Free MN DVS Diagnostic Test 2025

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

You want to get out of The Cities and head Up North to Lake Superior for some fun and recreation on the water. However, without a Minnesota driver’s license, you will find yourself dry-docked at the Mall of The Americas. Fear not, captain! You won’t have to be a land rover for very long. Since you already know the difference between leeward and windward, it’s safe to assume you can grasp the rules of the road. However, before you can be on your way to shoving off the dock, you’ll need to spend some quality study time.

The best way to begin studying for your Minnesota knowledge test is to get familiar with road signs and traffic laws. Since Minnesota requires you to answer 80% of the 40 questions correctly, you will not have much leeway for wrong answers. You can expect to encounter some questions that are written in a confusingly complex way. The purpose of this feature is to make you think and show that you thoroughly know the information. There are 15 questions on the official knowledge test commonly missed by Minnesotans. If you want smooth sailing, you will need to be prepared for them.

Our free Minnesota DVS Diagnostic Driving practice test is based on the most recent Minnesota driver’s manual (Minnesota DMV Handbook (MN Driver's Manual) 2025) and up to date as of November 2025. The practice test is designed to help you breeze past those tricky questions. You will gain a clear understanding of the road rules you need to know to successfully pass your official knowledge test on the first try. The practice test includes questions like the ones commonly missed on the official test. If you get a question wrong, you will receive immediate feedback that includes an explanation of the correct answer. Unlike a study guide that helps you memorize and repeat the answers, the practice test provides useful instruction that generates real learning. If you want to get your wheels rolling, there is no substitute for this advanced level of instruction.

If your compass is leading you away from the North Star State, you can find practice tests for the entire nation at https://driving-tests.org/academy/drivers-license.
