MISSISSIPPI STUDY GUIDE
What to study for Mississippi’s computerized exam
DPS says the computerized exam is based on the Driver’s License Manual, especially Mississippi traffic laws, safe-driving rules, and license requirements. The manual also says the exam checks your understanding of signs, signals, pedestrians, and vehicle safety. Read the complete current manual; DPS does not publish a complete public question bank.
Learn sign shapes and colors
Mississippi’s manual identifies the octagon for STOP, an equilateral triangle for YIELD, a pennant for a no-passing warning, a diamond for hazards, a pentagon for school crossings, and a round warning sign for a railroad crossing. It also explains the colors used for warnings, regulations, services, construction, and route guidance.
Review school-bus stopping
The 2025 manual directs drivers to stop at least 10 feet from a school bus displaying flashing red lights or an extended stop sign. It describes a divided-highway exception for opposite-direction traffic on roads with four or more lanes and at least two lanes in opposite directions. Check the full manual for the conditions and when it is safe to proceed.
Know permit supervision rules
DPS says a regular learner’s permit is available from age 15 and requires proof of school enrollment. A permit holder must be accompanied by a licensed driver age 21 or older in the adjacent seat. Check DPS for current eligibility documents and procedures.
Follow safe-driving distances
The manual’s following-distance guideline is at least one car length for every 10 mph, with more space behind a large truck or bus. It also says to use low beams within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle or when following another vehicle within 500 feet.
