FREE North Dakota DMV Practice Test #1 Page 4 of 4
North Dakota's DMV practise examinations have been updated for January 2025. It includes questions based on the North Dakota Driver Handbook's most essential traffic signals and regulations for 2025. 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 North Dakota DMV test will include questions about traffic rules, traffic signs, and driving statutes, as well as knowledge from the Driver Handbook.
To obtain a passing grade, you must correctly answer 20 of the 25 questions. Take this practise test from the North Dakota Department of Motor Vehicles to help you prepare for your instruction permit or driver's licence.
The DMV exam is available in several languages.
Using any kind of testing assistance will result in an automatic fail, and the DMV may take additional action against your driver's licence, so stay away from it.

Stop drinking one half hour before driving.
One strategy to avoid driving while impaired or intoxicated is to arrange for a ride home with a friend who does not drink.

Keep moving slowly, staying to the right side of the road.
