MINNESOTA DMV PRACTICE TEST

If you aspire to become a Minnesota driver, you need to equip yourself with a state-issued  Minnesota 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 card whenever you drive a motor vehicle. 

The MN Driver’s Permit Test which is administered by the Driver and Vehicle Service (DVS) - a Division of the Minnesota Department Of Public Safety requires test takers to excel at knowledge and driving tests. It is related to the rules of the road and driving skills. Our Free Minnesota 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 Minnesota Driver's Manual. 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 Minnesota DMV test consist of?

The Minnesota DMV Test includes 2 parts: Knowledge Test aka Written Test and the Road Test:  

• Knowledge test: On the Minnesota written test,  you are required to answer 40 multiple-choice and True or False questions regarding Minnesota traffic laws and road signs. All the required materials can be found in the Minnesota Driver’s Manual. Besides, computer-based or paper-and-pencil tests are always available. You need to obtain at least 80% correct answers to succeed in the test. In other words, if no more than 8 mistakes you have made, you will deserve to be granted the Minnesota Operator’s Permit. 
• Road Test: It will evaluate your ability to drive safely under normal traffic conditions as well as your knowledge of road rules. This behind-the-wheel test includes the demonstration of your car’s safety equipment, vehicle control skills, and a driving performance test. It should be noted that your road test can be scheduled online or via the phone number (651-284-1234) at least 3-4 weeks in advance because some locations test once a week only. 

2. Can I take the Minnesota DMV test in another language?

Yes, you can take the written test in different languages including Hmong, Vietnamese, Somali, Spanish, and Russian. Furthermore, you will be provided with an interpreter upon advance request. 

3. Can I use the manual when taking the actual Minnesota DMV test?

No. Using the driver’s manual when sitting for the test is regarded as a kind of cheating and your results will be rejected. Besides, phones and other wireless devices are also prohibited. Let’s study hard to prepare well for the test. 

4. What common mistakes should you avoid in the MN 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.

You should avoid some common critical errors, otherwise, you fail the road test such as:

• You disobey a traffic law
• You drive dangerously
• You cause a traffic crash or involvement in a crash that you could have avoided
• You cannot control the vehicle
• You cannot perform a maneuver without the examiner's help
• You lack cooperation with examiner, refusal to follow instructions

 5. What happens if I fail the Minnesota DMV test?

If you fail the test twice, you will have to pay $10 for each subsequent written test and $20 for the driving test. 

6. Can you take your MN Permit test online?

You can take the driver’s exam online by visiting drive.mn.gov and clicking on "Take a Class D Knowledge Test." At the moment, the online option is only accessible for the class D written test, not for commercial or motorcycle licenses. Besides, road tests must still be taken in person.

If you pass the online exam, you should fill out the pre-application online at drive.mn.gov before getting your driver's license at the office. Unless you pass the test, follow the DPS-DVS instructions and retake it.
