Everything You Need to Pass the Ohio BMV Knowledge Test
All 285 questions come from the Ohio Driver Manual (HSY 7607, revised October 2025), and each one cites the page its answer is on.
Exam Simulation
Take a timed 40-question simulation and pass it with 30 correct. That is the BMV's own format, printed on the first page of the Ohio Driver Manual.
Flexible Practice
Pick 10, 20 or 40 questions a session. A short set on the bus still counts.
Readiness Score
An adaptive gauge that follows your results and tells you when you're ready to sit the real test.
Topic Filtering
Drill any of the 12 topics. The Ohio manual gives vehicle equipment its own section, so tread depth, lights and studded-tire dates get their own topic here.
Missed Questions Review
Every question you miss is saved. Work through that list instead of rereading the whole manual from page one.

No account, no internet. Your data stays on your phone, so you can study anywhere.

Built for Ohio Drivers at Every Stage
A teen about to turn 15½, an adult going for a first license, or a temporary resident working through Ohio's driver education rule: Drive Prep OH covers the whole BMV knowledge test.
First-Time Test Takers
New to driving in Ohio? Work through all 285 questions across 12 topics. Fail in person and you can retest the next day, but online you get only two attempts in six months. Don't spend one on a guess.
Nervous Test Takers
Nerves get worse when you don't know if you're ready. The readiness score answers that. Practice until it says ready, then go.
Busy Schedules
Short on time? Run a quick 10-question set or a full 40-question exam. Ten minutes at lunch adds up over a week.
Multilingual Learners
The BMV gives the knowledge test in ten languages, and Drive Prep covers six of them besides English: Arabic, Chinese, French, Japanese, Russian and Spanish. German, Korean, Vietnamese and Polish are in the app too, with every Ohio question translated.

Common questions about Drive Prep OH
What is Drive Prep OH?
Drive Prep OH is the Ohio edition of the Drive Prep mobile app, for the Ohio BMV knowledge test (the permit test). It has 285 practice questions written from the Ohio Driver Manual (HSY 7607, revised October 2025), each citing the manual page, in 11 languages.
Does Drive Prep OH work offline?
Yes. Studying needs no internet connection and no account. The questions and your progress are stored on your device. Only the one-time purchase needs a connection.
How many questions does Drive Prep OH have?
285 practice questions across 12 topics, every one written from the Ohio Driver Manual and cited to its page. Ohio has one more topic than the North Carolina and California banks: vehicle equipment, which the manual covers in its own section.
Is the exam simulation the same as the real Ohio BMV test?
In format, yes. The Ohio Driver Manual states that the knowledge test is 40 multiple-choice questions with 75 percent needed to pass, and the simulation uses the same 40 questions and the same 30-correct pass mark. The questions themselves are practice questions written from the manual, not the BMV's own.
What languages is Drive Prep OH available in?
Eleven: English, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Vietnamese and Polish, with every Ohio question translated. Six of them besides English are languages the BMV gives the real test in: Arabic, Chinese, French, Japanese, Russian and Spanish. The BMV also tests in American Sign Language, Haitian Creole and Somali, which the app does not cover.
How much does Drive Prep OH cost?
Drive Prep is free to download and try: a sample of every topic, unlimited practice tests and one full exam simulation. Unlocking the full question bank is a one-time $4.99 purchase that covers every state the app supports, including ones added later. No subscriptions, no ads, no ad tracking. Your progress stays on your device.
What topics does Drive Prep OH cover?
All 12 topics in the Ohio Driver Manual's study sections: signs and signals, rules of the road, safe driving, alcohol and drugs, speed limits, parking, emergencies, sharing the road, licensing, insurance, the point system, and vehicle equipment. Practice sessions can be filtered by topic.
