Vermont Learner's Permit Knowledge Test

This Roadwise course uses a 20-question practice test with 16 correct answers needed to pass. The format can depend on your age, license class, or application type.

Taken online at mydmv.vermont.gov, not in a DMV office (handbook p.3). No separate signs-only section is described, so the practice test uses one combined score.
