Both of these sections consist of multiple choice questions.
The first part of the Indiana permit test contains 34 questions, you can only miss 8. The second part of the BMV exam has 16 questions on traffic signs and you can only miss two of these questions.

The book explains what your options are when applying for a license and it also covers the rules of the road along with the traffic signs. If you put enough time into reading the book, you are guaranteed to pass your permit test.
If you think that the book is not a good option for your or you are applying for a drivers education learners permit, you may sign up for one of the state-approved Indiana driver education classes. In addition to preparing you for your driver permit test, it can also provide you with a waiver for your drivers test. Drivers ed classes usually contain much more information than the drivers handbook does, they don't come cheap and you will have to spend quite a bit of time on completing the course, but the results are usually worth it.
Finally, there is also the Indiana practice permit test. Although it won't teach you everything you need to know for your learners permit test, it allow you to see where you stand at the moment and whether you should spend some extra time on specific chapters of the drivers handbook. You can usually find some free permit practice tests or you can purchase a test package from one of the commercial driving schools.
