VA DMV Written Test Simulator – Study Online 2025

  • Perfect for learner’s permit, driver’s license, and senior refresher test.

With a driver’s license, you’ll be able to drive yourself to work in Richmond, Hampton Roads, or Northern Virginia (NOVA) via Interstate 64, 95, or 495 (the Capital Beltway). You can also take in the views of the Blue Ridge Mountains from the Blue Ridge Parkway or savor the vistas from the scenic overlooks on Skyline Drive. Or drive anywhere else you desire.

But what if you fail the knowledge exam for a learner’s permit? Then, compared with the freedom of a driver’s license, you’ll be effectively grounded. You won’t even be able to practice driving under supervision. You’ll have to depend on others to drive you around when they can.

You may be thinking, “The knowledge exam is easy. I’ll just read the official driver’s manual (Virginia DMV Handbook (VA Driver's Manual) 2025) a couple of times before the exam.” A lot of other aspiring drivers thought so too. But in 2020 – 2023, 48.2% – nearly half – of aspiring drivers failed the knowledge test.

To be sure of passing the knowledge test, you need to do more than just read the manual. That’s why we’ve provided you with various interactive test preparation materials to help you learn and memorize all the information you need to pass the knowledge test.

These tools include our audiobook version of the official manual, a series of practice tests with questions based on the official manual, and an automated assistant with hints and explanations to help you answer the questions on these practice tests and speed up your learning process. We hope you’ve been using these tools to study hard and learn and memorize as much as you can. We guarantee that our tools will enable you to pass the knowledge test on your first attempt – or your money back.

Now it’s time to see if you’re truly ready to ace that knowledge test!

This Exam Simulator test operates in Simulated Exam Mode to closely resemble official exam conditions. The test consists of 40 questions based on the official Virginia manual, just like those on the official DMV permit test. The passing score is 86%, just like the official permit test. There are no hints, no explanations, and no automated assistant to help you answer the test questions. You’re truly on your own!

Taking this test will also help you build confidence that you can handle a test like this. This will help reduce any test anxiety you may have about taking the official knowledge exam.

Good luck!
