In Massachusetts, you must obtain a learner’s permit before you may apply for a driver’s license. To obtain a learner’s permit, you must meet a series of requirements. First, you must complete an application and submit it at an RMV Service Center. (Your parent or guardian must sign it if you’re under 18.) Also provide your Social Security number, proof of your citizenship or lawful presence in the United States, and proof of your Massachusetts residency. Pay the appropriate fees. Then you must pass a vision exam and a learner’s permit exam.
The Massachusetts learner’s permit exam has 25 questions based on the official driver’s manual (Massachusetts RMV Handbook (MA Driver's Manual) 2025). The exam tests your knowledge of Massachusetts motor vehicle laws and safe driving practices. It has a 25-minute time limit, and the passing score is 72%.
Unfortunately, failure happens all too often. The RMV reported that in 2022, about 30% of applicants – nearly one-third – failed the Massachusetts learner’s permit test.
To ensure that aspiring drivers like you pass, we’ve created a test preparation program with a suite of interactive test preparation tools to help you learn and memorize all the information you need to pass the permit test. Our premier tool is a comprehensive series of practice tests covering the information in the manual, with an automated assistant that can provide you with hints and explanations to help you answer the practice test questions.

Now it’s time to show that you really are ready to take the official permit test!
This Exam Simulator test runs in Simulated Exam Mode, resembling official exam conditions. The test consists of 25 questions based on the official manual, just like those on the official RMV permit test. The passing score is 72%, just like the official permit test. Unlike our other practice tests, the Exam Simulator test ends prematurely if you fail it (i.e., if you miss more than 18% of the questions). There are no hints, explanations, or other aids to help you answer the test questions. On this test, you’re on your own, just like on the official test!
Do you tend to experience test anxiety when taking official tests? This Exam Simulator will reduce your fear of the unknown with a realistic permit exam experience and show how well you perform under realistic exam conditions. This will build your confidence and lessen your anxiety about the official learner’s permit test.
Good luck!
