Free Georgia permit practice tests

Georgia never produces a single combined knowledge test score: the Road Signs and Road Rules sections are graded separately, so a perfect score on one section still fails an applicant who falls even one question short of 15 out of 20 on the other.

Every Georgia 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 Georgia

What the process looks like

  • Applicants must be at least 15 years old to apply for a Class D learner's permit, and must hold it for 12 months and one day before applying for a license.
  • Teens need 40 hours of supervised driving, including 6 hours at night, certified by a parent, guardian, or driving instructor.
  • The Road Rules and Road Signs sections of the knowledge exam are scored separately, and both must reach 15 out of 20 correct for the applicant to pass overall.
  • A minimum of 30 hours of driver education classroom instruction, taken in person or online, is also required before licensing.

The learner's permit fee covers the knowledge exam, and DDS takes cash or a credit or debit card only, with no checks, money orders, or refunds.

After a first failed attempt, wait one day before retesting. After a second failure, wait seven days. Every retest needs an appointment and payment of the permit fee again.

The knowledge test is written from the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Title 40, Motor Vehicles and Traffic. 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.
