How to Get Your Nebraska 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 Nebraska Driver’s Manual and written in real exam style: tricky wording, double-negatives, and the same pitfalls people miss at the counter.

If you want to pass your driver's test, use this website!
It gives you a percentage of success as you do tests; for example, 40% means that you have a 40% chance of passing if you took the test the next day. Don't waste time reading through your state's driver's handbook. It's not necessary. Jump right into taking the list of tests it has planned for you and by the time you reach a 75% success rate you'll be fine. Just stay calm and don't second guess yourself when you go to take your test at the DMV.

Same questions as the real test!
The practice tests that I did had every question that was on the real test. I also only did the practice tests for one day before my permit test and passed.

Review by a pressured teen.
Hi, I am a fifteen year old teenager who will turn sixteen very soon. It seems like my life is getting older every moment. I have a lot of friends that are younger than me and they already know how to drive. This puts pressure on me and makes me feel like I'm behind. The first step to driving is to learn the rules in the state that I live in (Nebraska). driving-tests.org helped me get started and so far everything is going great.
