What Is the Learner Permit Test?

The learner permit test, also known as the Victorian learner licence knowledge test, is a computer-based assessment you’ll take at a VicRoads office or authorised testing centre. This test evaluates your understanding of Victoria’s road rules, road signs, and safe driving practices. You’ll need to answer multiple-choice questions covering everything from give-way rules to speed limits and hazard awareness.

To pass, you must correctly answer at least 28 out of 32 questions in the Road to Solo Driving section. The test is designed to ensure you have the foundational knowledge needed to begin supervised driving on Victorian roads safely.

Who Needs to Take the Learner Permit Test?

If you’re at least 16 years old and want to learn to drive in Victoria, you’ll need to pass the learner permit test. This applies to anyone who:

  • Has never held a driver’s licence before
  • Holds an overseas licence and needs to convert to a Victorian licence
  • Wants to add a new class of vehicle to their existing licence (such as motorcycles or heavy vehicles)

Whether you’re a teenager eager to start driving or an adult returning to learning, Monikas Driving School welcomes learners of all ages and backgrounds across Melbourne.

What Topics Are Covered in the Learner Permit Test?

The VicRoads learner permit test covers essential knowledge areas that every Victorian driver needs to master:

Road Rules and Regulations: Understanding right-of-way situations, roundabout rules, intersection protocols, and general traffic laws that keep our roads safe.

Traffic Signs and Signals: Recognising and interpreting regulatory signs, warning signs, information signs, and traffic light sequences.

Safe Driving Practices: Learning about stopping distances, driving in different weather conditions, managing distractions, and understanding the dangers of drink and drug driving.

Sharing the Road: Knowing how to safely interact with pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, and heavy vehicles.

Speed Limits and Zones: Understanding Victorian speed restrictions in different areas, including school zones and residential streets.

How to Prepare for Your Learner Permit Test?

Preparation is the key to passing your learner permit test with confidence. Here’s how to set yourself up for success:

Study the VicRoads Road to Solo Driving Handbook: This is your essential study guide. Read it thoroughly, taking notes on areas you find challenging.

Take Practice Tests: Familiarise yourself with the test format by completing online practice questions. This helps you identify knowledge gaps and builds your confidence.

Understand, Don’t Just Memorise: Focus on understanding why rules exist, not just memorising answers. This deeper knowledge will serve you well both in the test and on the road.

Review Road Signs Regularly: Create flashcards or use apps to help you recognise and understand the meaning of different traffic signs quickly.

Ask Questions: If you’re confused about any road rule or concept, seek clarification before your test day.
