West Virginia Permit Practice Test Four 2025

Average pass rate for driving tests in West Virginia: 58%.
Average pass rate for this test: 61%.
Moderate
6 min

Once you get a West Virginia driver’s license, you’ll be able to drive yourself to work in Charleston or the chemical, energy, healthcare, or manufacturing sector. Or take in the vistas along the Highland Scenic Highway, the Midland Trail National Scenic Byway, or the New River Gorge Scenic Drive. Or drive anywhere else you wish.

But what if you fail the DMV knowledge test for an instruction 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.

Unfortunately, roughly half of applicants have failed the official knowledge test on their first try. Evidently, just reading the official driver’s manual (West Virginia DMV Handbook (WV Driver's Manual) 2025) before the knowledge test did not prepare them well enough to pass it.

We have created learning tools to supplement the official driver’s manual and ensure you pass the knowledge test on your first try. This is our fourth West Virginia Permit Practice Test. Like our first three permit practice tests, it’s intended to help aspiring drivers like you pass the DMV knowledge test. Like the official knowledge test, this practice test is multiple choice. You must choose the best or most complete answer for each question. And like the official knowledge test, this practice test is based on the official West Virginia driver’s manual.

About the West Virginia learner permit

Our AI Assistant can help you with any practice test question. If you get stuck on a question, ask it to elaborate or give you a hint. You can also ask it your own questions about driving. If you still miss the question, the AI Assistant will provide you with the correct answer and an explanation.

Unfortunately, we can’t give you a PDF list of the exact West Virginia questions and answers you’ll encounter on your official knowledge test. The DMV randomly draws test questions from an extensive database of available questions. It’s impossible to predict which questions it will draw for your test.

However, our practice test questions have proven close to the official questions. And we have two PDF “cheat sheets” (in the sense of quick references, not for actual cheating!) that you can download: “The Top 100 Most Common US DMV Questions” and “The 121 Most Common US Road Signs Questions.” These are the questions most likely to appear on your knowledge test. Each question listed comes with the correct answer, which you should study and memorize.

Finally, we have a fifth West Virginia Permit Practice Test for you. Please give it a try!

We know what it takes to pass. And we’ve got the proof.

Driver’s Ed is - nobody wants to set foot inside the DMV. That’s why millions of learners trust us for simple, visual, effective prep.
