This Missouri DOR practice test is current for January 2026 and covers 20 of the most essential road signs and rules questions directly from the official 2026 MO Driver Handbook. In Missouri, what most people call the “DMV” is officially the DOR (Department of Revenue). You’ll take the written test — often called the Class F written test or knowledge test. You are eligible for your instruction permit in Missouri starting at age 15, which you can receive by passing a written test, vision test, road sign test, and providing appropriate forms of ID, as well as paying a fee of $3.50. The instruction permit will then be valid for up to 12 months. The written test has 25 multiple-choice questions, and you must answer 20 of them correctly to get the passing score you need to receive your permit. You must have your instruction permit for at least six months and complete at least 40 hours of driving instruction, which must include 10 hours or more of nighttime driving before you can move to an intermediate license, which will allow you to drive unsupervised and is valid until age 18. The Missouri State Highway Patrol is in charge of administering the written test; when you’re ready, you can find a list of their locations online. This practice test will help you prepare by covering all the information from the 2026 Missouri Driver Guide that may be on the written and road sign exams.

I really liked the way the tests were presented!
It was considerably easier and more fun learning from the questions and answers than it would have been reading that entire Missouri Driver's Handbook. As it turned out, I did not need to take a test, other than to identify a few signs. I got them all right, thanks to the practice tests. Thanks!

Passed easily!
Using these practice tests to study for the Missouri permit test was great. I didn’t have to read the handbook at all and I passed the test easily! Now I’m studying with it to get my license.
