Hawaii DMV Permit Practice Test Questions 2025

Driving in Hawaii is a unique experience. There are few places in the world where you can cruise on roads that wind through lush rainforests, rugged coastlines, and spectacular waterfalls. However, many of these roads have sharp curves and require caution, especially for beginners who lack behind-the-wheel experience. While you should enjoy the ride, remember to drive safely. The stunning views might be distracting, but you must keep your eyes on the road ahead while occasionally checking your mirrors. Pull over and park your vehicle in one of the numerous viewpoints scattered along the islands to admire the Pacific and the beauty of Hawaii.

Residents of Hawaii must take the official written knowledge test before they can obtain a permit and start the licensing process. (You must obtain a permit if you’re under 18 or your county requires it. Otherwise, it’s optional.) This exam consists of 30 multiple-choice questions based on the official Hawaii driver’s manual (Hawaii DMV Handbook (HI Driver's Manual) 2025). There is a small fee for this knowledge test.

Our Hawaii DMV permit practice tests have been recently updated for March 2025 and can be accessed online. Aspiring drivers who are struggling with understanding the complex concepts of driving theory can also use this intuitive tool for educational purposes. When you’re stuck on a difficult question, request a hint from our AI coach. The automated assistant provides information that nudges you in the right direction without revealing the correct answer. With its help, you can identify areas that need improvement and strengthen your knowledge.

On the left side of the page, the “Test settings” menu allows you to customize your experience. From here, you can activate the voice-over feature that enables auditory learning, significantly enhancing your learning potential. An artificial voice will read each question and its answer choices aloud. This feature and many others can be turned on and off using a specific key combination. To display a complete list of keyboard shortcuts, use the “Shift” and “?” keys at the same time.

The more you practice, the more confident you’ll be when the exam day comes. Since you get unlimited attempts to train with our practice tests, there’s no limit to how often you can study. However, you should take frequent breaks and drink plenty of water during longer sessions to avoid burnout and digital eye strain.
