Free DMV Written Test Simulator for Connecticut | Updated for 2025
In Connecticut, regardless of your age, you must obtain a learner’s permit to practice supervised driving before you may take the road test for a driver’s license. To obtain a permit, you must be at least 16 years old, meet all the documentation requirements, pass a vision test, and pass the official written knowledge test on driving theory.
The Connecticut DMV written test has 25 multiple-choice questions based on the official Connecticut driver’s manual (Connecticut DMV Handbook (CT Driver's Manual) 2025). The test is offered in eleven languages, and you can specially request a hard copy of the test in one of 24 other languages. The passing score is 80%. You can take the vision and written tests only by appointment at certain DMV offices, not online. However, you must make the appointment online. If you’re under 18, your parent or guardian must come with you to the knowledge test or fill out a form to give their consent.
You must bring appropriate identification and pay a license examination fee to be allowed to take these tests. If you fail the vision test, you can make another appointment for it immediately. However, if you fail the knowledge test, you’ll have to wait seven days and pay another exam fee before you may retake it.
This is the second of our five Connecticut Permit Practice Tests. We designed all our permit practice tests to help aspiring drivers like you pass the DMV knowledge test on their first try. These practice tests are also multiple choice and based on the official Connecticut driver’s manual. Each practice test is up to date as of March 2025. Feel free to call on our AI Assistant for help with any practice question. If you get stuck on a question, you can ask the AI Assistant to discuss the question further, give you a hint, or answer your own questions about driving. If you still miss the question, you’ll be shown the correct answer and an explanation.
In addition to these practice tests, we have two PDF “cheat sheets” (i.e., quick references, not for actual cheating!) that you can download: “The Top 100 Most Common US DMV Questions” and “The 121 Most Common US Road Signs Questions.” Some of these questions are likely to be on your knowledge test. The correct answer is provided for each question listed.
Finally, we also offer our own Connecticut Permit Test Study Guide to help you get ready for the day of your Connecticut knowledge test. It covers what documents to take to the DMV, what fees you may have to pay, frequently missed knowledge test questions, and other last-minute tips.
