You are jealous of your friends who have driving licenses and whom you ask to give you a ride from time to time. What’s the problem? You can have your own license and – who knows – might give your friend a ride some day! All it takes is some time and effort – and with our IA permit practice test you won’t even need to leave the comfort of your home. Right, it’s here and now – the close-to-real-life experience of a real DMV Permit Test. Impressed? There’s more – our test is based on the new official Iowa Driver’s Manual, so you can rely on it to only contain the most up-to-date info. Have a look.

There are several multiple-choice questions that you’ll answer by clicking one of the four offered options. Sometimes you know the right answer but other times you have to guess. It’s OK, guessing counts. And if you want to make your guesses more accurate, check our hints – use them well. If you miss a question, please read our explanations – you don’t want to make the same mistakes on the real DOT test. Do our IA permit practice test several times to enhance your knowledge and master your test skills. Spread the word by sharing our practice test. Remember – practice makes perfect. Good luck!
