Study by Category
Master each topic before your Mississippi written test. 4 categories are free to start.
Shape and color carry the meaning before you can read the words: an octagon is always stop, a yellow diamond always warns. Covers regulatory, warning, guide and work-zone signs, including the ones with no text at all.
Speed limits, parking and the everyday rules that carry points when broken. Covers the basic speed law, why a posted limit is a maximum rather than a target, and where you may never stop or park.
Signals, flashing lights, and the arrows that override them. Covers what a yellow light actually requires of you, when a red arrow forbids a turn a red ball would allow, and who has control when the lights go dark.
The paperwork side of driving legally. Covers licensing and insurance requirements, what to carry in the vehicle, and the steps to take after a collision.

ProAbout the Mississippi DMV Test
Mississippi's written knowledge test is administered by the Mississippi Department of Public Safety (DPS) and is required for anyone applying for a learner's permit or first driver's license. The test has 30 multiple-choice questions drawn from the Mississippi Driver's Manual, and you need at least 24 correct answers (80%) to pass.
Where and How to Take It
In-person at any Mississippi DPS driver's license station. Walk-ins are generally accepted, though booking ahead can shorten your wait. The DPS lists the knowledge test in several languages, including English, Spanish. Confirm the current options with the DPS, since the languages a test is offered in can differ from the languages the handbook is published in.
What to Bring
Plan to bring the documents the DPS requires: Proof of identity (birth certificate or passport); Social Security card; Proof of Mississippi residency; Parental consent (if under 15); Proof of school enrollment (if under 17). The knowledge test is part of a permit fee of about $7.
On Test Day
Your results are shown immediately on screen.
If You Don't Pass
Mississippi DPS does not publish a waiting period, an attempt limit, or a retest fee for the knowledge test. Contact your local Driver Service Bureau office to confirm when you can retest. If you are caught using a phone or notes during the test, the test is cancelled and you cannot test again for 6 months.
Minimum Age and Eligibility
You must be at least 15 years old to take the Mississippi knowledge test. Applicants under 18 must have parental consent and pass a vision test and knowledge test.
After You Pass
