MAINE DMV PRACTICE TEST 

 

If you want to become a Maine driver, you need to equip yourself with a state-issued  ME driver’s license which is granted to those who pass the required tests and prove your lawful presence in the USA. The driving card will display your full name, date of birth, mailing address, signature, photo, and physical description. Keep in mind that you must have a license whenever you drive a motor vehicle. 

The ME Driver’s Permit Test which is administered by The Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) requires test takers to excel at knowledge and driving tests. It is related to the rules of the road and driving skills. Our Free Maine DMV Practice Test 2022 is available to access free which provides you with a number of practice tests simulated as the real exams and compiled based on The 2022 Maine Driver's Handbook. Besides, the exam is administered by automated testing equipment which possesses touch screens and audio assistance. Let’s take as much practice as possible to obtain more essential knowledge and familiarize yourself with the test format. 

 

1. What does the test include?

In Maine, you are required to complete 2 sub-sections of this test, which are known as the Knowledge Test and the Road Test: 

• Knowledge test: The Maine test contains 30 multiple-choice questions which measure your understanding and knowledge of traffic laws, regulations, driving skills, and vehicle handling as well as highway signs. The test is designed based on all of the official information in The Maine Driver's Handbook. Keep in mind that you should pay more attention to Maine's drinking and driving laws. You need to obtain at least 80% correct answers or above to ace the test. In other words, if you are able to correctly answer 24 of the 30 questions, you are qualified to be granted the Maine DMV permit. 
• Road Test: The test will evaluate your knowledge of a motor vehicle’s basic equipment and measure your ability to operate a vehicle safely under normal traffic conditions. Your ME driving test will be scheduled at the location nearest to your home, therefore, whenever you get ready for the skill test, mail the road test request card received with the learner’s permit to The Bureau Of Motor Vehicles (BMV). 

 

2. What common mistakes should you avoid in the ME DMV test?

In the written test, one of the most common mistakes is due to not knowing enough information in the manual because people study solely with practice tests. Hence, make sure you read the manual carefully first. Another mistake could be rushing through questions without reviewing or double-checking. Thus, let’s take your time and remember what you have studied and read.

In the road test, you should avoid some prevalent errors such as lack of control, incorrect positioning, moving away in an unsafe manner, and inadequate reaction to traffic signals. 

 

 3. Can you request an oral ME driver’s license test? 

If you are unable to read in English, you can require an oral examination while filling out the application form. Unless you bring your own reader or translator, Literacy or American Sign Language interpreters will be provided by the Bureau of Motor Vehicles upon advance request.

 

 4. How do you schedule or reschedule the appointment for the Maine DMV test?
