In Louisiana, you must pass the OMV Permit Test to get your driver’s license. The test is based on the official Louisiana Driver’s Guide (Louisiana Driver’s Guide) and covers traffic rules and road signs.

The Louisiana OMV written test has 40 multiple-choice questions. To pass, you need at least 32 correct (80%).

This is our second Louisiana Permit Practice Test, current for June 2026 and based on the official Louisiana Driver’s Guide. Each question has four answer options – choose the most accurate one. Optional hints are available if you’re unsure (the real OMV exam has no hints).

Read the explanations carefully after any mistakes. You can retake the test as often as you need; questions will be randomized each time.

How to use Louisiana Test 2

Treat this as a second read, not a repeat of the first practice test.

1

Start with Emergency Situations

This is one of the main areas in this test pool, so review the rule before another scored attempt.

2

Use fresh wording for LA rules

Test 2 changes the question mix so you can separate understanding from memorized answers.

3

Move to Test 3 after repeat misses drop

Use Test 3 to confirm that emergency situations plus impaired and distracted driving no longer pull your score down.
