Free Iowa DOT Permit Practice Test Three 2025

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

If you think earning an Iowa learner’s permit has more requirements than the number of cornfields in Pottawattamie County, you will be pleasantly surprised. While there are numerous requirements you must meet, you should have no problems if you wisely prepare. A good place to start is to make sure you understand the rules of the road and safe driving practices. These skills will give you a head start in satisfying the requirement of passing the official driver’s written knowledge test. Your ability to recognize and understand road signs, determine rights-of-way, and acknowledge parking restrictions will be tested. The good news is that a resource capable of contributing to your success is available and at your fingertips.

Our free Iowa DOT Permit Practice Test will assess your readiness and increase your command of safe and responsible driving practices for the official knowledge test. You must answer 80% of the 25 questions correctly to receive a passing score. That leaves little room for error, but the practice test will provide you with a dependable safety net. It contains 20 multiple-choice questions similar to the ones on the official knowledge test. You will get a sense of the actual testing environment, which will prepare you for complex questions and help you budget your time.

The Permit Practice Test outperforms any other on-line resource you might consider because it is interactive and provides practical instruction. It is based on the most recent Iowa DOT driver’s manual (Iowa DMV Handbook (IA Driver's Manual) 2025) and is up to date as of October 2025. Study guides focus on your ability to memorize questions without offering input on the ones you miss. In contrast, if you submit an incorrect answer, the practice test provides a detailed explanation of the correct one. This information will help you reason through the most difficult and complex questions on the official knowledge test. The practice test stands out as the most innovative and efficient resource you will find.

Taking a dip in Skunk River is highly discouraged, but you can be enticed by the practice tests for other U.S. states and Washington D.C. at https://driving-tests.org/academy/drivers-license.
