How the written test works

25 multiple‑choice questions.
Pass = 20 correct (80%).
Offered in English or Spanish on‑screen. If you need another language, ask about options at the branch.
Questions come from the Nevada Driver’s Handbook. That’s your source of truth.

Start with the handbook, but don’t try to memorize every page like a school assignment. Focus on the parts that always show up: signs and signals, lane markings, right‑of‑way, speed control, headlights, safe following distance, and sharing the road with pedestrians, bikes, motorcycles, and big trucks.

When you read, translate each rule into an action you can do behind the wheel. “Yield” should become “slow down, check both sides, go only when it’s clear.” “Broken yellow” should become “I can pass if I have space and no oncoming traffic.” If you can explain a rule in one clean sentence, you’re learning the right way.

The bottom line is straightforward. The Nevada DMV Class C Permit Practice Test isn’t there to trick you; it’s there to check that you understand the everyday rules that keep traffic predictable and safe. Read the handbook with action in mind, run Nevada‑specific practice tests until the patterns feel familiar, and smooth out the small mistakes before they harden into bad habits.
