The written knowledge test has 25 multiple-choice questions and you need 20 correct (80%). You can take it online 24/7 through KnowTo Drive Nevada (English or Spanish, computer with a front camera, 60-minute limit) or in person at a DMV office by appointment (English, Spanish or audio, no time limit); if you fail you can retake it the next day, with a $25 initial testing fee and $10 for each retest.

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

Nevada traffic laws you will be tested on

Topic	Nevada rule	Source
Handheld phone use	All drivers are banned from texting, browsing or talking on a handheld phone; calls must be hands-free. Civil penalties are $50 for a first violation, $100 for a second and $250 for a third or later within 7 years.	leg.state.nv.us
Seat belts	The driver and every passenger age 6 or older (or 57 inches or taller) must wear a seat belt. It is a secondary law: you can only be cited if stopped for another violation, with a penalty of up to $25 or community service.	leg.state.nv.us
Child car seats	Children under 6 who are also under 57 inches tall must ride in an approved child restraint, and children under 2 must ride rear-facing in the back seat. A first offense carries a fine of $100 to $500 or 10 to 50 hours of community service.	leg.state.nv.us
Under-21 alcohol limit	The adult limit is 0.08% BAC. If you are under 21 and test at 0.02% or more (but under 0.08%), your license is revoked for 185 days.	dmv.nv.gov
Implied consent	If an officer suspects DUI and you refuse a blood, breath or urine test, your license is revoked and you cannot get one for 1 year (3 years if you had a refusal revocation in the past 7 years).	dmv.nv.gov
Move over for stopped vehicles	When approaching a stopped emergency, utility or service vehicle (such as a police car, tow truck, NDOT vehicle or garbage truck), slow to less than the posted limit, be ready to stop and, if possible, drive in a lane not next to the stopped vehicle.	dmv.nv.gov
Speed limits and school zones	School zones are 15 or 25 mph on school days from a half hour before school starts to a half hour after it ends, unless posted otherwise; business and residential areas are typically 25 mph, and rural highways 65 mph. U-turns in an active school zone are illegal.	dmv.nv.gov
Headlights	Headlights are required from a half hour after sunset to a half hour before sunrise, and whenever you cannot clearly see people or vehicles 1,000 feet away. Dim your high beams within 500 feet of oncoming cars and 300 feet of a car you are following.	dmv.nv.gov

Frequently asked questions

Can I take the Nevada permit test at home?

Yes. The DMV's recommended option is the online test through KnowTo Drive Nevada, available 24/7 with no appointment. You need a computer with a front-facing camera (touch-screen devices are not supported), and you get 60 minutes. Results go to the DMV automatically and are valid for 1 year.

Is the handbook and test available in Spanish?

Yes. The DMV publishes a Spanish version of the driver handbook, and the knowledge test is offered in Spanish both online and in person. If you do not read English or Spanish well, you may use an approved interpreter, but a family member cannot interpret for you.

What is the DMV 301 form and do I need it?

It is the Certification of Attendance form. Everyone under 18 applying for a permit or license must show it to prove they meet Nevada's school attendance rules. Your principal or school official signs it (a parent signs if you are home-schooled), and it must be dated within 60 days.

What if there is no driver education school near me?

You can take an approved online course. Only if no classroom course is within 30 miles of your home and you have no internet access can you skip driver education, and then you must log 100 hours of supervised driving, including 10 at night, instead of 50.

Are these the real DMV test questions?

No. The Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles does not publish its exam. Our Nevada 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.
