Illinois driving test questions to practice

Fifteen right out of 20 is the score to aim for here. The Illinois driving test questions on this page are ours, written from the Rules of the Road 2026, and five of them ask about signs and road markings. The Rules of the Road gives no pass mark, so that target is our own.

Question 1 of 20

You’re 15 with an instruction permit, practicing outside driver education. Who may sit beside you?

20 practice questions we wrote from the Illinois Rules of the Road.

Does the Secretary of State (SOS) have practice questions of its own?

Yes, in the handbook. Chapters 3 to 12 of the Rules of the Road end with study questions, and the answers are at the back. The handbook page explains how they work.

How close are these Illinois driving test questions to the real exam?

The wording on the day will be different, because these questions are ours. Each one tests a rule the handbook teaches, and we chose rules the chapter study questions don’t ask about, so the two sets don’t overlap. The real exam also has true-or-false questions, which you won’t find here.
