Alaska · Permit test
Start with the free Alaska Driver Manual and the DMV’s own practice test. The written test covers only what’s in the manual. If you want more practice, the apps and websites below are the ones people use. We checked each one’s price and what’s free in October 2026.
The written test covers only what’s in here: traffic laws, safe driving and road signs. The current edition is dated October 2025 and runs to about 95 pages. You can’t use it during the test.
