How to Get Your Montana Learner’s Permit

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

Accurate & extremely helpful!
This is a great complement (not replacement) to the Montana Driver's Manual. The curriculum is accurate & extremely helpful! I passed my written test in real life with a 100% after doing the 1 week study plan. Great company.

Not sure I would have passed without it.
Driving-Tests was immensely helpful to me as I prepared for my written driving test. The review questions were spot on and the practice tests helped to reinforce the knowledge I needed and gave me the confidence I needed. I'm not sure I would have passed without it.

Perfect!
Since I got my permit I have been driving to my job with my mother. It's the perfect way to total up the 50 hours I need before I get my license!
