Like the official test, our practice test draws questions from Vermont driving laws and the state driver’s manual. Furthermore, practice tests are good for students because they help:

• Build confidence. Nothing sabotages a test-taker like nerves, especially when the stakes are as high as whether or not you will qualify for a learners permit or license. Take a practice test a few times to get more comfortable with the testing process and the material.
• Organize studying. If you cannot say exactly what you know or how well you know it, a DMV permit practice test is a good way to get a sense of which topics you no longer have to study and which ones you should spend more time on. Take the test the first time before you start studying to see how you score, and then track your results as you come back to the questions you repeatedly answered incorrectly.
