Indiana writes its own knowledge test from its own handbook, the Indiana Driver’s Manual, administered under Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV). The numbers that decide your test day — how the test is scored, how old you must be, and what the permit costs — are Indiana’s numbers, not national ones. This page’s practice set is Indiana-only: 288 original questions built from the Indiana Driver’s Manual, organized by the handbook’s own sections, with an explanation on every question, so you can learn Indiana’s rules the way Indiana will test them.
What’s included
Indiana only, from Indiana’s handbook. This set was built only from the Indiana Driver’s Manual — not from a national bank and not from another state’s rules. Speed limits, distances, penalties, and permit steps differ by state, so every question here is tied to what Indiana publishes.
288 practice questions, with an explanation on every question. The full Indiana set is 288 questions, and each one carries an explanation, so a wrong answer tells you what the handbook actually says and where to re-read it.
Organized by the handbook’s own sections. The set follows the structure of the Indiana Driver’s Manual (see the map below), so you can study section by section and then mix sections the way the real test does.
Free, with no price attached. This is a free program in PassProfessor’s Free Practice hub. There is no purchase price for this practice test. Joining the notify list is only about being told when the program opens.
The real test at a glance
Current as of October 2026, from the official Indiana sources named in this package’s internal record. Your state’s handbook and agency are the authority — if anything here differs from them, they are correct.
| Licensing agency | Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) |
| First step | Learner’s Permit |
| Test | Knowledge exam — two components: road signs and traffic rules/laws |
| Passing standard | 80% or higher correct on each component to pass |
| Fee | Learner’s permit $9.00 (BMV fee chart) |
| Minimum age | 15 with proof of enrollment in a BMV-licensed behind-the-wheel training program; 16 or older without it |
| Handbook | Indiana Driver’s Manual |
- Indiana scores the two parts separately. The manual’s sample-exam chapter is explicit: on the actual knowledge examination, you must have 80% or higher correct on each component — signs and traffic rules — to pass. A strong score on one part does not rescue a weak score on the other.
- Age 15 comes with a condition. Applicants under 16 must show proof of enrollment in a BMV-licensed behind-the-wheel training provider (a Certificate of Driver Education Enrollment dated no earlier than three weeks before the class starts). At 16 or older, that enrollment proof is not required.
- The permit is held for 180 days. To move to a probationary driver’s license, you must have held an Indiana learner’s permit for 180 days, per the BMV.

How to use it
- Join the notify list today. Join the notify list above so you hear the moment the Indiana program opens, and start with the Indiana set when it does.
- Get the Indiana Driver’s Manual first. Download or pick up the current edition from the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) — every practice question is written from it, so the manual is the source of truth.
- Practice topic by topic. Work through one handbook section at a time using the map above, and read the explanation on every question — especially the ones you get wrong.
- Then practice mixed. Once you have covered each section, mix sections the way the real test does, since the knowledge exam draws on both road signs and traffic rules and laws.
- Confirm your test-day facts from the state, not from practice sites. Fees, ages, and testing rules can change — check Indiana’s official pages and the current Indiana Driver’s Manual before your test day.
