Free DMV Written Test Simulator for Wisconsin | Updated for 2025

Welcome to our second Wisconsin Permit Practice Test! Maybe you already read the official Wisconsin driver’s manual (Wisconsin DMV Handbook (WI Driver's Manual) 2025). But you still think you could use additional help to pass the Wisconsin DMV written knowledge test and highway signs test. You’ve certainly come to the right place! We’ve helped hundreds of thousands of aspiring car and truck drivers across the country pass their official written exams on their first try, and now we can help you too.

We designed all five of our Wisconsin permit practice tests to help aspiring drivers like you pass the Wisconsin DMV written tests. Like the official DMV tests, these practice tests are based on the official Wisconsin driver’s manual, are up to date as of March 2025, and have a passing score of 80%. This second Permit Practice Test has 40 multiple-choice questions. You must choose the best or most complete answer for each question. This practice test includes questions on changing lanes, colored curbs, following distance, pavement markings, the right-of-way, road signs, slippery roads, traffic signals, and turns.

The Progress Bar will track your score as you proceed through the test. When you get a question right, the question number will turn green. If you miss a question, the question number will turn red. Feel free to ask our AI Assistant for help at any time. If you get stuck on a question, ask the AI Assistant to elaborate or give you a hint. You can also ask it your own questions about driving. If you still miss the question, the AI Assistant will provide you with the correct answer and an explanation. Not satisfied with your final score? You may retake this practice test as often as you wish until you’ve mastered the material. Each time, the order of the questions will be randomized.

We also have two PDF “cheat sheets” (not for actual cheating, though!) for you: “The Top 100 Most Common US DMV Questions” and “The 121 Most Common US Road Signs Questions.” You will probably encounter some of these questions on your official knowledge and traffic signs tests, respectively. Each “cheat sheet” includes the correct answer for each question listed.

Concerned that something else might still go wrong on the day of your knowledge and traffic signs tests? We also offer our own Wisconsin Permit Test Study Guide, covering important things you should do as your test day approaches. It covers what documents to take, what fees you may have to pay, how to stay relaxed yet alert on the tests, and other valuable last-minute tips.
