Free Utah DMV Permit Practice Test 2025

Obtaining your Utah DMV learner permit requires a vision screening and passing a written permit knowledge test. The test includes 50 multiple-choice questions on such topics as road rules, road signs, safe driving practices, emergency procedures, and sharing the road. It’s based on information in the state’s Utah DMV 2025 Driver’s Manual. To pass, you must score at least 80% (18 out of 50 questions) at the DMV. You can attempt to pass the test twice each day (if business hours allow); however, if you fail the second time, you must make an appointment for retesting (and pay a retest fee for every set of three attempts).

Our free state-manual-based online Utah DMV Permit Practice Test helps you avoid the need for retests and mimics real exam conditions. The test is updated for May 2025 and provides instant feedback for incorrect responses with 50 dedicated Utah practice test questions to get your driver’s permit.

Utah’s Graduated Driver’s License (GDL) program incrementally adds driving privileges for drivers under 18. The entry-level learner’s permit is the first phase and is available to drivers as young as 15. In addition to the vision screening and knowledge test, it requires a parent, guardian, or other responsible adult to sign for financial responsibility. At age 16, you can upgrade to the 6-month learner permit, provided you complete the driver’s education program and have held the entry-level permit for at least six months. Once this is held for at least six months and you are at least 16½, you can apply for a full license (you must ace the online Highway Safety and Trends Exam). Note: Minors can only carry family members for the first six months.

If you’re at least 18 years old, you can bypass the GDL holding requirements. You must pass the road skills test and Utah’s Highway Safety and Trends Exam, but there is no holding period as long as a driver’s education program has been passed.

Once prepared, go to the DMV with proof of your identity (birth certificate, passport), Social Security card, two proofs of Utah residency, proof of driver’s education program completion, and proof of legal/lawful status. If you’re under 18, you will need your parent or guardian to provide proof of their identity and consent for your application. Submit the documents, pass a vision screening, pay the fee, and pass the official written test.
