Every Arizona test

Work through them in order.

The essentials

Start here. Five distinct sets drawn from across the whole bank, plus a marathon that keeps going until you have seen everything.

Signs, signals and right of way

The two areas that fail the most people. Work through the sign tests until every shape and color is automatic, then handle the intersection scenarios.

The rules that get you fined

Speed, alcohol, phones, seat belts and the state specific limits that carry real penalties. These questions cite the statute so you learn the rule, not just the answer.

The exam simulator

The real thing: your state's exact question count and pass mark, scored the way the licensing agency scores it.

Your missed questions

Every question you get wrong anywhere on this site saves to a review deck on your own device. It comes back after a day, then three days, then a week, and retires once you have answered it correctly three times running. Open any test above and the review button appears as soon as the deck has something in it.

Getting licensed in Arizona

What the process looks like

  • You can apply for an instruction permit at 15 years and 6 months, and the permit stays valid for 12 months.
  • The permit must be held for six months, or until you turn 18, before you are eligible for a Class G driver license. That six month clock only starts once the permit has been issued in an office.
  • Before the driving test, a parent or guardian must certify at least 30 hours of supervised practice with at least 10 of them at night, or 20 hours with 6 at night if the applicant completed a certified driver education or defensive driving school program.
  • A teenager under 18 can take the whole written test at home, proctored by a parent or legal guardian through their AZ MVD Now account, or through a participating Arizona professional driving school.
  • Passing the test online still means one office visit afterwards, for the vision check, the photo, and a parent or guardian signature on the application. A notarized application substitutes if they cannot attend.
  • Anyone who has never held a US driver license has to pass the permit test before a road test can be booked, whatever their age.

Permit Test at Home, proctored through a parent or legal guardian's AZ MVD Now account, carries a $7 application fee. Testing inside an office is done on a touch screen computer, with an audio version available.

Study the Arizona Driver Manual and work through the MVD's own online practice tests before you book; the agency points every applicant at both.

The knowledge test is written from the Arizona Revised Statutes Title 28, Transportation. Our questions teach those same rules and cite the section behind each answer, so what you learn holds up on test day and on the road afterwards.

How many questions are on the Arizona permit test?

30 multiple choice questions. Verified on 27 August 2026 against the Arizona MVD permit test page, which states the written test length directly.

What score do you need to pass the Arizona permit test?

80% or higher, which is 24 of the 30 questions. Arizona's administrative rules back this up: R17-4-501 defines successful completion of an examination as a score of at least 80% on any required test.

Can you take the Arizona permit test without going to an MVD office?

Yes. Anyone under 18 can sit it at home, proctored by a parent or legal guardian through their AZ MVD Now account, or through a participating Arizona professional driving school. You still visit an office afterwards for the vision test and photo.

The at-home option carries a $7 application fee. Testing inside an office needs no appointment, on a touch screen computer, with an audio version for anyone who wants it.

How old do you have to be to get a permit in Arizona?
