Oregon DMV Permit Practice Test
View instructions
All residents who operate a motor vehicle on any Oregon street or highway must have an Oregon driver's license or learner's permit. DMV will test your eyesight to confirm you can see well enough to drive safely. The questions in this practice test mirror the 35 questions on the official Oregon DMV written exam, drawn from the 2026 Oregon Driver's Manual, and cover Oregon road rules, traffic laws, road signs, and safe driving practices. You'll need at least 28 correct answers (80%) to pass. If you fail your OR DMV knowledge test, you must wait at least one day before trying again. Practice with this sample DMV test and study the manual to get ready for the official Oregon DMV driver's license test.
