- Perfect for learner’s permit, driver’s license, and Senior Refresher Test
- Based on official Hawaii Driver's manual
- Triple-checked for accuracy
- Updated for September 2025
In Hawaii, regardless of your age, you must pass three official tests before you may apply for a driver’s license: a vision test, a written knowledge test on driving theory, and a road test. Before applying for a license, you must first obtain an instruction permit if you’re under 18 or your county (e.g., Kauai) requires it. You must be at least age 15½ to get a permit. It will allow you to practice driving under supervision. You must pass the vision and knowledge tests for an instruction permit. (If you hold a permit, you just have to pass the road test for a license.) If you’re under 18, you must also get consent from your parent, guardian, or other responsible adult.
The official Hawaii DMV written test has 30 multiple-choice questions based on the official driver’s manual (Hawaii DMV Handbook (HI Driver's Manual) 2025). The passing score is 80%. The test covers traffic signs and signals, Hawaii traffic laws, the rules of the road, and safe driving practices.
This is the second of five Hawaii Permit Practice Tests. We designed all these Permit Practice Tests to help aspiring drivers like you pass the DMV knowledge test. This practice test is multiple choice, up to date as of September 2025, and based on the official Hawaii driver’s manual. It has 20 questions on driving emergencies, passing, pavement markings, right-of-way rules, road signs, roundabouts, sharing the road, traffic signals, and other topics.
Feel free to call on our AI Assistant for help with any practice question. You can ask it for a hint or a clarification. You can also ask it your own questions about driving. If you still miss the question, the AI assistant will give you the correct answer and an explanation.
We also have two PDF “cheat sheets” (in the sense of quick references, not for actual cheating!) that you can download: “The Top 100 Most Common US DMV Questions” and “The 121 Most Common US Road Signs Questions.” You will likely encounter some of these questions on your knowledge test. The correct answer is provided for each question listed.
Finally, we also offer our own Hawaii Permit Test Study Guide to help you get ready for the day of your Hawaii knowledge test. It covers what documents to take to the DMV, what fees you may have to pay, how to prepare yourself mentally and physically, frequently missed knowledge test questions, and other last-minute tips.
