CT DMV permit practice test

This CT DMV permit practice test has 20 free questions written from the Connecticut Driver’s Manual, with three choices each, like the DMV’s own practice tests. Five show a sign or signal. The real test has 25 questions and you need 20, which is 80%, so 16 right is a pass here. Pick an answer to see why it’s right, and anything you miss comes back at the end.

Question 1 of 20

What is the youngest age you can get a Connecticut learner’s permit?

20 practice questions in the style of the knowledge test.

How close is this CT DMV permit practice test to the real one?

The pass mark matches: 80%. The real knowledge test has 25 questions, all from the manual, and you need 20 right. Ours is shorter, and these aren’t the DMV’s questions, so treat a pass here as a sign you’re on track, not a promise.

Next, work through the DMV’s three practice tests and the study questions at the end of Chapters 2 to 5 of the manual. The where-to-learn page shows how to use them.

Practicing for a motorcycle or CDL permit instead?

These questions are for the car knowledge test. The motorcycle and CDL permit tests come from their own DMV manuals, and each has its own page.
