Practice by topic

Virginia is unusual in testing road signs as its own scored part, and in demanding a perfect score on it. That is the part worth drilling first.

• Traffic Signs – 105 questions
• Sharing the road – 25 questions
• Changing directions – 21 questions
• Driving at night and in bad weather – 20 questions
• Dealing with emergencies – 19 questions
• Changing positions – 18 questions
• Dealing with particular situations – 18 questions

• Stopping – 16 questions
• Parking – 14 questions
• Alcohol, Drugs and Driving – 13 questions
• Getting ready to drive – 11 questions

Every question comes with the correct answer, so a wrong one teaches you something. Nothing here is a substitute for the Virginia Driver's Manual, which is where Virginia’s own questions come from.
