About the Illinois DMV Permit Test

To get your learner’s permit or driver’s license in Illinois, you must pass a written knowledge exam based on the Illinois Rules of the Road handbook. The test covers Illinois traffic laws, right-of-way rules, safe driving, work zones, and Illinois-specific laws such as school zones, the Move Over Law, and rules for pedestrians and cyclists.

Our Illinois practice tests show one question at a time with instant answers and short explanations so you learn faster and remember more.

Each full test includes 50 multiple-choice questions. You also have a 25-question Quick Test and four Mini Tests for short daily practice. Aim for 90% or higher scores on these practice tests before taking the real Illinois written permit exam.
