What to Expect on the Nebraska Written Exam

When you visit a Nebraska DMV office for your written test, you'll check in at the front desk and present your application and identification documents. You'll be directed to a testing station where you'll take the 25-question multiple-choice test on a computer. The test typically takes 15-30 minutes to complete. Questions cover material from the Nebraska Driver's Manual and focus on traffic laws, safe driving practices in Nebraska conditions, road signs, right-of-way rules, and vehicle equipment. The testing environment is supervised and quiet, with staff available to help with procedural matters but not test content. After completing the test, you'll receive immediate feedback on whether you passed. If you pass, you'll move forward with the licensing process. If you fail, you can schedule another attempt (subject to waiting periods after multiple failures).

Car / Standard Driver License

The Nebraska written knowledge test has 25 multiple-choice questions covering traffic laws, road signs, and safe driving practices, with an 80% passing score (20 correct answers) required. The fee is $10.50 for a School Permit or Learner's Permit, or $17.50 for a Provisional Operator's Permit. You can attempt the test multiple times until passing; after failing three times, you must wait 7 days before retesting. If you fail six times, completion of an approved driver training course or a 90-day waiting period is required before additional attempts. You can apply for a Learner's Permit 60 days before turning 15, but it cannot be issued until you turn 15 or later.

Motorcycle Endorsement

The Nebraska Class M motorcycle license has a 5-year fee of $26.50 to $28.50 (includes $2.50 security surcharge). The written and skill tests are only available at select DMVs. However, if you complete a Nebraska-approved motorcycle safety education program within 24 months, you can waive both the written and skill tests. The test covers motorcycle-specific operation, safety, and road rules.

Commercial Driver License (CDL)

The Nebraska Commercial Driver's License program requires a Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP) costing $15 and passing general knowledge and endorsement tests. CDL fees vary by license validity: 1 year ($16), 2 years ($27), 3 years ($38), 4 years ($49). Available endorsements include Hazardous Materials (H), Tank Vehicles (N), Doubles/Triples (T), Passenger (P), and School Bus (S). HazMat endorsements require fingerprinting and a security threat assessment with associated fees. County DMV offices may charge different fees, so verify current rates locally.
