Where these questions come from

VicRoads does not publish the VIC learner permit knowledge test question bank. The 120 questions here are original practice questions written for this site against the current Victoria road rules, with the rule cited on every answer. They are not the official questions and nothing on this page says otherwise.

The road sign questions, and the sign artwork with them, were written and drawn for this site as well.

The VIC ladder, in order

Work down it. Each stage says how big it is before you commit to anything in it.

The essentials

Start here: numbered sets that between them cover the pool once without repeating a question, the whole pool in one sitting, and a short check to find your weak topics. 6 tests, 10 to 120 questions

Harder situations and road signs

Intersections, roundabouts, lane rules and the signs people read the wrong way round. 7 tests, 10 to 25 questions

The rules that carry penalties

Speed, alcohol and drugs, phones, restraints, pedestrians and parking, which cost drivers more marks than they expect. 6 tests, 9 to 11 questions

The exam simulator

The real shape of the sitting, in its own sections, with answers held back to the end. 1 test, 32 questions

The challenge deck

Every question you answer wrong on this site goes into one deck kept in this browser, car and motorcycle together, with nothing sent anywhere and no account behind it.

How the VIC learner permit knowledge test runs

The learner permit knowledge test asks 32 multiple choice questions and needs 78% correct. It is sat as part of the learner permit appointment. Our Victorian questions are written from scratch against the current road rules, with the rule cited on every answer, because the Victorian handbook and legislation are Crown copyright rather than open licensed.

Hazard Perception Test

Sat before the drive test. Fee about $25.

Where VIC learners come unstuck

More than one Victorian drive test in five ends early. The examiner stops the drive on a critical error, so the fail can arrive long before the route does.
