TN DMV Written Test Simulator – Study Online 2025

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

Planning to take a scenic drive through the Great Smoky Mountains via the Newfound Gap Road? Or savor the vistas from the Cherohala Skyway? Or commute to work in Nashville, Memphis, or Knoxville in your own car? Great! But if you don’t have a driver license, you’ll have to depend on others to drive you everywhere. Not good.

To get a license, you must first obtain a learner permit so you can practice driving. To do this, you must be at least 15 years old and pass a vision screening and the official DMV 30-question knowledge test. The passing score for the knowledge test is 80%. You should study the official driver’s manual (Tennessee DMV Handbook (TN Driver's Manual) 2025) because the knowledge test questions are based on it. But if that’s all you do to prepare for the knowledge test, you can’t be sure of passing it. (Nearly 60% – more than half – of applicants fail the DMV knowledge test on their first try.)

We’ve developed a knowledge test preparation program that ensures you learn everything you need to pass the knowledge test. Our practice tests are based on the official driver’s manual. The automated assistant accompanying each practice test can help you learn the material by supplying hints and explanations of the correct answers. We even have an audiobook version of the official manual, which you can listen to anytime, anywhere. If you’ve taken full advantage of these study tools, you’ve likely learned a lot about driving safely. We guarantee our program works – or your money back!

But now comes the crucial question: Do you feel ready to take the official knowledge test now? Let’s make sure!

This Exam Simulator practice test you’re about to take operates in Simulated Exam Mode to closely resemble official exam conditions. The test consists of 30 questions based on the official manual, just like the questions on the official DMV permit test. The passing score is 80%, just like the official permit test. There are no hints, no explanations, and no automated assistant to help you answer the test questions. On this Exam Simulator test, you’re on your own, just like on the official knowledge test!

Do you tend to experience test anxiety when taking official tests? This Exam Simulator test is so realistic that you may even experience a little anxiety when taking it. Better now than on the official test! By giving you a realistic test experience now, your fear of the unknown will be reduced, and your anxiety level may drop.

Good luck!
