How it works

Learn first, then test yourself.

The app has two parts, and each one has a job. You don’t read chapters before the questions start. You’re taught by being asked, a few questions at a time.

The Learn route in DMV Champ: short practices in steps, from road signs to the laws.

Learn

Learn is where you study

Learn is a route of short practices, about ten questions each, in seven steps from road signs to the laws. Every answer is explained the moment you check it, so a wrong answer is how the next thing is taught. Work through the practices until you’ve answered every question and fixed every mistake.

Test

Test is where you check what you’ve learned

5 simulated tests, each one in the same format as your state’s real test. Nothing is revealed until the end, and you’re graded against your state’s passing score.

What makes it work

Built to get you through the test once.

Four things the app does, so what you practice is what you remember on test day.

Every answer, explained on the spot

Check an answer and the reasoning appears right there. You learn the rule while the question is still in front of you.

Mistakes come back until you get them right

A wrong answer isn’t a score you live with. The question goes to your mistakes in Review, where you practice them on their own. Get one right there and it leaves the list. Miss it again and it comes back.

The chance of passing in DMV Champ’s Test tab: 92%, very likely to pass.

Your chance of passing, test by test

Take a simulated test and see how likely you are to pass the real one. Your latest test counts the most, and the more tests you take, the more accurate it gets.

The test simulator in DMV Champ’s Test tab: 25 questions, 18 to pass, 25 minutes.

5 simulated tests in your state’s format

The same number of questions, the same passing score and the same time limit as your state’s test. Nothing is revealed mid-test, every attempt is graded at the end, and you can retake any test with its questions reordered.

Your state’s test

Each state has its own test.

Yours sets how many questions you get, the score you need to pass, and the time limit. Pick your state once and the test simulator uses the same format.

Questions

Good to know before you start.

Is DMV Champ a DMV practice test?

Yes, and a bit more. It has every kind of question your state’s DMV knowledge test asks, the written test you pass to get a learner’s permit, and explains each one as you answer. Then 5 simulated tests check you in your state’s exact format.

How many questions are on the DMV permit test?

It depends on your state. In the states that publish it, it runs from 18 questions in Pennsylvania to 50 in Florida, New Jersey, Utah and Wisconsin, with a passing score of 70% to 88%. The state pages list every format.

Which states does it cover?

All 50 states and Washington, DC. You choose your state during setup, and the test simulator uses your state’s number of questions, passing score and time limit. You can change it any time in Settings.

Does it work offline?

You need an internet connection to start a practice or a test, because the questions and their pictures are downloaded rather than built into the app. If a practice’s pictures are still downloading, the app asks you to wait a moment. Once you’ve started, a dropped connection never interrupts you.

Is it available in Spanish?

The app is available in English and Spanish. The questions are in English for now, and a Spanish set will arrive as an update to the questions rather than a new version of the app.

Is this an official DMV app?

No. DMV Champ is a study app made by CloudForge. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to any Department of Motor Vehicles, state agency or AAMVA. Always check your state’s current handbook for the rules that apply to you.

Ready when you are.

A few questions a day is enough. Start with your state.
