Iowa Licensing at a Glance

Iowa issues a learner permit at 14 and a license at 17 after driver ed and supervised hours. The 35-question test and road test are required.

What Makes Iowa Different

Iowa's manual highlights rural intersection safety, farm-equipment sharing, and winter black-ice across its agricultural network.

The Written Test on This Page

Our 25 practice questions follow the topics in the official Iowa driver handbook: road signs, right-of-way, speed limits, work zones, and sharing the road with cyclists, pedestrians, and large trucks. Drill them, then read every explanation to learn the rule, not just the answer.

Iowa Test-Day Tip

Safe Habits for IA

Preparing for the IA Exam

Drill farm-equipment sharing and rural intersection safety, the most-tested Iowa topics, then review winter black-ice before the 35-question exam.

On the Day in IA

Slow on black-ice bridge spans, yield at unmarked county crosses, and take the full time; the road test confirms the same habits.

After You Pass in IA

After the written pass, finish driver ed and book the road test; Iowa re-checks farm and black-ice habits on the road.

Log the supervised hours and keep the permit for every practice drive until the card comes.
