VIRGINIA PRACTICE PERMIT TEST
View instructions
You need a Virginia driver's license or learner's permit if you want to drive on Virginia streets and highways. Tests will include a vision screening and may include a two-part knowledge exam and a road skills test. The two-part DMV VA written exam tests your knowledge of road signs, traffic laws, and safe driving practices. The VA DMV test questions are taken from information in the Virginia Driver's Manual. You must correctly answer all 10 traffic sign questions in part one of the Virginia DMV test before you can take part two. Part two tests your general knowledge with multiple choice questions. You must answer at least 80% of these questions correctly to pass part two.
