Montana DMV Examen de práctica 2026

Montana's knowledge test is administered by the Motor Vehicle Division (MVD), which operates under the Montana Department of Justice. The test has 33 multiple-choice questions, and you need to score at least 82% — that's 27 out of 33 correct — to pass. This makes Montana's passing threshold slightly above average.

The test is taken on a computer at any MVD driver license station. Walk-ins are generally accepted, and no appointment is needed at most locations. The test is currently available in English only. All questions are drawn from the Montana Driver Manual, which covers traffic laws, road signs, and safe driving practices specific to Montana's unique driving conditions.

The learner license fee is just $5, and the fee covers 3 attempts at the knowledge test. If you don't pass within 3 tries, you'll need to pay the fee again. You must wait at least 24 hours between retake attempts.

Bring your proof of identity (birth certificate or passport), Social Security number, and proof of Montana residency. The minimum age for a learner license is 14 years and 6 months, but applicants under 15 must be enrolled in an approved driver education course. Parental consent is required for all applicants under 18.

Montana's graduated licensing system starts with the learner license, which requires a licensed driver 18 or older in the front passenger seat at all times. After holding the learner license for at least 6 months, you can get a first-year restricted license at 15, which limits nighttime driving. A full license is available at 16.

Montana has some unique driving considerations that appear on the test. The state's vast rural distances, wildlife crossings (especially deer and elk), winter driving conditions, and mountain driving require special knowledge. Montana also has specific laws about school zones, passing on two-lane highways, and DUI penalties. Pay particular attention to speed limit rules — Montana once had no daytime speed limit on some highways, and while that era has ended, the state's speed regulations are still distinct. Study the Montana Driver Manual thoroughly.
