- The minimum required speed at all times

Frequently asked questions
Is this Washington DMV practice test free?
Yes. The 3-question demo on this page and your first full mock exam are completely free — no card, no sign-up. For unlimited practice and AI tutoring, the State Pass is one $24.99 payment for 6 months of access to Washington, or the All States Pass is $39.99 for 6 months of access to every state.
Is the Washington permit test the same as the driving test?
No. The permit test — also called the driver's license written test or learner's permit test — is the written knowledge exam you take on a computer, and that's what this practice covers. The driving test (road test) is the separate behind-the-wheel exam you take later with an examiner. You must pass the written test first.
Are the questions the same as the real Washington DMV test?
No — and any site claiming to give you the "real" questions is misleading you. Our questions are written to match the Washington Driver Guide (2026) in style, difficulty, and topic distribution, so studying with us prepares you for the actual exam without violating DMV testing rules.
How many questions are on the real Washington permit test?
40 multiple-choice questions. You need 80% (32/40 correct) to pass.
What if I fail the Washington DMV test?
Retakes allowed; a fee applies for each additional attempt. We strongly recommend taking 2–3 full mock exams (and reading the AI explanation for every wrong answer) before retesting.
Is the practice test available in Spanish?
Yes. Toggle the language switch in the top-right of any page — every question, explanation, and the AI tutor work in both English and Spanish.
