Free Louisiana OMV Permit Practice Test 2023 | LA

This Louisiana OMV practice test has just been updated for October 2023 and covers 40 of the most essential road signs and rules questions directly from the official 2023 LA Driver Handbook. To begin driving in Louisiana, you’ll first need to pass a written knowledge test of 40 questions based on Louisiana’s rules of the road, road signs, and driver’s license regulations, all of which are covered in the 2023 Louisiana Drivers Guide. The test requires that you correctly answer at least 32 of the 40 questions to pass, achieving a passing ratio of 80% or better. If you are between the ages of 15 and 17, you’ll need to take a driver’s education course that includes eight hours of behind-the-wheel instruction, or if you’re 18 or older, you may choose to take a six-hour pre-licensing course with an additional eight hours of instruction while behind the wheel. When you show up to take your test at your local OMV, you’ll need to provide a certificate from the driving course you’ve taken, a birth certificate, identification, your social security number, proof of current school attendance if you are under age 18, and the $32.25 permit or license fee. You’ll also be required to pass a standard eye exam. Use this OMV practice test to help prepare you for the Louisiana written knowledge test, to help you pass on your first try, and get you on your way to becoming a licensed driver.
