Every Kansas 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 Kansas

What the process looks like

  • Kansas offers a Farm Permit as early as age 14 for teens who live or work on a qualifying farm, ahead of the standard licensing track.
  • A regular Instructional Permit needs a passed vision and written test and expires after one year.
  • A Restricted License follows: 15-year-olds need 25 hours of supervised driving plus driver's education, 16-year-olds need 50 hours with 10 at night, and the license carries a roughly 5am-to-9pm driving window and passenger limits until it has been held six months.
  • An Unrestricted License opens up at 17, or earlier once the restricted period's age-based limits fall away, provided the driver has logged 50 supervised hours with 10 at night if still under 18.

The knowledge exam can be taken at any driver's license office or online through the state's KnowTo Drive site, where a passing result is brought in to the office instead of sitting the test there.

A failed written test can be retaken the next working day for a $1.50 re-exam fee. You get four attempts total; after a fourth failure, Kansas makes you wait a minimum of six months before trying again.

The knowledge test is written from the Uniform Act Regulating Traffic on Highways. 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.
