In Minnesota, the licensing process begins with passing the official written knowledge test at a Department of Public Safety (DVS) location. This exam consists of 40 multiple-choice questions based on the official Minnesota Driver’s Manual (Minnesota DMV Handbook (MN Driver's Manual) 2026). This handbook is an essential resource for all aspiring drivers, and it describes the various aspects of driving theory in detail, including traffic laws, road signs, and safe driving practices. But reading the manual alone is not enough to prepare for the official written knowledge test, especially if you struggle with test anxiety.

That’s where our Minnesota DVS Written Test Study Guide practice test can make a difference. This practice test consists of 20 multiple-choice questions and closely reflects the official exam. Learn at your own pace and take as long as you need to finish each session. For your convenience, we have omitted any timer to take away the pressure of a countdown.

Whether studying late at night or reading on a small screen, you shouldn’t burden your eyes. On the left side of the page, the “Test settings” menu lets you control and toggle several features. The slider can adjust the text size until it becomes easier to read. We also recommend adjusting the brightness of your screen and staying hydrated during extended study sessions.
