Welcome to our North Carolina DMV Written Test Study Guide practice test, an intuitive tool that can help you master driving theory. It consists of 20 multiple-choice questions based on the official North Carolina Driver Handbook (North Carolina DMV Handbook (NC Driver's Manual) 2026). To reflect the latest updates brought by DMV rules or state law, we have recently updated this practice test for February 2026. You will always practice using the latest version.
We believe students unfamiliar with driving theory should ignore their scores during their first few attempts. This practice test can also be used for educational purposes, thanks to its helpful features. Do not get discouraged if you make a mistake. Instead, you should learn from it with the help of our immediate feedback feature, which provides a detailed explanation of the correct answer. Please note this explanation down in a notebook or notebook app and revisit the material during future training sessions.
