How it works

Three lights, one road.

  1. Take a practice test

    Questions are drawn the way the real exam draws them — a spread across every topic, not a themed quiz.

  2. See exactly what is missing

    Every wrong answer gets a plain explanation and the page in the official guide it came from. No jargon on top of DMV language.

  3. Practice till it is green

    Your readiness turns green once your recent tests hold above the pass line. Not before — the light has to mean something.

The syllabus

What is on the Washington test

180+ topics, drawn from the official Washington State DOL Driver Guide. The real exam samples across all of them, which is why practicing one theme at a time is not enough.

  • Signs, signals and markings

    Warning, regulatory and guide signs. Signal phases. Lane markings.

  • Right of way

    Intersections, roundabouts, merging, and who goes first.

  • Passing and lane use

    When passing is legal, when it is not, and how to do it safely.

  • Parking and stopping

    Where you may stop, curb rules, and stopping distances.

  • Sharing the road

    Railroad crossings, school buses, motorcycles, work zones and the move-over law.

  • Alcohol, drugs and penalties

    Limits, the open-container law, marijuana, and what a DUI costs.

  • Occupant protection

    Seat belts, child restraints, head restraints and airbags.

  • Difficult conditions

    Skids, hydroplaning, ice, fog, night driving and visibility.

  • Permits and paperwork

    Learner permit rules, the intermediate license, insurance and the road test.

Progress

Watch the light change.

One test tells you a score. A run of them tells you whether you are ready. Every attempt feeds the same picture: what you know, what you keep missing, and how far the pass line still is.

78% — almost green
  • A readiness signal, not a score

    Your last few tests decide the light. Green means your recent form clears the pass line — it is a verdict, not decoration.

  • Weak spots, named

    The topics you miss most, ranked. You always know what to work on next.

  • Your trend over time

    Each attempt against your own average, so a bad run reads as a dip rather than a verdict.

  • Every attempt kept

    Full history, so progress is something you can see rather than feel.

The full test, a verdict on every attempt, and progress that tells you whether you are actually ready.

In development

Next: a coach that knows what you keep missing.

Practice tells you what you got wrong. The coach will tell you why — in your language, in short drills built from your own missed questions. It is being built now; it is not in the product yet.

We would rather say this plainly than ship a countdown.

Questions

Straight answers.

Is this the real Washington permit test?
No. These are practice questions written from the official Washington State DOL Driver Guide. The real knowledge test is taken at a licensing office or an approved provider.
How many questions do I need to get right?
The Washington knowledge test is 40 questions and you need 32 correct — that is 80%.
Do I need an account?
Not to start — the test on this page begins straight away. You will need one to finish a full 40-question attempt, because from that point your results are saved and tracked over time.
Which languages does it work in?
English and Russian — the site and the questions both. Each bank is written from the official Washington State DOL guide as published in that language, so nothing is a translation of a translation. More languages are on the way.
Where do the questions come from?
The 2021 Washington State DOL Driver Guide. 389 of the 400 questions cite the exact page their answer comes from, so you can always check us.
Does the practice test cost anything?
No. The practice test on this page is free and needs no card.
