How the Virginia DMV written test works

The Virginia DMV written knowledge test consists of 50 multiple-choice questions drawn from the Virginia driver handbook. To pass the Virginia exam, you need at least 40 correct answers — a 80% passing score. The Virginia test covers road signs, traffic laws, right-of-way rules, and safe driving practices specific to Virginia.

The Virginia DMV accepts walk-ins for the written test, though wait times vary by location and time of day.

In Virginia, the written test is offered in 24 languages: English, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Korean (+19).

If you don't pass: Under 18 must wait 15 days between retakes. Age 18+ can retake once per day. No limit on total attempts.
