Finding a Free Practice Driving Test Online

October 28, 2009

Most downloadable driving test software is costly, or at least not free. Thankfully, finding a free practice driving test online is easy.

Online Test

A practice driving test online gives you the advantage of becoming familiar with the content and format of the actual test, improving your chances of passing. Only the practice test can be taken online, as state driving tests are administered in approved testing facilities, monitored by department or division of motor vehicle employees.

State Specific Tests
Find a test that is specific to the road rules of your home state. The advantage of a state specific driving test is that you will reinforce learning on material that will appear on your test. These tests are offered through the websites maintained by a state department or division of motor vehicles and may also be made available through a private third-party vendor. You can look online to find a list of providers of these tests.

There are several websites that offer free practice tests to work on. Alternatively you can purchase practice driving tests online. A few good websites to look up include: dmv.org, DrivingDirectory.com, TestQuestionsAndAnswers.com and DriversEd.com.

You can also visit your state DMV website to look for practice test questions.

MyPracticePermitTest.com is another website that offers free sample tests and additional tests for sale.

State Recommended Testing Sites
Your state may recommend testing services or websites that offer test specific content for you to study. Although the actual current exam questions will not be available, you will be exposed to material that is in line with the test that you will eventually take. This is preferable to working with material that is not relevant to your state's road rules and laws, and may not provide you with an adequate simulation to properly prepare for the test.

Cost
You save money when you take a driving test online. These tests generally cost between $20 and $50, which is much cheaper than traditional offline tests. There are other ways in which you save money. You don't have to commute and you don't have to give up your other obligations. Such advantages make online driving tests something that you can consider.

Since the law governing driver's license and traffic school eligibility varies in each state, it's important to visit your state DMV website to find out the correct process in obtaining a drivers license. Several states also provide free access to driver manuals and practice tests.
