About the Nevada DMV written test

The Nevada knowledge test (often searched as the Nevada permit test) checks that new drivers understand road signs, traffic laws and safe driving habits before getting a learner's permit. The questions come from the official Nevada driver handbook published by the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles.

Nevada applicants take a 25-question multiple-choice written test based on the official Nevada Driver Handbook, and 80% (20 correct) is passing. The instruction permit is available from age 15½.
