If you’re preparing for the Florida DMV written test, you’re in the right place. I recently took the official written DMV test here in Florida in April 2025 and scored 40 out of 41 questions right. Yep, it was intense—but totally doable!
While prepping for the Florida DMV written exam, I came across a bunch of practice questions online, and to my surprise, many of them were nearly identical to what I saw on the actual test. That’s why I decided to put together this post—to help you pass on your first try by sharing real, relevant questions and answers that you’re likely to see. 😊
So below, you’ll find practice questions inspired by my personal test experience and questions that commonly appear on the DMV exam. All of these are based on the 2025 Florida Driver’s Handbook, and the official written test has 50 multiple-choice questions. You’ll need to get at least 40 correct to pass (that’s 80%).
Let’s dive in and get you ready to ace that test!
