Nebraska practice tests
The Nebraska Class O written test has 25 multiple-choice questions on traffic laws, signs, signals and safe driving, and you may miss no more than 5, so you need 20 correct (80 percent) to pass. You take it on a testing tablet at a Nebraska DMV driver licensing office, with a vision test, when you apply for a learner's permit or first license; it is offered in English, Spanish and American Sign Language. You can get a Learner's Permit (LPD) from age 15, or a School Learner's Permit from 14. Our free Nebraska practice sets follow the real format, 25 questions with 20 to pass, and every answer comes from the Nebraska Driver's Manual (January 2025).
