Free Idaho DMV Drivers License Test Practice 2025

To get your Idaho DMV Supervised Instruction Permit (SIP), you must be at least 14½ years old and pass a vision screening and the written permit knowledge test. The permit test consists of 40 multiple-choice questions covering vehicle and equipment safety, traffic laws, and additional material outlined in the state’s Idaho DMV 2025 Driver’s Manual. To pass, you must score at least 85% (34 out of 40 questions). If you fail, you must wait three days and pay a retest fee to try again. Using our practice tests makes sure that doesn’t happen.

Our free online Idaho DMV Permit Practice Test is updated for February 2025 and mimics actual exam conditions. Immediate feedback is provided on any missed questions instead of at the end of the assessment.

The Supervised Instruction Permit (SIP) is the first phase of Idaho’s Graduated Driver’s License (GDL) program for drivers under 18. With a SIP, you can drive with a licensed driver (age 21+ with at least two years of licensure). After holding your SIP for six months, being at least 15 years old, and completing driver’s training with 50 supervised hours (10 at night), you can take the road skills test to apply for the Driver’s License-Under 17. This license restricts you to daylight driving and no passengers under 17 (except family) for six months. Once you turn 17 and have had no traffic violations in the last year, all restrictions are removed from your license.

If you’re 18 or older, the GDL phases do not apply. You will still need to provide documentation and pass the written knowledge test, vision screening, and road skills tests, but you can do so directly with no time or training requirements. If you elect to practice before taking the road skills test, you will need an SIP and licensed supervision as described above until full licensure is achieved.

Once you’re ready to apply for the permit, go to the DMV with proof of identity (birth certificate, passport), Social Security card, and two proofs of residence (utility bill, bank statement). If you’re under 18, you will need proof of completion of a driver training course and signed consent (in person) from a parent or legal guardian. Submit the documents, pass a vision screening, pay the fee, and pass the official written test.
