Free Nebraska DMV Permit Practice Test 2025

To obtain a Nebraska DMV School Learner’s Permit (LPE), you must be at least 14 years old and pass a vision screening and written knowledge test unless driver’s education is underway. Completing a driver’s education course waives the knowledge and road test requirements. The knowledge test consists of 25 multiple-choice questions covering material as outlined in the state’s Nebraska DMV 2025 Driver’s Manual. To pass, you must score at least 80% (20 out of 25 questions). If you fail, you must wait until the next business day and pay a retest fee.

Our free online Nebraska DMV Permit Practice Test is updated for May 2025 and mimics actual exam conditions with questions and answers to facilitate passing the first time. To speed learning, immediate feedback is provided on all questions.

Nebraska’s Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) program, designed to help minors gradually gain driving experience, begins with the LPE which allows supervised driving (licensed driver aged 21+) to and from school. After holding the LPE for at least two months, you can apply for the School Permit (SCP), designed for teens living or attending schools outside a city of 5,000 or more. To qualify, you must complete an approved safety course or log 50 supervised driving hours (10 at night). This permit allows solo driving to and from school (with passenger limitations). At age 15, you can apply for the Learner’s Permit (LPD), which requires supervision but broadens the drivable range. After holding the LPD for six months, drivers aged 16–17 can apply for the Provisional Operator’s Permit (POP), which allows unsupervised driving from 6 a.m. to midnight, with a one-passenger limit for non-family members under 19 for the first six months. After 12 months of maintaining a clean driving record, you can apply for an unrestricted Operator’s License.

If you’re 18 or older, you can skip the GDL phases, including obtaining a learner’s permit. However, you must pass the vision, knowledge, and road skills test to obtain your unrestricted license.

To apply for the permit, go to the DMV with proof of identity (birth certificate, passport), Social Security card, and two proofs of residence (utility bill, bank statement). If you’re under 18, you will need signed consent (in person) from a parent or legal guardian. Submit the documents, pass a vision screening, pay the fee, and pass the official written test.
