Free TN DMV Driving Test Practice 2025

It takes Jack Daniels four years to make whiskey, but you can learn the rules of the road much quicker. Before you can be granted a Tennessee learner’s permit, a thorough knowledge of traffic laws and safe driving practices is essential. You must demonstrate your competency to operate a vehicle safely and responsibly by passing an official driver’s knowledge test (along with meeting some other requirements). Do you know how to read road signs, determine rights-of-way, or understand parking restrictions? If not, you’ll find yourself at the mercy of family, friends, ridesharing, and public transportation to meet your transportation needs. It’s time to start learning what you’ll need to know to earn your driving privileges.

Our free Tennessee DMV Permit Practice Test provides the comprehensive training necessary for developing the skills needed to pass the official knowledge test. The practice test contains 20 multiple-choice questions to assess your current knowledge level and provides progressive instruction to enhance your driving skills. It consists of questions like the ones you’ll see on the official knowledge test. You must answer 80% of the 20 questions correctly to receive a passing score. The practice test is the most effective and time-efficient way of learning. There are a host of on-line resources that you could use, but the practice test stands out as being interactive and highly informative.

This Permit Practice Test is designed to expertly prepare you to pass the official knowledge test and make you a better driver. It is based on the most recent Tennessee DMV driver’s manual (Tennessee DMV Handbook (TN Driver's Manual) 2025) and up to date as of May 2025. If you get a question wrong, you will receive a detailed explanation of the correct answer. By taking this extra step, the practice test sets itself apart from any study guide. Study guides merely train you to memorize the answers to the questions. The extra information provided by the practice test gives you the reasoning behind the answer. You will be equipped with the skills and confidence needed to pass your official knowledge test and exhibit extraordinary driving practices.

If Nashville’s idea of Broadway isn’t what you have in mind, you can find practice tests for other U.S. states and Washington D.C. at https://driving-tests.org/academy/drivers-license.
