In Maine, if you’re a new driver – even if you’re over 18 – you must obtain a learner’s permit before applying for a driver’s license. Your permit allows you to practice supervised driving before the road test. To get a permit, you must 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 also complete a driver’s education course before taking the written test.

The Maine BMV written 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% (24 correct). Passing by reading the manual alone may be harder than it sounds – in 2020-2023, 32.6% of applicants failed on their first attempt.

This is our second Maine Permit Practice Test, current for May 2026 and based on the official driver’s manual. Choose the best or most complete answer for each question.

Our AI Assistant can elaborate or give a hint if you’re stuck. You can retake the test as often as you want; questions will be randomized each time. We also offer a Maine Permit Test Study Guide with document checklists, fees, and tips for staying calm during the test.

How to use Maine Test 2

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

1

Start with Turning & U-Turns

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

2

Use fresh wording for ME 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 turning and u-turns plus emergency situations no longer pull your score down.
