Learn the test format

The Class C test has 25 questions, a 20-minute time limit, and an 88% passing score. That requires 22 correct answers. This practice set mirrors those settings but contains original study questions.

Know permit supervision rules

A Maryland learner’s permit holder must be accompanied by a qualified supervising driver age 21 or older who has held a license for at least three years. The supervisor sits in the front passenger seat, with no other front-seat passenger.

Complete the practice log

For a learner under 25, Maryland requires at least 60 hours of supervised practice, including 10 hours during the specified nighttime period. Applicants age 25 or older have a separate 14-hour requirement, including three nighttime hours.

Understand provisional restrictions

Drivers under 18 generally hold a learner’s permit for nine violation-free months before a provisional license. Early provisional restrictions include a midnight-to-5 a.m. limit and passenger limits for the first 151 days, with exceptions described by MVA.

A practical study routine

  1. Read the Maryland Driver’s Manual sections on signs, traffic laws, intersections, pedestrians, bicycles, and sharing the road.
  2. Take the 25-question, 20-minute practice set and note the topics you missed.
  3. Review each explanation and its cited source.
