You may be living in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave, but driving without a Maryland driver’s license is a really frightening thought. Although Maryland is considered one of the safest places in the United States for driving, you’ll need to demonstrate the proper driving skills to help protect that reputation. Don’t be a menace to society! Once you get some expert driver’s training, you can experience the unbridled freedom this land offers.

The Maryland driver’s knowledge test assesses your knowledge of the rules and regulations governing the state’s public roads. You need to answer 88% of the 25 questions correctly to earn a passing score, making it the highest required score in the country. While standardized tests may be nothing new to you, the knowledge test can be challenging. The test questions may be complex and confusing in how they are written. You will need to pay close attention to those details. However, for adequate preparation, there is no substitute for knowing the information.There is a resource currently available to help you meet your goals exceptionally well.

About the Maryland learner permit

Our free Maryland MVA Diagnostic Driving practice test is based on the most recent Maryland Driver’s Manual (Maryland MVA Handbook (MD Driver's Manual) 2026) and up to date as January 2026. This practice test cannot be compared to a study guide for its effectiveness and efficiency in preparing you for the official knowledge test. There are 8 commonly missed questions on the Maryland knowledge test. The practice test uses questions just like the ones often missed to assess your readiness to pass the official test. If you miss a question on the practice test, a detailed explanation of the correct answer is provided to expand your knowledge. In comparison, a study guide just tells you the correct answer without providing further input. The practice test will give you something extra to boost your confidence and set you up to pass your official test on the first attempt.

It doesn’t matter on which side of the Mason-Dixon Line you find yourself. You can find practice tests for other U.S. states and Washington D.C. at https://driving-tests.org/academy/drivers-license.

We know what it takes to pass. And we’ve got the proof.
