How to Find a Practice Test for Drivers Getting Ready to Take Their Learner's

Adequate preparation is essential to passing the learner's permit test.

Obtaining a learner's permit is a major stepping stone towards obtaining a driver's license. You must pass a test in order to obtain a learner's permit. A learner's permit authorizes an individual to learn to drive. Though the rules vary from state to state, most states require holders of learner's permits to have a fully licensed driver in the vehicle at all times during the learning process. The minimum age for taking the learner's permit test ranges from 15 to 17, depending on the state.

Instructions

1. Contact the local DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles). As the administer of the test for the learner's permit, the local DMV should be your first point of contact. You can find the phone number to the local DMV in the blue pages of your phone book or by performing an Internet search for "department of motor vehicles" along with the name of your state. Most DMV offices have practice tests and study guides available for the learner's permit examination.

2. Visit the Web site of the local DMV. Many DMV Web sites have learner's permit practice tests and study guides available online.

3. Contact the driver's education department of a high school. Many driver's education departments have study guides, practice learner's permit tests or old learner's permit tests that can be used to prepare for the exam.

4. Enroll in a driving school. Driving schools usually have a close relationship with the DMV. In addition to teaching you how to drive, many driving schools have teachers who will prepare and accompany you to the DMV to take the learner's permit test.
