About this test
Practice for the Iowa driver's permit (learner's) knowledge test with original questions written from the official Iowa driver handbook (M1170 07/23/2026). Every correct answer is backed by a passage of the handbook and checked by two independent verifiers.
- Study: every question with a short explanation.
- Topic drills: signs and markings, rules of the road, safe driving, alcohol and penalties, your license.
- Mock test: not offered, because the state does not publish the number of questions on its test.
The questions are written in our own words in English and Spanish; this is not the state's question bank. Signs are described in words (no images).
