Free Virginia DMV Permit Practice Test Three 2025

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

There are a multitude of on-line resources that teach safe and responsible driving skills, but you must carefully choose the best one. You need to exhibit your understanding of traffic laws and safe driving habits before getting behind the wheel of a vehicle. If you’re interested in declaring your independence from public transportation around the ‘Burg, you need to start by getting a Virginia learner’s permit. Would you like to know the best way to do it?

This free Virginia DMV Permit Practice Test will assess your driving skills and teach you the principles you don’t yet understand. There are several requirements that you need to meet for a learner’s permit, and one of them is passing the official driver’s knowledge test. You must answer 80% of the 40 questions correctly to receive a passing grade. The official knowledge test contains some questions that may be challenging for some aspiring drivers. Sometimes, they present complex scenarios and confusing phrases that may lead you to answer incorrectly. However, you can reduce their effect by equipping yourself with reliable information and effective test-taking strategies. The practice test will expertly prepare you to meet the challenges of the official knowledge test.

This Permit Practice Test facilitates your learning in a stress-free environment focused on delivering expertly designed instruction. It is based on the most recent Virginia DMV driver’s manual (Virginia DMV Handbook (VA Driver's Manual) 2025) and up to date as of November 2025. The practice test contains 20 questions similar to the ones on the official knowledge test to gauge your readiness. If you submit an incorrect answer, you can relax. You will get feedback from the practice test, including a detailed explanation of the correct answer. The information you receive will be useful for making a connection between the question and its correct answer. Unlike the practice test, a study guide will only teach you to memorize the answers to the questions without explaining the logic behind them. The practice test is your best choice for learning sound driving skills.
