In Massachusetts, you must pass the RMV written knowledge test to get your learner’s permit and driver’s license. You must be at least 16 years old to test and apply for a permit.

The Massachusetts RMV written test is timed and has 25 multiple-choice questions. You’ll have 25 minutes to answer at least 18 correct (72%). Questions are based on the 2026 Massachusetts Driver’s Manual.

The test is offered on an automated testing system in both English and Spanish, without an appointment, for a $30 testing fee. You’ll also need to provide proof of identity, state residency, and signature, plus a completed application form (with parental signature if you’re a minor). When paying for the permit test, you can also pay for your future driving test at the same time.

Once you have your learner’s permit, drivers under 18 must complete a driver’s education program and 40 hours of supervised driving.

This Massachusetts RMV practice test is current for May 2026 and helps you prepare for the real written knowledge test.
