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 2nd 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 40 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. The progress bar on the left-hand side of the page will show you how well you’re doing by marking each correct answer with green. If the color’s red, you need to hold your horses and read our explanations – you don’t want to make the same mistake on the real DMV test. Do our IA permit practice test several times to enhance your knowledge and master your test skills.
Not to worry, you won’t have any payments requests while you’re practicing with us – we don’t charge any fees. Can’t believe it? Try it , you won’t even have to register.
