About the Iowa DMV written exam

If you're applying for your first Iowa driver license or learner's permit, you'll need to pass a written knowledge test covering road rules, traffic signs, and safe driving practices specific to Iowa. Our practice quizlets are built to match that exam as closely as possible.

What's on the test

  • Traffic laws — right-of-way, speed limits, and lane usage in Iowa.
  • Road signs — recognize regulatory, warning, and guide signs at a glance.
  • Safe driving — defensive driving, weather conditions, sharing the road.
  • Alcohol & drugs — Iowa's DUI laws and penalties.
  • Emergencies — what to do at the scene of a crash, vehicle failures, and more.
