To drive legally in Washington, you must pass the official DOL Permit Test. The test covers road signs and traffic rules from the official Washington Driver Guide (Washington Driver Guide).

The Washington DOL written test has 40 multiple-choice questions, with the same format and scoring as the real DOL exam. The passing score is 80% (32 correct).

This is our second Washington Permit Practice Test, current for May 2026 and based on the official Washington Driver Guide. Each question has four answer options – choose the best one. If you’re unsure, optional hints can help (the real DOL exam has no hints).

If you make a mistake, read the explanation so you don’t repeat it. You can retake the test as often as you want; questions will be randomized each time.

How to use Washington Test 2

Treat this as a second read, not a repeat of the first practice test.

1

Start with Construction Zones

This is one of the main areas in this test pool, so review the rule before another scored attempt.

2

Use fresh wording for WA rules

Test 2 changes the question mix so you can separate understanding from memorized answers.

3

Move to Test 3 after repeat misses drop

Use Test 3 to confirm that construction zones plus lane changes and passing no longer pull your score down.
