You may be a Southie at heart, but what if you want to get outside the Hub? You won’t get far on the Pike without a Massachusetts driver’s license. So, you better get hip to the rules and regulations that drivers need to know. It may not be computer science, but the Massachusetts learner’s permit knowledge test can be challenging if you don’t prepare. Efficient time management, attention to detail, and using a reliable resource with a proven track record of success need to be part of your study plan.

By answering 80% of the 25 questions correctly on the Massachusetts knowledge test, you will receive a passing score. Sounds easy? Don’t fool yourself, kid! The difficulty level of these questions varies, and some are as rough to ride out as a Nor’easter. These difficult questions present you with scenarios that may require thought and can be worded in ways that are difficult to understand. For this reason, you should not waste your time studying material you already know.

This free Massachusetts RMV Diagnostic Driving practice test, based on the most recent Driver’s Manual has a history of preparing drivers to pass their knowledge test on the first try. The practice test is up to date as of December 2025 and ready to go to work for you. It will not only improve your test score but help you become a more confident driver with the instruction you receive. By answering 8 of the most commonly missed questions on the knowledge test, you will get a true assessment of your readiness. Your incorrect answers will be highlighted, and a detailed explanation of the correct answer will be given. This instruction helps you learn both the correct answer and the information leading to it. In comparison, study guides will only take you as far as the correct answer without providing an explanation, leaving you feeling like you’re stuck in a rotary.
