Free Minnesota DVS Written Test Study Guide 2025

  • Perfect for learner’s permit, driver’s license, and senior refresher test.

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) 2025). 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.

Although you should ignore your score during your first few attempts, you can always interrupt a poorly performing session and start over. Click the “Restart test” button if you need a fresh start. Feel free to use this button anytime, as you have unlimited attempts to practice as often as you want. All users benefit from non-stop access to this intuitive testing tool. You don’t need sophisticated software or advanced computer knowledge to incorporate this practice test into your study routine.

Use our Minnesota DVS Written Test Study Guide practice test alongside the official driver’s handbook to master driving theory over the next few weeks. On exam day, you’ll go to the DVS location prepared, ready to ace the official written knowledge test on your first attempt.
