In Minnesota, you must be at least 15 to start the graduated driver’s license process. You’ll need to complete a classroom-based driver’s education class and pass the DVS written knowledge test.

The Minnesota DVS Class D knowledge test has 40 multiple-choice questions based on the 2026 Minnesota Driver’s Manual. To pass, you need at least 32 correct (80%).

You’ll also take a vision test and provide proof of identity, Social Security number, residency, and a parental signature on the application if you’re a minor. The first two written test attempts are free; each attempt after that costs $10, so studying beforehand saves money.

Once you have your permit, you’ll take another driver’s education class with behind-the-wheel experience: 30 hours of classroom time and 6 hours behind the wheel.

This Minnesota DVS practice test is current for May 2026 and helps you prepare for the real knowledge test without paying the retake fee.

Use fresh wording for MN rules

Move to Test 3 after repeat misses drop

Use Test 3 to confirm that highway driving plus vehicle equipment no longer pull your score down.
