Free North Carolina DMV Permit Practice Test Three 2024
Welcome to our third North Carolina Permit Practice Test! It was designed to help you get ready for your NC Permit Test, using the same scoring and grading methods, so that there are no surprizes when you go to the DMV for the real thing! We have used the official North Carolina Driver’s Handbook, feedback from users who already passed this test, and also some insider info (wink wink!) -- take this test as many times as needed until you feel you’re ready! There is no guarantee, of course, that you’ll get the exact same questions as the DMV randomly picks them from a database of hundreds of questions, but your chances are still VERY high if you use our tests to prepare. There are 40 multiple-choice questions, each of them with 4 answers. If you are not sure, see the Hint. If you still make a mistake, we’ll show you the correct answer and an explanation.
If you find this test useful, please let your friends know by recommending our tests on Facebook, so that your friends can get ready for their tests, too. Good luck!

Every question we develop is based on the most recent version of each state's official driving manual. Our team regularly monitors each state DMV's website for the latest updates to ensure our practice tests are always aligned with the most current information. - Community Feedback Integration:
We leverage feedback from our vast community of users to understand which topics are most frequently tested. This helps us focus on the areas that are most relevant and beneficial for your preparation. - Expert Content Creation:
Our in-house editor, Steven, who has extensive experience in driver education, crafts each question with precision. He conducts a thorough review of each question against the official manuals to ensure accuracy. - Rigorous Review Process:
