North Dakota
Driving Practice Test

North Dakota allows young drivers to start a bit earlier than most states, as you can earn a permit at only 14 years of age after passing a driver’s education course and the ND driver’s permit test. After a year with your permit you can then apply for a license and you will receive it once you’ve passed the North Dakota DOT (often searched for as the “North Dakota DMV”) knowledge test and the road test. To do so, you must get 20 correct answers on the multiple-choice test which consists of 25 questions. This site contains a number of North Dakota practice driving tests as well as CDL and motorcycle tests to help you learn the necessary safe driving practices to earn your license. The practice test below offers a huge bank of test questions to help you identify the same material the North Dakota written test covers such as rules of the road and recognition of road signs. There is no time limit. You may not go back once you answer a question. Click the "Start Test" button below to begin. Good luck!
