The Class C knowledge test has 35 multiple-choice questions and you must answer 28 correctly. Take it online any time at DMV2U (desktop or laptop with a webcam; a proctor over 21 must supervise if you are under 18) or at a DMV office; it is offered in several languages with or without audio and costs $7 per attempt. If you fail at an office you may retest the same day if resources allow; online you get two tries in 24 hours and four tries total before you must test at an office.

Tip: Start with module 1, “Oregon laws & permit rules”. These 12 questions cover rules that are specific to Oregon, the part of the test that general study guides usually miss.

Oregon traffic laws you will be tested on

Topic	Oregon rule	Source
Cell phones and mobile devices	Drivers under 18 may not use a cell phone or other mobile electronic device while driving. Drivers 18 and older must use a hands-free accessory that needs only a minimal touch of a finger.	oregon.gov

Approaching stopped vehicles (move over)	On a road with two or more lanes in your direction, change lanes so you are not next to any stopped vehicle with flashing lights; you may also slow to at least 5 mph under the posted limit. Give it as much room as safely possible.	oregon.gov

Headlights	Headlights must be on from sunset to sunrise and whenever you cannot see people or vehicles 1,000 feet ahead. Dim high beams within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle and within 350 feet when following.	oregon.gov
Work zones	Traffic fines are doubled in all work zones, and the temporary posted speed applies at all times, even when no workers are visible.	oregon.gov

Oregon learner permit and teen license rules

Instruction permit at 15: drive only with a licensed driver at least 21 sitting beside you; practice hours count only if that driver has been licensed at least 3 years.
If you are under 18 you must hold the permit at least 6 months before getting a provisional license.
Log 100 hours of supervised driving, or 50 hours if you complete an ODOT-approved driver education course.
Until 18, you may not use a cell phone or any mobile device while driving, not even hands-free.
First 6 months of the provisional license: no passengers under 20 who are not immediate family, and no driving from midnight to 5 a.m. unless going between home and work or a school event with no other transportation, driving for work, or with a licensed driver 25 or older.
Second 6 months: no more than three passengers under 20 who are not immediate family; the midnight to 5 a.m. rule still applies.
Passenger and night restrictions end when you turn 18 or after 1 year on the provisional license, whichever comes first.

Pass the vision test (free), pay the permit issuance fee and have your photo taken.
Practice with a licensed driver 21+ for at least 6 months and 100 hours (50 with driver education), then schedule your drive test.

Take the timed Oregon exam simulation and review every mistake before your appointment.

Frequently asked questions

Can I take the Oregon permit test at home?

Yes. DMV2U offers the knowledge test online on a desktop or laptop with a keyboard, mouse and webcam. If you are under 18, a proctor over 21 must supervise. You may test online twice in 24 hours and four times total.

What does an ODOT-approved driver education course do for me?

It cuts the required supervised driving from 100 hours to 50, and DMV may waive the drive test if it receives proof you completed the course within the past two years.

Can I use a hands-free phone while I have a permit or provisional license?

No. Until you are 18, you cannot use a mobile device while driving at all, including talking and texting, and hands-free accessories are not allowed.

How long is an Oregon instruction permit valid?

It is valid for 2 years from the date it is issued. If it expired less than 1 year ago, you can renew without retaking the knowledge and vision tests.

Are these the real DMV test questions?

No. The Oregon Department of Transportation, Driver and Motor Vehicle Services does not publish its exam. Our Oregon module is written from the official handbook and state law, and the core modules cover the rules of the road taught in every state handbook.

Is this practice test free?

Yes. Every lesson, practice round and exam simulation is free, with no sign-up.
