How Many Questions Are on the Oregon Permit Test?
Oregon's learner's permit knowledge test has 35 multiple-choice questions, covering traffic laws, road signs, and safe driving practices from the Oregon Driver Manual.
A second test most states don't require
An applicant younger than 16 must also pass a separate 20-question test focused specifically on safe driving practices, in addition to the standard 35-question exam.
That second test doesn't apply once you're 16 or older when you first apply — it's tied to age at application, not a universal requirement.
Take it online or in person
Oregon's DMV2U lets most applicants take the knowledge test on a computer at home, with a webcam capturing identity photos during the test — no DMV visit required for the test itself.
An applicant can also test at a DMV office through standby service or a DMV2U-scheduled appointment, and up to four online attempts are allowed before an in-person visit becomes mandatory.
How our practice tests are structured
dmvwrittenexam.com splits its 145 original Oregon permit questions into multiple 25-question practice tests, giving far more repetitions than the official 35-question test alone would.
Each question includes an explanation and a source reference, so you learn why an answer is correct instead of just memorizing a letter.
