Virginia DMV Two-Part Knowledge Test

When you apply for a Virginia learner permit or driver’s license, the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) will give you two computerized tests.

    A road sign identification test
    A general knowledge test

You must correctly identify ten road signs from the Virginia Driver’s Manual. There is no room for mistakes on this part of the test. You must pass this test before moving on to the second part of the exam.

Virginia Road Sign Practice

This Virginia road sign practice test addresses all of the essential signs described in the manual and that you are expected to know, including the use of shapes, colors, and symbols.

The test has ten random questions drawn from a pool of more than 100 questions. You can take the test several times to ensure you have a solid knowledge of all signs that can appear on your test.

It is a good idea to learn “the name” of the sign and how safe driving practices apply when you encounter some warning signs.

Virginia Road Safety

For your safety on Virginia roads, you should learn all common road signs that you may encounter on our highways, but for your test, you must focus on the ones described in the manual.

Get the latest version of the Driver’s Manual from a Virginia DMV service center, your driver education course, or download a PDF-version online . The manual is usually updated once or twice yearly, so ensure you have the latest version when you start studying.
