FREE Illinois DMV Practice Test #6 Page 2 of 3
For January 2025, this set of Illinois DMV practise tests has been updated. It includes questions based on the most important traffic signs and rules for 2025 from the Illinois Driver Handbook. To study for the DMV driving permit test and driver's licence exam, use actual questions that are very similar (often identical!) to the DMV driving permit test and driver's licence exam.
Each question on the practise exam has a tip and explanation to help you recall the ideas. Questions about traffic rules, traffic signs, and driving statutes, as well as information from the Driver Handbook, will be included in the written portion of the official DMV test.
You must properly answer 38 of the 35 questions to receive a passing mark. To help you prepare for your Illinois instruction permit or driver's licence, take our DMV practise test.
The DMV exam is offered in a variety of languages.
Using any form of testing help will result in an automatic fail, and the DMV may take further action against your driver's licence, so avoid it.

18 . After a train clears a crossing that has flashing signals, drivers may proceed only after the lights have stopped flashing and no second train is coming on another track.
At a railroad crossing, a driver may proceed only after the gate is all the way up, the lights are no longer flashing, or the flagger has signaled traffic to proceed. A driver should visually check all the tracks for any additional oncoming trains or railroad equipment before proceeding.
