What to Expect on the Vermont Written Exam

When taking the Vermont written knowledge test, you'll visit a Vermont DMV office by appointment and answer 20 multiple-choice questions on a computer or paper test. The questions cover traffic laws, road signs, vehicle operation, parking rules, and safe driving practices. You'll have adequate time to complete all questions without time pressure. To pass, you must answer at least 16 questions correctly. Results are provided immediately upon completion. If you pass, you'll move toward obtaining your learner's permit (after paying the additional $24 fee). If you fail, you can schedule another appointment with a minimum one-day waiting period. Vermont requires learner's permit holders to drive for a full year under supervision before taking the road skills test, giving you plenty of time to gain experience.
