Vermont writes its own knowledge test from its own manual. Licensing runs through the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles, and the first step is a Learner’s Permit, available at age 15. Vermont’s test is one of the shortest in the country — 20 questions — and one of the most modern in delivery: the Vermont Driver’s Manual states plainly that the learner permit test is no longer taken in the DMV office; it is an online test available at mydmv.vermont.gov. Short does not mean easy: with only 20 questions, you can miss at most four.
PassProfessor’s Vermont set is 283 practice questions built only from the Vermont Driver’s Manual (VN-007) — dominated, as the manual is, by its driving-safely material, with the graduated license program, general license information, fees, and the point system covered in the manual’s own proportions.
What’s included
Vermont only, from Vermont’s handbook. A question that helps in another state can mislead in Vermont, because speed limits, following distances, blood-alcohol rules, and permit steps differ by state. This set is not a national bank with a Vermont label: all 283 questions were built from the Vermont Driver’s Manual (VN-007) only, so every number in front of you is Vermont’s number.
An explanation on every question. Every one of the 283 practice questions carries an explanation of why the correct answer is correct, so a missed question becomes a short lesson in the handbook rule behind it instead of a dead end.
Organized by the handbook’s own sections. The set follows the structure of the Vermont Driver’s Manual (VN-007) itself — see the section-by-section map below — so you can practice one part of the handbook at a time and then mix sections the way the real test does.
Free practice, with no price attached. This is a free program in PassProfessor’s Free Practice hub. There is no purchase price for this practice test, and nothing on this page should be read as implying a charge for it. 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 Vermont Driver’s Manual (VN-007), published by the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles. Your state’s handbook and agency are the authority for your test — confirm the details on the agency’s official pages before you go. Full guidance on reading your state’s rules is in our driver’s license test guide.
| Licensing agency | Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), Agency of Transportation |
| First step | Learner’s Permit |
| Knowledge test | Knowledge test — taken online (the manual states the learner permit test is no longer taken in the DMV office; it is an online test at mydmv.vermont.gov) |
| Questions | 20 questions, each with four answers to choose from |
| Passing standard | At least 16 questions correct (80%) |
| Minimum age (learner’s permit) | 15 years old |
| Fees | Knowledge test $39.00 + learner’s permit $24.00 = $63.00 total exam and permit fees (per the manual’s fee list) |
| Handbook | Vermont Driver’s Manual (VN-007) |
- Twenty questions, sixteen to pass. The manual’s “What are the Tests Like?” section states the knowledge test is online and has 20 questions, each with four answers of which only one is correct; you must answer at least 16 correctly to pass — an 80% standard with very little room for guessing.
- A fail costs you a day, not a week. If you fail the test, the manual states you must wait at least one day before taking another one. Use that day on the sections you missed — this practice set is organized by the manual’s chapters so you can go straight to them.
- The fees are printed in the manual. Vermont’s manual lists the exam and learner’s permit fee as $63.00 in total — a $39.00 knowledge test fee plus a $24.00 learner’s permit fee — and reminds readers that fees are subject to change and to verify them at dmv.vermont.gov.
- Vision is part of the gate. Alongside the knowledge test, the manual describes a vision test using a screening device; results that do not meet the required 20/40 standard are referred to an eye doctor. The permit itself is issued after you pass the online permit test and pay the required fees.
How the practice maps to the real test

|---|---|
| Chapter 7 — Driving Safely and Studying for Your Permit | 169 |

How to use it
- Join the notify list today. When the program opens, start with the Vermont set — not a neighboring state’s, and not a generic national set. Vermont writes its own test, and state selection is the whole point of this program.
- Get Vermont’s current handbook first. Download or pick up the current edition of the Vermont Driver’s Manual (VN-007) from the Vermont DMV. It is the document Vermont’s test is built from.
- Practice topic by topic. Work through the handbook’s sections in order — signs and signals, rules of the road, safe driving, and the rest. When a practice question surprises you, find that rule in your handbook and read the surrounding section.
- Then practice mixed. Once the topics feel familiar on their own, take mixed sets that pull from across the handbook, the way the real knowledge test does. A rule you only recognize inside its own chapter is not yet learned.
- Confirm your test-day facts from Vermont, not from practice sites. Before you go, check the Vermont DMV’s official pages for the current test format, minimum age, required documents, and fees. Those facts change, and Vermont’s agency is the only authority for them.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions are on the Vermont knowledge test, and what passes?
20 questions. Each question has four answers to choose from, of which only one is correct, and you must answer at least 16 correctly to pass — 80%. That means missing five questions fails the test.
Is the Vermont permit test really online?
Yes. The Vermont Driver’s Manual states that the learner permit test is no longer taken in the DMV office — it is an online test available on the DMV’s website, mydmv.vermont.gov. Your permit is issued after you pass the online permit test and pay the required fees.
How old do I have to be for a Vermont learner’s permit?
At least 15 years old to take the test, per the manual. A Vermont resident must hold a Vermont Learner’s Permit to learn to drive in Vermont.
How much does it cost?
The manual’s fee list gives the exam and learner’s permit fee as $63.00 total: $39.00 for the knowledge test plus $24.00 for the learner’s permit. The manual notes fees are subject to change — verify the current figures at dmv.vermont.gov.
What happens if I fail?
You must wait at least one day before taking another test, per the manual.
What else is tested besides knowledge?
Vision. The manual describes a vision test using a vision-screening device, with the required standard of 20/40; applicants whose screening does not meet the standard are referred to an eye doctor.
What does the knowledge test cover?
The Vermont Driver’s Manual: driving safely, general license information, the Graduated Driver’s License Program, proof of identity, fees and renewals, the point system, and how a license can be lost. This practice set follows those same chapters — including the manual’s own “Driving Safely and Studying for Your Permit” chapter, which is the largest part of both the manual and this set.
Are these the actual test questions from Vermont?
No. Every PassProfessor practice question is original, written from Vermont’s published driver handbook. States do not publish their live test questions, and we never use actual test items or another provider’s bank. The handbook is public; the test built from it is not — practice works because it teaches the handbook, not because it copies the test.
Is this practice really free?
Yes. The Vermont Driver’s License Practice Test is a free program in PassProfessor’s Free Practice hub. There is no price for the practice test itself. The notify form on this page only signs you up to be emailed when the program opens; it is not a purchase.
When will this program be available?
The bank is complete, and the program opens as the catalog expands. Join the notify list on this page and we will email you when it opens. It will be free when it opens.
What should I study besides practice questions?
The Vermont Driver’s Manual (VN-007), cover to cover. Vermont’s agency builds its knowledge test from that handbook. Use practice to find the sections you have not actually learned, then go back to those sections in the handbook.
