Wyoming practice tests
The Wyoming written test runs on an automated testing system, in English only, and covers sign shapes, colors and symbols, signals and pavement markings, and multiple-choice questions on traffic laws, safety rules, crash prevention and vehicle equipment. You take it with a vision screening when you apply for an instruction permit from age 15. The Wyoming driver license manual does not publish how many questions the test has or its passing score, so our free Wyoming practice sets use our own choice of 25 questions with 20 correct (80 percent) to pass, and every answer comes from Wyoming's Rules of the Road driver license manual.

|---|---|---|
| Questions | Not publishedThe manual describes an automated written test covering identification of signs by shape, color or symbol, identification of signals and pavement markings, and multiple-choice questions on traffic laws, safety rules, crash prevention and vehicle equipment, but it does not give the number of questions. Our six practice sets use 25 questions each; that size is our own choice. | Rules of the Road, State of Wyoming Driver License Manual 2021 (Class C), PDFchecked 2026-11-01 |
| To pass | Not publishedThe manual does not give a passing score. Our practice sets use 20 of 25 (80 percent) as our own standard. The manual does say that applicants who miss 13 or more questions wait three days before retesting. | Rules of the Road, State of Wyoming Driver License Manual 2021 (Class C), PDFchecked 2026-11-01 |

| Languages | English only; interpreter allowed; audio option at the testing stationThe WYDOT testing page says English is the only language Wyoming tests are given in and all manuals are printed only in English, but you may use an interpreter for non-commercial written tests. Applicants who have difficulty reading can hear the questions through a phone system on the automated test, and you choose that option when you set up the test at the testing station. The 2021 manual says to ask for an oral test before the test; we follow the newer page. | WYDOT Driver License: Testingchecked 2026-11-01 |
| Who takes the written test | Anyone never licensed before, or whose license expired two or more years agoThe WYDOT testing page says the automated test asks questions for the class of license you want, plus questions on seat belt use and other Wyoming driving laws. | WYDOT Driver License: Testingchecked 2026-11-01 |
| Retakes | The written test may be taken twice in one dayThe WYDOT testing page says you may take the same written test only twice in one day. The 2021 manual also says applicants who fail wait 24 hours before testing again, and those who miss 13 or more questions wait three days. After a failed driving skills test, the examiner can set a wait of days or weeks, often because you need more practice. | WYDOT Driver License: Testingchecked 2026-11-01 |
| Minimum age | 15 for an instruction permit (14-15 for a hardship restricted license); 16 for an intermediate license; 17 for full privilegesFull privileges are also available at 16 and a half with approved driver education and an intermediate license held at least six months. A parent or legal guardian must sign a release for applicants under 18. | Rules of the Road, State of Wyoming Driver License Manual 2021 (Class C), PDFchecked 2026-11-01 |
| Learner's permit rules | A licensed driver 18 or older in the front passenger seat; valid one year; hold at least 10 daysThe WYDOT learner permits page says a regular learner's permit is generally issued at 15 or 16 but is open to anyone older who is learning to drive. The supervisor must hold a valid license at least equal to the vehicle being driven. The permit is valid for one year and may be renewed as often as needed, but it must be held for at least 10 days before you apply for full driving privileges or an intermediate permit. You apply in person at a driver exam office to be photographed and pass the written test and vision screening there, but you can start the process online through oneWYO. | WYDOT Driver License: Learner Permitschecked 2026-11-01 |
| Intermediate license | 50 practice hours including 10 at night; no driving 11 p.m. to 5 a.m.; one non-family passenger under 18The WYDOT learner permits page (which calls it an intermediate permit, or I2C) says you must be 16, have held a learner's permit for at least 10 days, log 50 hours behind the wheel including 10 at night, and pass a driving skills test with Driver Services or an approved driver education program, plus a vision screening and a parent or guardian's signature. You hold it for at least six months or until you turn 17. Everyone must be belted, and exception forms cover work, school, school activities, organized youth sports, religious activities and medical necessity; one form is needed for each event, and none is needed in a true medical emergency. The limits do not apply when the front-seat passenger is 18 or older with a full license. The manual adds that a violation brings a 30-day suspension and the license expires 30 days after the 17th birthday. | WYDOT Driver License: Learner Permitschecked 2026-11-01 |
| Restricted (hardship) permit | Ages 14 and 15; 60-day permit held at least 10 days; then driving 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. within 50 miles of homeThe WYDOT learner permits page says a minor may qualify if home is more than 5 miles from school, if they have a regular job of at least 10 hours a week more than 5 miles from home, if they need to drive for a parent's business, or for another extreme inconvenience the Wyoming Highway Patrol accepts. You mail the application packet to the Highway Patrol, and approval can take up to six weeks. A licensed adult 18 or older must ride along on the permit, and a moving violation or driving outside the hours or radius brings a suspension. | WYDOT Driver License: Learner Permitschecked 2026-11-01 |
| Skills test | Bring your own registered, insured vehicle; book through oneWYO or your local officeThe WYDOT testing page says many exam stations require an appointment. The vehicle needs front seat belts and working brakes and brake lights, head and tail lights, turn signals, horn, mirrors, doors, wipers and tires, with no windshield cracks that block your view. An interpreter is allowed on a non-commercial skills test, and breaking state law is an automatic fail. | WYDOT Driver License: Testingchecked 2026-11-01 |
