This Virginia Driver's License Testing practice set has 33 practice questions based on the official exam materials, each with an instant explanation. You need 80% on the real Virginia Driver's License knowledge test to pass.

Topic overview

Virginia may test you with a vision screening, a two-part knowledge exam, and a road skills test — a DMV representative will tell you which of these you actually need based on the license you already hold.

The knowledge exam has two parts: Part 1 covers traffic signs, and you must answer all of the sign questions correctly before you can move on to Part 2, which covers general driving knowledge and requires at least 80% correct to pass.

The vision screening isn't a medical exam — it simply checks whether your vision meets Virginia's standards for safe driving. If you need corrective lenses to pass, your license will carry a restriction requiring you to wear them whenever you drive.

What happens if I miss one of the sign questions in Part 1?

You cannot move on to Part 2 until you answer every Part 1 sign question correctly.

What score do I need to pass Part 2 of the knowledge exam?

At least 80% of the general-knowledge questions correct.

Is the vision screening a medical exam?

No — it simply checks whether your vision meets Virginia's driving standards, not a full eye exam.
