Free Connecticut DMV Permit Practice Test Three 2025

While the Hartford Buck may have your back, there is no better protection from the hazards on public roads than having excellent driving skills. If you’re starting out with a Connecticut learner’s permit, you must learn the rules of the road and safe driving practices that contribute to those skills. The learner’s permit will give you driving privileges to develop excellent driving habits, but you’ll need some help gaining access to them.

While there are several requirements for receiving a learner’s permit, one of the main ones is passing the driver’s knowledge test. Our free Connecticut DMV Permit Practice Test will strategically prepare you for the obstacles the official knowledge test may present you with. You must answer 80% of the 25 questions on the official knowledge test to earn a passing score. Some of the questions on the official knowledge test will force you to reason through complex situations and confusing wording. The practice test uses questions like the ones on the official knowledge test for you to preview and examine. It is interactive and stands out as the most effective study resource available.

Although study guides have historically been a popular choice to prepare for a test, the Permit Practice Test provides the most comprehensive preparation. The practice test is based on the most recent Connecticut DMV driver’s manual (Connecticut DMV Handbook (CT Driver's Manual) 2025) and is up to date as of February 2025. Study guides fail to fully prepare you to thoroughly prepare you for the most difficult questions on the official knowledge test because they merely help you memorize the answers. In comparison, the practice test includes 40 multiple-choice questions providing the information necessary to support correct answers. If you submit a wrong answer, the practice test provides a detailed explanation of the correct one. This supportive information helps fill your knowledge gaps and increases your confidence in passing the official knowledge test. The practice test is rapidly advancing driving test preparation and making study guides a distant memory.
