If you’re interested in obtaining a driver’s license in Virginia, you’re probably aware of the official written knowledge exam. This test has two parts: one part on road signs and the other on general driving knowledge. To pass, you must answer all road sign questions correctly and score 80% or higher on the general driving knowledge exam. If you’re under 18 and fail the exam, you must wait 15 days before retaking it. Adults can try again as soon as the next business day. After three failures, completion of the classroom portion of a Virginia-approved driver training school program is necessary regardless of the applicant’s age.
On exam day, you should show up confident and prepared at the DMV location. To ace both parts of the official written knowledge test, we recommend reading the official Virginia Driver’s Manual (Virginia DMV Handbook (VA Driver's Manual) 2026) multiple times and training with our practice test for several weeks. All you need to access our Virginia DMV Written Test Study Guide practice test is a compatible device and a stable internet connection. Since we have implemented a simple and straightforward user interface, anyone can control the practice test regardless of their computer skills.
