Free North Dakota DOT Permit Practice Test 2025

The written permit knowledge test that you must pass to obtain the North Dakota DOT learner’s permit includes 25 multiple-choice questions covering road signs, signals, pavement markings, traffic laws, communicating, parking, distracted driving, driving responsibly, and penalties, as outlined in the state’s North Dakota DOT 2025 Driver’s Manual. To pass, you must score at least 80% (20 out of 25 questions), and testing must take place in person at the DOT or through the online program called “Know to Drive.” If you fail the knowledge test, you must wait until the next business day and pay a retest fee. Our practice tests help ensure you are ready to pass the first time.

The learner’s permit is the first phase of North Dakota’s Graduated Driver’s License (GDL) program for minors. You can apply for a learner’s permit at age 14 by passing a vision screening and knowledge test. Once you’ve obtained a permit, you must have a licensed adult in the front seat whenever you drive. After holding the permit for 12 months and turning 15, you can pass the road test and apply for a restricted license. With a restricted license, you are allowed to drive alone between 5 am and 9 pm. Between 9 pm and 5 am, you must be supervised by a licensed adult. When you turn 16 and have held your restricted license for at least 12 months, you can apply for an unrestricted license.

If you are 18 or older, you must obtain a learner’s permit with the same procedures and restrictions. However, after practicing with a licensed driver, you can take the road skills test whenever you’re ready. The additional GDL requirements do not apply to you.

Our free online North Dakota DOT Permit Practice Test mirrors real exam conditions, with questions and answers based on the state manual. Reflecting the latest state driver’s manual, the test is updated for June 2025 and provides instant feedback for incorrect responses. Once you’ve prepared, go to the DOT with proof of your identity and date of birth (birth certificate, passport), your Social Security card, and proof of residency (utility bill, rental agreement). If you’re under 18, you’ll need a parent or guardian present to sign your application form. Submit the documents, pass a vision screening, pay the fee, and pass the official written test.
