This Minnesota practice test has been freshly updated for December 2025 to cover 20 of the most crucial road signs and traffic rules from the official 2025 MN Driver Handbook. In Minnesota, what most people call the “DMV” is officially DVS (Driver and Vehicle Services). You’ll take the Class D Knowledge Test – often called the knowledge or written test. The real Class D knowledge exam contains multiple-choice questions, and you need at least 32 correct answers to pass (with a passing score of 80% or higher). Known as the Minnesota permit test, DVS knowledge exam, or simply the driver’s knowledge test, this practice set closely mirrors the actual format to boost your chances of success. Common challenges faced by test-takers in Minnesota often include misidentifying traffic signs, misunderstanding specific state road rules, and neglecting to study safe driving practices. Bring all required documents to the test center, including your identification, proof of residency, and any necessary fees. Arrive early to allow time for check-in and to calm any nerves. Read each question carefully, considering all answer choices before selecting your response. Stay calm and focused throughout the test. Remember, the more prepared you are, the more confident you’ll feel. Keep your mistakes to a minimum, as the passing limit is set at 8 errors or fewer. Trust in your preparation and approach each question methodically. We highly recommend using our practice tests and the Minnesota Driver’s Manual to ensure a solid understanding of the material and maximize your chances of passing on your first attempt.
