Vermont DMV Written Permit Test Questions & Answers (Test #5) 2026

Before you may legally practice driving in the Green Mountain State, you must be at least 15 years old and pass the Vermont DMV Knowledge Examination and vision screening. Though the knowledge test is offered online, the vision screening is conducted on site. Once you submit the application, provide required documentation, pay fees, and pass these tests, you may be issued a Learner’s Permit. (Your parent or guardian must sign the application if you’re under 18.) This permit allows supervised driving only and is the first step in Vermont’s Graduated Driver’s License (GDL) program.

The official knowledge test consists of 20 multiple-choice questions. A minimum score of 80% is required. The official exam evaluates your understanding of Vermont traffic laws, road signs, right-of-way principles, safe speeds, and responsible driving behavior in real-world situations. This level of understanding requires judgment and decision making that is not achieved by memorizing outdated study guides or static pdfs. You need an interactive platform with photorealistic questions that challenge your decision-making skills. That is precisely what our Vermont DMV Written Permit Test Questions & Answers Practice Tests provide.

With a valid Learner’s Permit, you may drive only when accompanied by a licensed, unimpaired supervising driver seated in the front passenger seat. The supervisor must be a parent or guardian, a certified driver education instructor, or an individual who is at least 25 years old.

You must hold your Learner’s Permit for at least one year before becoming eligible for a Junior Driver’s License. You must complete driver education along with a minimum of 40 hours of supervised practice driving (including 10 hours at night). You must also pass an official road test. If you are still under 18 at this point, you must get parental or guardian permission again before being issued a Junior Driver’s License. If you are 18 or older, you must still obtain the permit by satisfying its requirements; however, the time requirements are not applicable. You may take your Road (Skills) Test whenever you feel prepared. Official test material includes distracted driving, impaired driving, safe following distances, proper signaling, and yielding responsibilities. These state-specific requirements are covered in our practice tests.

Our practice tests mirror the structure of the official 20-question exam. Our series features AI-powered interactivity for each response and a Challenge Bank™ that recycles any questions you miss until you prove mastery.
