While the stars may shine bright in Big Sky country, you might feel lusterless without a Montana driver’s license. From rafting on the Yellowstone River to taking in the nightlife in Bozeman, there are lots of fun, excitement, and scenic views to behold. You should get behind the wheel to enjoy the full experience. Montana requires you to pass a driving knowledge test to earn a learner’s permit or driver’s license. You must answer 82% of the 33 questions correctly to receive a passing score. This requirement is a little higher than those of most other states for the purpose of making road safety a priority. It suggests that you’ll need to prepare for your knowledge test with a resource capable of producing outstanding results.

This free Montana Diagnostic Driving practice test offers proven study techniques to prepare you for complex and confusing questions. Even if you already know some basic commonsensical driving practices, you will need to prepare yourself to go beyond the fundamentals of traffic laws and driver safety. The practice test includes 8 questions like the ones that have been identified as sticky wickets for most Montanans. These questions will make you crazy as a loon while trying to analyze their complexities. Oftentimes, the wording of the question is confusing and the potential answers are difficult to contrast. It would be unwise for you to wrestle with these questions and leave yourself second-guessing.

About the Montana learner permit

Our Diagnostic Driving practice test will enable you to fill in any knowledge gaps that could present a problem for you. The practice test is based on the most recent Montana MVD driver’s manual (Montana DMV Handbook (MT Driver's Manual) 2025) and is up to date as of December 2025. You can use the practice test to put the worry of those 8 difficult questions out of your mind. You may have used a study guide to prepare for tests in the past, but the practice test is much more effective and a real time-saver. Instead of simply providing you with the correct answers to memorize, the practice test is interactive and helps you understand what you may not already know. If you submit a wrong answer, you’ll be provided a detailed explanation of the correct one. You will benefit by gaining a clear understanding of the information so that you won’t have to rely on guesswork on the knowledge test and possibly fail it.

We know what it takes to pass. And we’ve got the proof.
