Beyond the bright lights, pulsating nightlife, and broken hearts of bad luck gamblers along the Las Vegas Strip, Nevada offers an abundance of natural beauty. The ski lodges in Lake Tahoe may be calling you, but without a Nevada driver’s license, you will be down on your luck getting there. Don’t let the snow melt and spoil your fun! It’s time to get up to speed on the rules and regulations governing the state’s public roads.

The Nevada driver’s knowledge test assesses your familiarity with road signs and signals, traffic laws, and safe driving practices. You need to answer 80% of the 25 questions correctly to earn a passing score and receive an instruction permit. This requirement requires you to thoroughly know the information and be able to show it. The knowledge test presents some unique challenges. Often, standardized test questions are written in a way that may be complex and confusing. You will need to carefully analyze the questions and answer choices to avoid making costly mistakes. Fortunately, you have access to a resource to prepare you to become an expert driver.

About the Nevada learner permit

Our free Nevada DMV Diagnostic Driving practice test is based on the most recent Nevada Driver Handbook (Nevada DMV Handbook (NV Driver's Manual) 2025) and up to date as of December 2025. The practice test includes 8 questions like the ones that Nevadans frequently miss on the Nevada official knowledge test. It is a useful tool for assessing your readiness to take the knowledge test. The practice test is superior to and more efficient than a study guide. Study guides will give you a correct answer, but you will be left without an explanation of it. In comparison, if you miss a question on the practice test, it provides a detailed explanation of the information that would make the answer correct. This approach equips you with a clear understanding of the information that helps you arrive at logical conclusions and increases your chance of passing your official test on the first try.

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