In Maine, if you’re a new driver, you must obtain a learner’s permit before you may apply for a driver’s license – even if you’re over 18. Your permit will allow you to practice supervised driving as you prepare to pass the official road test for a license. To obtain a learner’s permit, you must meet several requirements. One of the most critical is to pass the Maine DMV written knowledge test on road signs, driving laws and regulations, and safe driving techniques. If you’re under 18, you must complete a driver’s education course before taking the written test. If you’re at least 18 years old, a driver’s education course is not required.
The written knowledge test has 30 multiple-choice questions based on the official driver’s manual (Maine DMV Handbook (ME Driver's Manual) 2026). The passing score is 80%.
Unfortunately, passing the written knowledge test by reading the manual may be harder than you think. In 2020 – 2023, 32.6% – nearly one-third – of applicants failed the DMV written test on their first attempt.
