View All PlansThe process for earning your North Carolina learner’s permit requires you to demonstrate your knowledge of road rules and safe driving practices. If you’re ready to get started, you’ll need to enlist the help of a reliable resource to advance your understanding of these subjects. While it’s not the rocket science taught in Raleigh, learning traffic laws, rights-of-way, parking regulations, and general safe driving practices requires concentrated study. There are several requirements you must meet before getting your learner’s permit. One of the main items on that list is passing an official driver’s knowledge test. This test will require you to exhibit your readiness to safely and responsibly operate a vehicle.
While it’s not difficult to find an on-line study guide, our North Carolina DMV Permit Practice Test is the premier resource for getting ready for your official knowledge test. This practice test will help you advance your current driving skills to the next level. It uses questions just like the ones you’ll see on the official knowledge test so that you’ll know what to expect. You must answer 80% of the 25 questions correctly to earn a passing grade. The 20 multiple-choice questions on the practice test will challenge you to think through the information necessary to arrive at the correct answer. This approach is useful in helping identify and correct your knowledge gaps.
The Permit Practice Test is the most effective and time-efficient resource for learning everything you need to know to pass the official knowledge test and develop extraordinary driving skills. It is based on the most recent North Carolina DMV driver’s manual (North Carolina DMV Handbook (NC Driver's Manual) 2025) and up to date as of November 2025. Study guides fail to measure up to the standards of the practice test. The practice test offers more thorough instruction. If you get a question wrong, you will receive a detailed explanation of the correct answer. In comparison, a study guide helps you memorize the answers to the questions without providing supporting information.
