MINNESOTA STUDY GUIDE

How to prepare for Minnesota’s written knowledge test

The Minnesota Driver’s Manual (June 2026) says the Class D written test includes multiple-choice and true-or-false questions about Minnesota traffic laws and road signs. Read the manual along with this original practice set, then use the explanations to review missed material.

Know the published test rules

The current manual requires an 80% score and allows one written test per day. The 40-question count comes from a 2021 state Legislative Auditor report; the DVS web-based proctor guide lists a 40-minute limit. Our mock reflects these published references but is not the official test.

Prepare for Minnesota conditions

Remove snow and ice from your hood, windows, and lights before driving. Adjust speed to road conditions and avoid cruise control on slippery roads. In fog, use low beams and pull off the road if you cannot see safely.

Study school-bus rules

Stop at least 20 feet from a school bus displaying flashing red lights and remain stopped until they are off. Minnesota’s 2026 manual says you must stop even if the stop arm does not swing out. Opposing traffic on a divided highway is the stated exception.

Understand teen GDL steps

Teens may apply for an instruction permit at age 15 after completing the required classroom instruction and enrolling in behind-the-wheel training. A permit holder under 18 must drive with a qualified supervisor age 21 or older. Provisional-license rules limit passengers, nighttime driving, and phone use.

A practical study routine

  1. Read the June 2026 Minnesota Driver’s Manual, especially traffic laws, sharing the road, signs, and driving conditions.
  2. Take the timed 40-question practice set and record topics you miss.
  3. Read the explanation and open its cited law or manual section when you need more detail.
  4. Retry missed questions and verify appointment and testing information with DVS.
