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) 2025) 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.
If you have difficulty understanding a question, you can initiate a conversation with our automated assistant to get clarification. The AI coach can rephrase a question, provide real-life examples, and give you hints that nudge you in the right direction without revealing the correct answer. It can also provide personalized answers to your individual questions, making it easier for you to learn even the most complex topics.
You can activate the answer popularity feature from the “Test settings” menu on the left side of the page. This function displays a percentage for each answer choice, giving you valuable insight into the choices made by other users. Pay attention to the questions where misconceptions are more common and study the reasoning behind the correct answer.
Becoming a safe and responsible driver in Virginia takes more than a passing score. You must fully master this subject before you can get behind the wheel of your favorite vehicle.
