Welcome to our Pennsylvania DOT Written Test Study Guide practice test. This tool has been designed to help you master driving theory through active learning. Having such an efficient tool in your learning phase significantly boosts your learning potential. With unlimited attempts and nonstop access, you can easily incorporate this practice test into your study routine. All 20 multiple-choice questions are based on the official Pennsylvania Driver’s Manual (Pennsylvania DOT Handbook (PA Driver's Manual) 2025). This handbook describes the various aspects of driving theory in detail, and we recommend reading its contents at least once.

Customize your testing experience with the “Test settings” menu on the left side of the page.

From here, you can activate the voice-over function. Use this feature to increase your focus and eliminate distractions. An artificial voice will read the questions and answer choices aloud, allowing you to retain information through auditory learning. Keyboard shortcuts are also available to help you control the practice test with your keyboard. To see the complete list of keyboard shortcuts available, use the “Shift + ?” key combination.
