West Virginia Permit Practice Test

Topics on the West Virginia test

You get 19 questions arranged in four blocks: 7 road sign questions, 6 rules-of-the-road questions, 2 pavement marking questions, and 4 questions about West Virginia. Signs are tested by shape, color, and meaning. Rules cover right-of-way, speed, passing, and safe following distance. Markings cover center lines and lane lines and what each pattern allows. The four state questions rely only on the verified facts in the next section.

State facts the questions draw on

In West Virginia, licensing runs through the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The minimum age for a learner’s permit is 15. Drivers under 18 must log 50 hours of supervised practice. The adult per-se blood alcohol limit is 0.08.

• Licensing agency: Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV)
• Minimum permit age: 15
• Supervised practice hours for drivers under 18: 50
• Adult per-se blood alcohol limit: 0.08

Those four items are the complete factual basis for the West Virginia questions. Nothing else about the state is claimed anywhere on this page.

How answers and scoring work

The test presents 19 questions, each with four possible answers. Choose one and it is marked right or wrong immediately, followed by a one-line explanation of the correct choice. Once you finish, a full review shows every question alongside your answer and the correct one, so you can see exactly where to focus. Your best score is stored in your browser, which gives each retake a number to beat.
