We don’t issue licenses – we assist you in getting ready to take your DMV Written Test with confidence. Here’s our 2nd VA permit practice test brought to you online – which means it’s available everywhere you’re connected to the Internet, whenever you want. And, BTW, as many times as you need – no one’s gonna disturb you with payment requests – simply because our test is free. No hidden fees – or direct ones for that matter. To be completely honest, there’s no registration, either. Interested? Sure, let’s look at this – all the 40 multiple-choice questions is based on the new official Virginia Driver’s Manual, the most reliable source telling you all you should know about road signs and traffic rules – very good read, check it out.

Below is the first question with four answer options – like all the rest you’re gonna come across on this test. Select and click the right one – that’s your task. It might not be as easy as it seems – in fact, it’s not meant to be easy. That’s why we included some hints to help you – use them well and remember that no one’s gonna help you on a real DMV test. Bear in mind the progress bar on the left-hand side of the screen – it’ll mark every correct answer with green, and you’ll get the next question automatically. If the color’s red, it means you could’ve done better – if you wonder how, read our explanation – you might have a similar task on a real test. Go on to the end of the test and you’ll get your final result. Remember that the number of tries is unlimited and the tasks will be randomized each new time you take out VA permit practice test – so bring it to perfection.
