Free Connecticut DMV Permit Practice Test Three 2025

When you are ready to receive your Connecticut learner’s permit or driver’s license, you will need to take a Connecticut DMV knowledge test consisting of 25 multiple-choice questions. To pass, you will need to answer at least 20 questions correctly to achieve a passing score of 80% or better. The test is based on information contained in the 2025 Connecticut Driver’s Manual, and covers topics such as safe driving practices, dangerous driving, licensing laws, road signs and signals, and more. Anyone of any age who has not previously had a driver’s license must get a learner’s permit in order to learn how to drive. You must be a minimum of 16 years of age to receive your Connecticut learner’s permit and then pass a vision test in addition to passing your knowledge test. You must also take a Safe Driving Course, which takes eight hours, before you can upgrade from your learner’s permit to your driver’s license. You should also be aware that knowledge testing is offered by appointment only at certain Connecticut DMV locations, so you will need to make an appointment online before you go. This 40 multiple-choice question Connecticut DMV permit practice test requires the same passing ratio as the real exam, so you must answer at least 32 questions correctly.
