Vermont DMV is administered by the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), headquartered in Montpelier. The official Vermont written knowledge exam has 20 questions, and drivers must answer 16 correctly (80%) to pass. Our practice tests match the exact format, topics, and difficulty of the real Vermont DMV test.
What makes the Vermont DMV test unique?
Vermont's 20-question exam is short but covers unique Green Mountain driving, covered-bridge clearances, and extensive ice/snow protocols.
Vermont requires that snow be cleared from the roof, hood, and trunk of a vehicle before driving — failure to do so is a traffic violation.
Covered-bridge clearance questions (and how to measure them) are Vermont-unique.
