Learning the rules and regulations for driving in Connecticut can involve as many twists as the aisles at Stew Leonard’s. However, you’ll need to get up to speed on safe driving practices to earn a Connecticut driver’s license. Your ability to exhibit extensive knowledge of the rules and regulations governing driver safety on the Connecticut driver’s license knowledge test will be key to earning a passing score.

Although you may already be a safe driver, are your test-taking skills sharp enough to help you get past the most complex and difficult questions on an exam? It would be wise to assess your knowledge of road rules before taking your official knowledge test. Connecticut requires that you answer 80% of 25 questions correctly to receive a passing score. While that score might not be good enough to get you admitted to Yale, it will get your wheels rolling down the Merritt Parkway. Still, you are going to need a strategic plan to help you succeed. Did you know there is a resource available to you that has a proven record of preparing drivers to pass their official knowledge test in a minimal amount of time?

This free Connecticut DMV Diagnostic Driving practice test, based on the most recent Driver’s Manual (Connecticut DMV Handbook (CT Driver's Manual) 2026), will equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to understand the test material. It consists of 8 of the most commonly missed questions, just like the ones you are going to see on the official knowledge test, to assist you in effectively learning the subject matter. The practice test is up to date as of February 2026. If you answer a question incorrectly, you will receive a detailed explanation of the correct answer. This approach helps you identify any elements of the questions that may have confused you or information that you lacked awareness of. Instead of memorizing the correct answer, you become fully informed of your deficiencies so you will do better on the official knowledge test.

Just as the fall foliage comes and goes, you can stay on the move and find other practice tests for states across the nation at https://driving-tests.org/academy/drivers-license.
