Free Illinois DMV Permit Practice Test Three 2025

Are you ready to get serious about learning the road rules and safe driving practices that make you an expert driver? That’s what it will take to get you started on obtaining a Illinois learner’s permit. Sure, there are several other requirements you’ll need to meet. However, a major obstacle in your way is passing an official driver’s knowledge test. If you’re going to drive through the Land of Lincoln, you’d better be honest with yourself and know you’ll need to fill your knowledge gaps with reliable information. Any inability to read road signs, determine rights-of-way, or understand basic safe driving practices could put the brakes on your efforts.

While you may find a plethora of on-line resources offering to give you adequate preparation, you should select the one offering the most comprehensive instruction. This free Illinois DMV Permit Practice Test is waiting for you to open the door to a new, more effective way of studying. You’ll need to be ready to answer 80% of the 35 questions correctly to receive a passing score on the official knowledge test. The practice test includes 40 multiple-choice questions to assess your understanding of traffic rules and safe driving techniques. You will learn by attempting to answer questions just like the ones you’ll see on the official test. It is the most effective and time-efficient way to learn.

The Permit Practice Test will assess your present readiness for the official knowledge test and systemically advance you toward better driving skills. It is based on the most recent Illinois DMV driver’s manual (Illinois DMV Handbook (IL Driver's Manual) 2025) and up to date as of February 2025. If you get a question wrong, you will receive a detailed explanation of the correct answer, which will better prepare you to answer the most difficult questions. A study guide will not offer this type of information. It will only take you as far as memorizing an answer. The logic supporting the answer is what will make you a better driver.

Deep-dish is the Chicago style of pizza, and you can take a deep dive into practice tests for other U.S. states and Washington D.C. at https://driving-tests.org/academy/drivers-license.
