Based on official North Dakota exam questions

Free ND DOT Diagnostic Test 2025

  • Perfect for learner’s permit, driver’s license, and senior refresher test.

The Enchanted Highway features the world’s largest scrap metal sculptures. However, it could be a depressing route for you without a North Dakota driver’s license. If your lack of driving freedom is leaving you feeling a little iced out, you should prepare to take the North Dakota driver’s knowledge test. With a little study time and a proven test preparation strategy, you will be on your way to thawing out and showing off your expert driving skills.

If your knowledge of safe driving is limited to the basics, you will find the official knowledge test challenging. You’ll need to demonstrate your familiarity with road signs, signals, and traffic rules. Are you confident in your knowledge of these things, or do you need a little instruction? North Dakota requires you to answer 80% of the 25 questions correctly to receive an instruction permit or driver’s license. Although you may find some of the knowledge test questions relatively easy, there are 15 questions known for taking the wheels off of North Dakotans’ efforts to pass. These questions may be difficult because they are written in a confusing manner or their answer choices require relatively deep analysis. Don’t leave it to guesswork!

Your best study option is our free North Dakota DOT Diagnostic Driving practice test. It is based on the most recent North Dakota DOT driver’s manual (North Dakota DMV Handbook (ND Driver's Manual) 2025) and up to date as of November 2025. You won’t need to worry about those 15 questions any longer. The practice test will provide you with expert instruction that fills you with the knowledge and confidence needed to pass the official test on the first try. Study guides can’t make the same claim. By merely providing you with the correct answer to memorize, study guides limit your ability to answer a question confidently. The practice test gives you immediate feedback on any wrong answers you submit. A detailed explanation of the correct answer is given so you can grasp the information. This approach is useful because you will be able to apply the information as you reason through the test questions. The practice test is your key to a passing score and safe driving skills.
