FREE District Of Columbia DMV Practical Test Page 3 of 3
This set of District of Columbia DMV practise tests include questions based on the District of Columbia Driver Handbook's most significant traffic signs and laws. Use actual questions that are very similar (often identical!) to the DMV driving permit test and driver's licence exam to study for the DMV driving permit test and driver's licence exam.
On the practise exam, each question gets a tip and explanation to help you remember the concepts. The written component of the official DMV test will include questions about traffic rules, traffic signs, and driving statutes, as well as information from the Driver Handbook.
To achieve the required passing grade, you must correctly answer 20 of the 25 questions. Take our DMV practise exam to help you prepare for your District of Columbia instruction permit or driver's licence.
