Pennsylvania DMV Exam Simulator
This is not a generic quiz: each run is built to Pennsylvania’s real, published test format and graded by the number of correct answers the state actually requires — no feedback until the end, just like the testing center. You can move back and forth and change answers before you finish.
Learner's Permit (Car) — 18 questions, 15 correct to pass (83%)
The Pennsylvania knowledge test has 18 questions and 15 correct (83%) passes - one of the shortest and strictest tests in the country. You may attempt it once per day; a retake is available the next business day.
Motorcycle Permit — 20 questions, 16 correct to pass (80%)
The Pennsylvania motorcycle knowledge test has 20 questions; 16 correct (80%) passes. A motorcycle learner permit is valid for 1 year and allows riding in daylight hours only, with no passengers (except a licensed instructor).
Set up your run
Unanswered questions count as wrong. The on-screen clock is a pacing aid for practice; the question count and passing standard are the real Pennsylvania figures listed above.
