Indiana BMV Exam Simulator

A full-length mock exam: Indiana does not publish a question count; we use 30 questions at its 80% pass mark. New questions every attempt.

  • Knowledge test: 30 questions, 24 correct to pass.
  • No time limit, like the real test. Take your time.
  • You won’t see whether you were right until the end, just like at the Indiana test. Then you can review every answer with its explanation.
  • Questions are drawn fresh from the full Indiana bank each time.

How the real Indiana knowledge test works

Indiana does not publish a question count; we use 30 questions at its 80% pass mark. This simulator follows the same structure, gives no feedback until you finish, and draws a new set of questions from the full Indiana bank every time.

Aim to pass the simulator two or three times in a row, on different days, before you book your test.

Sample questions from this test

  1. What is the youngest age at which you can get an Indiana learner's permit?

    • A 15, if enrolled with a BMV licensed behind-the-wheel training provider

    • C 16, with no exceptions for driver education students
    • D 15 and a half, after finishing an online theory course
    Show answer

    A. 15, if enrolled with a BMV licensed behind-the-wheel training provider

    Indiana lets you get a learner's permit at 15 only if you show a Certificate of Driver Education Enrollment from a BMV licensed behind-the-wheel training provider. Without driver education you must wait until you are 16.
