Free Hawaii DMV Permit Practice Test Three 2025

The Aloha Spirit is embedded in Island culture, and a great way to practice it is to obey the rules of the road and follow safe driving practices. If you expect to earn a Hawaii learner’s permit, you’ll need to become familiar with these things to prove you understand traffic laws and know how to responsibly operate a vehicle. Courteous drivers incorporate these elements into their driving practices and keep the roads free of chaotic and reckless behavior. Your knowledge of road signs, rights-of-way, parking restrictions, and driving risks serves as the foundation for developing impeccable driving skills. Using a comprehensive study resource, you can accumulate a wealth of knowledge in pursuit of your learner’s permit.

Our free Hawaii DMV Permit Practice Test will provide expert instruction toward obtaining your learner’s permit. While there are multiple requirements you must meet, one of the most challenging is passing the official driver’s knowledge test. You must answer 80% of the 30 questions correctly to receive a passing score. There are various on-line resources that promise outstanding results to get you there. However, the practice test is the most effective and time-efficient one available. The practice test includes 40 multiple-choice questions to assess your current knowledge level and progressively advance your learning. These questions are like the ones on the official knowledge test and will guide your concentrated study needs.

With assistance from the Permit Practice Test, you will receive the most complete and informative test preparation available. The practice test is based on the most recent Hawaii DMV driver’s manual (Hawaii DMV Handbook (HI Driver's Manual) 2025) and is up to date as of March 2025. If you get a question wrong, the practice test will provide a detailed explanation of the correct answer. This information will help guide your reasoning through the most difficult test questions and can be applied to your driving habits. Study guides limit you by teaching you only to recite the correct answers. If you want the best, choose the practice test!
