What Is a Practice Test?

You can think of online practice tests as modern study guides.

The information is presented in a written test format to help you prepare to take the Montana written exam. The questions you'll find on these industry-leading practice tests are akin to the questions you'll face when you take your written exam.

Why Take a MT Practice Test?

If you want to prepare for the written exam, the Montana Motor Vehicle Division suggests studying the driver manual. Although it's a good suggestion, not everyone has the time to read the entire manual.

A less time-consuming option is to prepare with a practice test offered by our certified partner. These tests are designed to help you learn the information faster and retain it longer.

The practice tests offered for Montana feature two types of study formats:

  • Study Guide Mode. In this mode you'll randomly be asked 5 questions at a time until you answer them all. The correct answers to each set of 5 question will be immediately available for review.
  • Test Mode. In this mode, a random test of 25 to 50 questions will be generated for you to answer. Your progress will be tallied once you complete all the questions on the exam.

What Types of Practice Tests Are Offered?

Each practice test is available in an online format so you can study them on your computer, smartphone, or tablet. They can also be printed and studied wherever you like, even in line at the MVD. You'll have the choice between either the 50-question practice test, or you can opt for a 100-question test for additional preparation.
