Free Indiana BMV Permit Practice Test 2025

  • Perfect for learner’s permit, driver’s license, and Senior Refresher Test
  • Based on official Indiana Driver's manual
  • Triple-checked for accuracy
  • Updated for July 2025

To get your Indiana BMV learner’s permit, you must be at least 15 years old and pass a vision screening and the written permit knowledge test. If under 16, you’ll also need to enroll in a BMV-authorized behind-the-wheel training program. The test includes 50 multiple-choice questions covering material outlined in the state’s Indiana BMV 2025 Driver’s Manual. To pass, you must score at least 84% (42 out of 50 questions). There are online testing options for those under 21. Failing the test requires a retest fee, and after the third attempt, a two-week waiting period applies. Using our drivers’ practice tests ensures that doesn’t happen.

Use our free online Indiana BMV Permit Practice Test, updated for July 2025, as test study guides. It mimics real exam conditions, providing immediate feedback to speed the learning process.

The Learner’s Permit is the first phase of Indiana’s Graduated Driver’s License (GDL) program for drivers under 18. To apply, you must be at least 15 years old and enrolled in a driver’s education course. Without driver’s education, you’ll have to wait until you’re 16. With a permit, you can drive with a licensed driver (age 25+) or a spouse (age 21+). You must log 50 hours of supervised driving, including 10 at night. At 16 years and 90 days old (with driver’s ed) or 16 years and 270 days old (without), you can take a driving skills test for a probationary license, which has nighttime and passenger restrictions. After 180 days and reaching 18 years of age, you can apply for an unrestricted driver’s license.

If you’re 18 or older, most GDL phases don’t apply. You’ll still need to meet the requirements for a Learner’s Permit and pass the road skills test without GDL-mandated practice hours or driver’s education.

Once you’re ready to apply for the permit, visit the BMV with proof of identity (birth certificate, passport), Social Security card, and two proofs of residence (utility bill, bank statement). Applicants under 16 need proof of BMW-approved behind-the-wheel enrollment and, if under 18, signed consent (in person) from a parent or legal guardian. (Note: If you’re under 18, the BMV will not issue you a permit or license if you have been judged a habitual truant or dropout from school.) Submit the documents, pass a vision screening, pay the fee, and pass the official written test.
