How to Get Your Idaho Learner’s Permit

Most people think one or two quizzes is enough - then the DMV knowledge exam surprises them. On Driving-Tests.org, every question is based on the official Idaho Driver’s Manual and written in real exam style: tricky wording, double-negatives, and the same pitfalls people miss at the counter.

Perfect for new residents.
We are new residents of Idaho and in order to get our license we have to take a test! We're senior citizens so testing isn't exactly something we are good at. We signed up for driving-tests.org thinking hopefully it would help. It's more than we expected! Wrong answers are thoroughly explained and questions are asked again so you have chances to learn and get it right. When I read through the Idaho Driving Manual everything in there was on the driving-tests.org had given!
