What to Expect on the Oregon Permit Test
The Driver and Motor Vehicle Services (DMV) requires every new driver to pass a written knowledge test before being issued a learner's permit. In Oregon the exam has 35 multiple-choice questions, you need 28 correct to reach the 80% passing score, and you must be at least 15 years old to apply. Every question is drawn from the official Oregon driver's handbook, so the topics on our practice tests match exactly what the DMV asks.
Topics Covered on the OR Written Test
- Traffic Laws: State-specific rules of the road, including right-of-way, lane changing, and intersection rules
- Road Signs: Recognition and meaning of all standard road signs - warning, regulatory, and informational
- Speed Limits: Default speed limits, school zones, work zones, and highway speeds

How to Prepare for the Oregon Permit Test
The strongest preparation pairs a read-through of the official Oregon Driver's Handbook with repeated practice tests that surface your weak spots. Because the DMV draws all 35 questions from that handbook, Oregon drivers who consistently clear 80% on our practice tests - and review the explanation on every miss - usually pass the real exam on their first attempt. Aim for 28 or more correct, every time, before you book your appointment.
