Illinois DMV Permit Practice Test Questions 2025

  • Perfect for learner’s permit, driver’s license, and Senior Refresher Test
  • Based on official Illinois Driver's manual
  • Triple-checked for accuracy
  • Updated for June 2025

Navigating the Windy City requires patience and awareness, two of the most important skills every driver should develop. In cities like Chicago, traffic congestion is common during rush hours. Beginners who lack behind-the-wheel experience might get overwhelmed in such situations, but you must remain calm and remember your training. The official Illinois DMV driver’s handbook (Illinois DMV Handbook (IL Driver's Manual) 2025) prepares you for the challenges of driving in busy urban environments.

To begin the graduated license program, you must pass a written knowledge test that contains 35 multiple-choice questions. This test is free; however, you’ll have to pay $20 for a learner’s permit, $15 for the road test, and license fees depending on age and license type. As you start with the learning phase, it is crucial to avoid rushing. Study at your own pace, and when you’re ready, evaluate your knowledge with our Illinois government-agency} permit practice tests.

Each practice test has been updated for June 2025. To pass, you must score at least 80%, but it is perfectly normal to fail on your first few attempts. We highlight your mistakes as soon as they occur and provide a detailed explanation of the correct answer. This way, you won’t have to wait until the test ends to know what went wrong. With unlimited attempts, you can retake the practice test as often as you want. With repetition, you’ll memorize the correct answers and understand the meanings behind them. You don’t have to be skilled with computers to use this intuitive tool. We have chosen a simple and straightforward interface for all our practice tests to help you focus on learning without distractions.

Reduce eye strain and improve readability by adjusting the font size to your preference. Use the slider from the “Test settings” menu to increase or decrease the text size until it becomes easy to read. All these features allow you to personalize your experience with our practice tests. Use them to your advantage and turn studying into an enjoyable and rewarding activity.
