Start Free Nevada Permit Practice TestWhat Is the Nevada Permit Test?
The Nevada permit test is the written knowledge exam required to earn a Nevada learner's permit. Administered by the Nevada DMV, it is based on the official Nevada driver handbook.
The Nevada DMV knowledge test has 25 multiple-choice questions covering traffic laws, road signs, and safe driving from the Nevada Driver Handbook. You must answer at least 20 correctly (80%) to pass, plus a vision test.
The instruction permit must be held for at least 6 months before the driving test for a provisional license at 16.
In Nevada, new drivers typically begin with a learner's permit at 15½ years old, required (50-hour course), and log 50 hours (10 at night) of supervised driving over a 6 months permit hold before earning a provisional license. The Nevada DMV administers the knowledge test, permits, and driver's licenses statewide.
