Massachusetts · Permit testQuestion 1 of 20
You pass the vision test wearing glasses. What does your license carry?
20 practice questions in the style of the permit test.
How close is this permit practice test in MA to the real exam?
The bar is close: 72% on the real exam, 75% here. The real exam is longer and timed, with 25 minutes and no pausing, and these questions are ours, written from the manual, not the RMV’s.
They run from license restrictions in chapter 1 and the penalty charts in chapter 3 to rotaries, school buses and parking in chapter 4.
Then take the RMV’s practice exam
The RMV has its own practice exam, linked from its First Time Driver guide and run through myRMV. Take it after these 20, then look up anything you miss in the manual. The where-to-learn page has a study plan and more on apps and driving schools.
