There may be occasions when an animal suddenly runs in front of your vehicle. Small animals such as rabbits, dogs, or cats seldom cause severe property damage to vehicles, but present a hazard if a motorist takes evasive action that results in losing control of the vehicle.

After each question, you will get feedback and brief explanations if your answer is wrong.
The practice test is specifically designed to help you pass the Nebraska written DMV exam, which means that answers are not always applicable to other state tests.
You should get a copy of the Nebraska Driver’s Manual to study for your written exam. If you are enrolled in an approved driver education, a copy is usually provided as part of your education. You can also get a copy from any Nebraska DMV service center or download a copy online at dmv.nebraska.gov .

The Nebraska Written Permit Test
Like this sample test, the actual written test has 25 random questions.
You need 20 correct answers to pass your examination (a passing score of 80%).
If you fail your test, you must wait at least one day before you can retake it.
There is no time limit on the written test, which means that you should take your time och carefully read questions and all choices before you answer. Being over-confident and answering too quickly is the most common reason people fail the test.
Is the Nebraska DMV Test Hard?
The Nebraska DMV test is known to be challenging. About half of all first-time test takers fail the exam, and we grade the difficulty level as hard.
Study the Driver’s Manual more than once, and if you take the test for a permit, don’t forget to learn the restrictions that will be placed on your permit.
As a teenager, you should also be aware of the risks you face as a new young driver, including impaired driving and using cell phones while driving. Contrary to popular belief, most teen crashes are not caused by aggressive driving or thrill-seeking. Instead, they are more often caused by errors associated with inexperience.
Nebraska Re-examination
When you renew your license or transfer an out-of-state license to a Nebraska Driver’s License, the knowledge test is usually waived at the discretion of DMV personnel.
However, DMV will ask for a new knowledge test in some situations. You will be notified ahead of such a test.
Use these practice tests to verify whether you are ready for a real test.
