ProAbout the Montana DMV Test
Montana's written knowledge test is administered by the Montana Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) and is required for anyone applying for a learner's permit or first driver's license. The test has 33 multiple-choice questions drawn from the Montana Driver Manual, and you need at least 27 correct answers (82%) to pass.
Where and How to Take It
In-person at any Montana Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) driver license station. Walk-ins are generally accepted, though booking ahead can shorten your wait.
What to Bring
Plan to bring the documents the MVD requires: Proof of identity (birth certificate or passport); Social Security number; Proof of Montana residency; Parental consent (if under 18); Proof of driver education enrollment (if under 15). The knowledge test is part of a permit fee of about $5.
On Test Day
Your results are shown immediately on screen.
If You Don't Pass
Your Montana license receipt is valid for 1 year and allows 3 attempts within that year to pass all required exams. Receipts cannot be renewed, so if you do not finish within the year you must re-apply and start over. MVD publishes no waiting period and no retest fee for the Class D written or driving test. CDL waits are published: next working day after a failed written or endorsement test, at least 24 hours after a failed pre-trip or basic control skills step, and at least 7 days after a failed on-road test.
Minimum Age and Eligibility
You must be at least 14½ years old to take the Montana knowledge test. Applicants under 18 must be enrolled in an approved driver education course to get a permit before age 15 and have parental consent.
After You Pass
A learner license allows supervised driving with a licensed driver 18+ in the front seat. You must hold for at least 6 months. First-year restricted license at 15 limits nighttime driving. Full license available at 16.
