The real North Carolina knowledge test is the DMV exam used for a learner permit. This page contains one fixed 20 question slice of the full free 180 question bank, with an explanation after each answer.
Sample question from test 6
safe-driving
A North Carolina driver who is 15 but not yet 18 may apply for a Level One Limited Learner Permit after completing what course requirement?
- An approved course with at least 30 classroom hours and six behind the wheel hours
- A ten hour online course with no driving instruction
- A 20 hour classroom course followed by one road test
- A commercial driver course with 40 hours of classroom instruction
Answer: An approved course with at least 30 classroom hours and six behind the wheel hours. The handbook requires an approved driver education course containing at least 30 hours of classroom instruction and six hours behind the wheel before the learner permit test. The choice offering only online study leaves out the required practical instruction, while the 20 hour and commercial course options change the stated threshold and type of training. A useful preparation cue is to remember the pair as 30 plus 6. This requirement belongs to the Level One application process for applicants under 18, not to the ordinary adult learner permit described earlier in the chapter.
