About the Maryland learner permit

The voice-over function can be activated from the test settings menu. An artificial voice will read the questions and answer choices aloud, making it easier for you to maintain focus and retain information. Students with auditory memory benefit greatly from this feature, but you can also use it to reduce eye strain during an extended study session.

As you begin your learning phase, you should read the official driver’s manual multiple times. Spend a few days learning the basics, and use our Maryland Driver’s Handbook Practice Test in the following weeks. Reinforce your knowledge through repetition and build the knowledge needed to become a safe and responsible driver.
