Virginia commuters, are you ready to trade your seat on the Silver Line for a ride through the Bay Bridge Tunnel? Such a proposition could certainly be more time efficient for you, but you’re going to need a Virginia driver’s license. While there are many advantages to having the freedom to commute on your own time, the process of getting your license can leave you feeling like you’re riding the Griffon.
While you may already know the basics of safely operating a vehicle, Virginia requires you to pass an 40-question knowledge test on driving theory. To pass, you must correctly answer all ten questions on traffic signs and 80% of the ten general-knowledge questions. That criterion leaves you little room for error in taking your driver’s license knowledge test. If you choose to budget your time reviewing the things you already know, you risk failing because some of the questions are complicated and require a bit more thought. Where should you turn to fill in those knowledge gaps? Don’t freak out! You have the best resource for knowledge test preparation at your disposal.

Our free Virginia DMV Diagnostic Driving practice test is based on the most recent Virginia Driver’s Manual and is up to date as of January 2026. This practice test consists of 8 questions identified as the most commonly missed on the Virginia knowledge test. These questions are just like the ones on the official test and can help prepare you for any potential pitfalls. There is no need to worry about missing a question. That’s just wasted energy. Any wrong answer you submit is highlighted, and a detailed explanation of the correct one is provided. This approach clears up any misunderstanding and increases your chance of passing the official test on the first try. The instruction that you receive from the practice test is more valuable than using a study guide. While the practice test provides you with the information that makes the answer correct, study guides are only designed to help you settle on memorizing the answer.
