If you know what it means to be a Blackshirt, where Carhenge is, and how to detassel, you are likely a proud Nebraska resident. How about the rules of safe driving? Do you have the decision-making skills necessary to safely operate a vehicle? If not, you’ll find it challenging to roam about the Dissected Till Plains. A Nebraska driver’s license is your pass to navigating the open road through the prairies and over the Sand Hills. However, you’ll need to answer 80% of the 8 questions correctly on the Nebraska learner’s permit knowledge test to get it. It’s time to put together a winning game plan worthy of Cornhusker approval to successfully pass your knowledge test.

This free Nebraska DMV Diagnostic Driving practice test expertly prepares you for your knowledge test by assessing the strengths and weaknesses of your driving skills. Since time management is a crucial element in effective studying, the practice test is designed to help you budget your time wisely. If you focus on the things you already know, you are leaving yourself open to being knocked out by the more complex questions. The practice test consists of 8 of the most commonly missed questions on the Nebraska knowledge test to assess your readiness. Once you know your areas for improvement, it’ll be easier to prepare to pass the official test on the first try.

About the Nebraska learner permit

Based on the most recent Nebraska Driver’s Manual and up to date as of December 2025, the practice test uses a different approach than popular study guides. While study guides are designed to help you memorize the answers to the questions, the practice test provides you with the detailed information that makes the answers correct. For each incorrect answer you submit, feedback is provided to help you understand how to correct your mistake. This information is not only useful in taking your official test but can be applied to your daily driving.

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