- Based on official North Carolina Driver's manual
NC DMV Written Test Simulator – Study Online 2024
Your North Carolina driver’s license can be your ticket to a new world of travel, employment opportunities, and fun. Take I-77 or I-85 to work in Charlotte. Thrill to the views from the Blue Ridge Parkway. Or head to Lexington on I-85 or Ayden on U.S. 64 for some Carolina-style pulled pork.
However, if you fail to obtain a driver’s license, you’ll have to depend on others to drive you around everywhere. A big step to obtaining a license is to pass the official DMV traffic signs test and 25-question knowledge test. Are you thinking, “That’s easy. No problem!”? Not so! A stunning 70% of applicants have failed the North Carolina knowledge test on their first try.
We wanted to ensure that didn’t happen to you, so we provided you with many additional tools for more effective learning. Our audiobook version of the official driver’s manual (North Carolina DMV Handbook (NC Driver's Manual) 2024) allowed you to listen to the text of the manual, even when you were performing other activities. Our other North Carolina practice tests dealt with a wide range of topics based on the manual, including road signs, road signals, and pavement markings; the rules of the road; techniques for safe driving; and even the legal penalties for violating some traffic rules. Our automated assistant was there to help you learn, with hints and explanations of the correct answers. We hope you found these tools helpful and you learned a lot about safe driving by using them.
At this point, do you believe you’re ready to take the official traffic signs test and knowledge test? Let’s make sure before you head to an DMV driver license office!
This Exam Simulator test works in Exam Mode to closely resemble official exam conditions. There are 25 questions, just like on the official North Carolina DMV permit test. The passing score is 80%, just like the official permit test. There are no hints and no explanations. Our automated assistant is nowhere to be found. The test ends prematurely if you fail it. On this test, you’re on your own!
Please don’t use any external resources, such as the official driver’s manual or ChatGPT, to help you answer the questions. You won’t be allowed to use them on the official knowledge test. You should get an honest assessment of your readiness to pass an exam. You may even experience some of the pressure of taking a formal exam without any external help. This test experience will reduce the chance that you’ll encounter an unpleasant surprise on the official exam.
Good luck!

Content Creation and Verification Process
- Alignment with Official Manuals:
Every question we develop is based on the most recent version of each state's official driving manual. Our team regularly monitors each state DMV's website for the latest updates to ensure our practice tests are always aligned with the most current information. - Community Feedback Integration:
We leverage feedback from our vast community of users to understand which topics are most frequently tested. This helps us focus on the areas that are most relevant and beneficial for your preparation. - Expert Content Creation:
Our in-house editor, Steven, who has extensive experience in driver education, crafts each question with precision. He conducts a thorough review of each question against the official manuals to ensure accuracy. - Rigorous Review Process:
Once Steven has finalized a set of questions, our team conducts a joint review session. This second level of scrutiny involves content accuracy, proofreading, and fact-checking to eliminate any errors. - User Feedback Mechanism:
After a question goes live on our site, we keep the lines of communication open. Each question features a feedback button, inviting users to report any issues or errors. This continuous feedback loop allows us to address and rectify any concerns promptly. - Responsive Updates:
In line with our commitment to accuracy, we quickly update our practice questions to reflect any changes in the DMV manuals. Additionally, we update the free electronic copy of the state's driver's license manuals on our site, typically within a few days after the DMV publishes them.
