This Massachusetts RMV practice test has just been updated for December 2025 and covers 20 of the most essential road signs and rules questions directly from the official 2025 MA Driver Handbook. In Massachusetts, what most people call the “DMV” is officially the RMV (Registry of Motor Vehicles). You’ll take the learner’s permit exam — often called the knowledge or written test. On the official Massachusetts RMV Test, there are 25 questions, so you must answer 18 of them correctly. You will have 25 minutes to take the test on one of RMV’s automated test stations (ATS). These kiosks have video screens that will deliver the RMV written test questions to you visually. You will need to pay a learner’s permit test fee. You must both have your valid learner’s permit and not have any blemishes on your driving record for six consecutive months before you can take your road test. You must also meet a list of several other requirements to get your Junior Operator’s License, which is for Massachusetts drivers between the ages of 16 and 18.

Has all the information!
Using this for Massachusetts, as a first time adult driver. The website is extremely easy, convenient, and helpful. I did compare it to the MA drivers manual for accuracy and it has all of the information basically 1:1.

Passed my exam in one go.
Super helpful! I had only a few days to prepare and thanks to this service, I passed my exam in one go. The questions are spot on, and really helped me learn the basics / memorize the details. Would highly recommend!
Z
Highly recommended.
I was under pretty severe time constraints to pass this test. I was unfamiliar with the fines and penalties section and needed a fast, systematic way to learn by taking the practice tests and having my mistakes captured for review. I was able to prep efficiently from my iphone.
