Free ND DOT Diagnostic Test 2025

  • Perfect for learner’s permit, driver’s license, and Senior Refresher Test
  • Based on official North Dakota Driver's manual
  • Triple-checked for accuracy
  • Updated for October 2025

The Enchanted Highway features the world’s largest scrap metal sculptures. However, it could be a depressing route for you without a North Dakota driver’s license. If your lack of driving freedom is leaving you feeling a little iced out, you should prepare to take the North Dakota driver’s knowledge test. With a little study time and a proven test preparation strategy, you will be on your way to thawing out and showing off your expert driving skills.

If your knowledge of safe driving is limited to the basics, you will find the official knowledge test challenging. You’ll need to demonstrate your familiarity with road signs, signals, and traffic rules. Are you confident in your knowledge of these things, or do you need a little instruction? North Dakota requires you to answer 80% of the 25 questions correctly to receive an instruction permit or driver’s license. Although you may find some of the knowledge test questions relatively easy, there are 15 questions known for taking the wheels off of North Dakotans’ efforts to pass. These questions may be difficult because they are written in a confusing manner or their answer choices require relatively deep analysis. Don’t leave it to guesswork!

Your best study option is our free North Dakota DOT Diagnostic Driving practice test. It is based on the most recent North Dakota DOT driver’s manual (North Dakota DMV Handbook (ND Driver's Manual) 2025) and up to date as of October 2025. You won’t need to worry about those 15 questions any longer. The practice test will provide you with expert instruction that fills you with the knowledge and confidence needed to pass the official test on the first try. Study guides can’t make the same claim. By merely providing you with the correct answer to memorize, study guides limit your ability to answer a question confidently. The practice test gives you immediate feedback on any wrong answers you submit. A detailed explanation of the correct answer is given so you can grasp the information. This approach is useful because you will be able to apply the information as you reason through the test questions. The practice test is your key to a passing score and safe driving skills.

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 ;)
