Free Online DOT Written Test Practice for Iowa (2025)

  • Perfect for learner’s permit, driver’s license, and senior refresher test

You are jealous of your friends who have driving licenses and whom you ask to give you a ride from time to time. What’s the problem? You can have your own license and – who knows – might give your friend a ride some day! All it takes is some time and effort – and with our 2nd IA permit practice test you won’t even need to leave the comfort of your home. Right, it’s here and now – the close-to-real-life experience of a real DMV Permit Test. Impressed? There’s more – our test is based on the new official Iowa Driver’s Manual, so you can rely on it to only contain the most up-to-date info. Have a look.

There are 40 multiple-choice questions that you’ll answer by clicking one of the four offered options. Sometimes you know the right answer but other times you have to guess. It’s OK, guessing counts. And if you want to make your guesses more accurate, check our hints – use them well. The progress bar on the left-hand side of the page will show you how well you’re doing by marking each correct answer with green. If the color’s red, you need to hold your horses and read our explanations – you don’t want to make the same mistake on the real DMV test. Do our IA permit practice test several times to enhance your knowledge and master your test skills.

Not to worry, you won’t have any payments requests while you’re practicing with us – we don’t charge any fees. Can’t believe it? Try it , you won’t even have to register.

We know how Driver's Ed goes

The material is dry. Studying it is tedious. And you don't want to step foot inside the DMV. So you dread it, avoid it, pretend it doesn't exist. Or you go to the DMV and shoot your shot. You walk in. Take a number. Then the number takes your soul.

Noses sneeze. Babies cry. Frustration groans. And when it's finally time to take your test, you're sweating. Thirty minutes later, you're crying. Because despite your best efforts. You failed. Next thing you know, you're chasing a Waymo in circles to get home (embarrassing!).
That ends here.
At Driving Tests, we know emotions can get in the way of doing what you need to do. So we deliver Driver's Ed that makes it easy to start, and even easier to finish. We get you DMV Smart ASAP. Testing you with real, up-to-date questions. Backing up tricky driving situations with easy-to-grasp visuals & engaging practice tests that reaffirm what you know, and test you again on what you don't. So by the time test day comes - you *own* the DMV. Your only worry? Convincing the proctor you didn't cheat ;)
