Washington DOL Permit Practice Test Questions 2025
In Washington, the requirements for a driver’s license vary by age. Aspiring drivers aged 15½ and older normally start this process by obtaining an instruction permit. This permit is granted after providing proof of Washington residency, passing a vision exam, paying the necessary fees, and passing a 40-question knowledge exam. You must take a state-approved driver education course to qualify for a license. But you can take the course as early as age 15. If you take the course before you apply for a permit, you can postpone taking the knowledge test until you apply for a license. You must hold a learner’s permit for 6 months before you may schedule a road exam.
Adults follow a simplified and much quicker process. If you are 18 or older, start by submitting an application, paying the necessary fees, providing identification documents, and passing a vision exam. After obtaining a passing score of 80% or higher on the official written knowledge exam, you can schedule and take a driving test with no prior learner’s permit required. However, you must obtain a permit to practice supervised driving or complete an approved driver training course before the driving (road) test. Enrolling in a course allows you to waive (skip) the knowledge exam.
We’ll help you pass the knowledge exam on your first attempt. Our Washington DOL permit practice tests can be a game changer for students who struggle to understand the various aspects of driving theory. Each practice test consists of 40 multiple-choice questions based on the official Washington driver guide (Washington DOL Handbook (WA Driver's Manual) 2025). Open this resource in another browser tab while you are training with our practice test. Although this method will not be allowed during the official written knowledge exam, it is beneficial for your preparation. The most determined students often adopt a smarter approach to their learning phase. That’s why we have included several features to this intuitive tool, including a voice-over function. Once activated, an artificial voice will read the questions and answer choices aloud.
Get personalized training from our AI coach. It is available in every training session and can provide help whenever you need it. Request real-life examples, further explanations of the correct answers, or hints that nudge you in the right direction without revealing the correct answer. The most complex concepts of driving theory are easier to understand when our automated assistant explains them in simple terms. Initiate a conversation during your next session and ask away!
