Nevada driving practice tests

The real test

• The test ends early either way: it stops as soon as you have 20 correct answers, and it stops as soon as you have six wrong.
• You can take it at a DMV office on a touch screen, in English or Spanish and with audio, or at home through KnowToDrive Nevada.
• The DMV testing fee is $25 for your first knowledge and skills test and $10 for each retest. KnowToDrive charges $6.75 per attempt on top of that.
• If reading the test is the problem, you may ask for an oral examination instead.
• Passing buys you an instruction permit that is good for one year. Let it lapse by more than 30 days and you sit the knowledge test again.
• Under 18 you also need a parent or guardian to co-sign, a DMV 301 Certification of Attendance from your school, and a vision check.

Read the official handbook

This is the source everything on the real test comes from, and it is free. Practice questions find your gaps; the handbook fills them. Read it on the government's own site so you get the current version.

Watch out for

Rules that catch people out in Nevada specifically.

• Nevada school zones are 15 or 25 mph, and the limit runs from a half hour before school opens to a half hour after it closes - not only while children are visible.
• The school bus rule has exactly one exception: on a divided highway you stop only if you are traveling the same direction as the bus. Everywhere else, both directions stop.
• Signal distances are tested by the number: 100 feet on city streets, 300 feet on open highways, for turns and for lane changes alike.
• Riding in the bed of a pickup is legal in Nevada once you are 18. Only under-18s are barred from it on a paved highway, and people miss this by assuming a blanket ban.
• No speed limit anywhere in Nevada may exceed 80 mph, and 80 really is posted on some rural interstate. The handbook prints examples, not the ceiling.
