DMV Permit Test #8
FREE Ohio DMV Practice Test #8 Page 5 of 5
The practise exams for Ohio's DMV have been revised for January 2025. It comprises questions based on the most important traffic signals and laws for 2025 from the Ohio 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 knowledge from the Driver Handbook, will be included in the written portion of the official Ohio DMV test.
You must properly answer 35 of the 40 questions to receive a passing mark. To help you prepare for your instruction permit or driver's licence, take this practise test from the Ohio Department of Motor Vehicles.
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.

Straight down the middle of the road.
If an approaching driver fails to dim their high beams, glance toward the right side of the road. This will keep you from being blinded by the other vehicle’s headlights and will allow you to see enough of the road to stay on course until the other vehicle has passed.
