, bank statement), and signed Affidavit of Liability and Guardianship from a parent or guardian if you’re under 18. Submit the documents, pass a vision screening, pay the fee, and pass the official written test.
