Massachusetts DMV Examen de práctica 2026

The Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) knowledge test consists of 25 multiple-choice questions with a relatively forgiving passing score of 72% — you need just 18 out of 25 correct. This makes Massachusetts one of the easier states to pass in terms of the threshold, though the questions themselves still require solid preparation.

The test is administered on a computer at any RMV service center, and you'll have 25 minutes to complete it. Massachusetts is one of the few states that also offers online testing through Mass.Gov/RMV, though you may need to visit a service center first. The exam is available in an impressive 37+ languages, making it one of the most accessible in the nation.

The $30 testing fee applies each time you take the test, so passing on your first attempt saves money. If you fail, you can retake it the next business day, but you'll need to pay the fee again. There's no limit on the number of retake attempts.

To take the test, bring your proof of identity (birth certificate or passport), Social Security card, and proof of Massachusetts residency. Applicants under 18 need parental consent and must have completed a state-approved driver education course. The minimum age for a learner's permit is 16.

Massachusetts has a strict Junior Operator License (JOL) system for drivers under 18. After holding a permit for 6 months and completing driver education, teens can get a JOL with significant restrictions: no passengers under 18 (except immediate family) for the first 6 months, and a nighttime driving curfew from 12:30 AM to 5 AM. These restrictions lift at age 18.

The test covers standard topics from the Massachusetts Driver's Manual including traffic laws, road signs, right-of-way rules, speed limits, and DUI laws. Pay special attention to Massachusetts-specific rules like the "rotary" (roundabout) right-of-way laws, the state's hands-free driving law, and Boston's unique traffic patterns. A score of 72% means you can miss up to 7 questions — but don't let that make you complacent.
