The knowledge exam is two separate 20-question tests, Road Signs and Road Rules, and you must score at least 15 out of 20 on each (75 percent); passing one part does not make up for failing the other. It is given walk-in (no appointment) at DDS Customer Service Centers in 26 languages, including Spanish, and you must start at least 30 minutes before closing. If you fail, wait 1 day to retest; after a second failure, wait 7 days. Each attempt requires the $10 permit fee.

Tip: Start with module 1, “Georgia laws & permit rules”. These 12 questions cover rules that are specific to Georgia, the part of the test that general study guides usually miss.

How to get your Georgia learner's permit

Before your visit, submit the online License/ID/Permit Form through DDS Online Services; it stays on file for 60 days.
Gather documents: proof of identity, your full Social Security number, and two proofs of Georgia residency from different sources.
If you are under 18, bring proof of school enrollment (a notarized Certificate of School Enrollment form, transcript, report card or school ID).
Bring a parent, guardian or responsible adult to sign the form; that person can ask DDS to revoke your permit until you turn 18.
At a DDS Customer Service Center, pass the vision exam, then the Road Signs and Road Rules tests (no appointment needed).
Have your photo taken and pay the $10 permit fee to receive your Class CP permit.

Take the timed Georgia exam simulation and review every mistake before your appointment.

Frequently asked questions

Do 17-year-olds in Georgia still have to complete Joshua's Law?

Yes. Since July 1, 2021, 17-year-olds applying for a Class D license must meet the same driver education requirements as 16-year-olds. The only exception is a 17-year-old enlisted in the military, who can get a Class C license with form DS-517.

Do I need a written log of my 40 practice hours?

No. Georgia does not require a driving log, but a parent or guardian must come with you when you apply for the license and attest that you completed the training.

Can I take the Georgia permit test in Spanish?

Yes. The Road Rules and Road Signs tests are offered in 26 languages, including Spanish. The road skills test is given in English only.

What is ADAP and when do I need it?

ADAP is Georgia's Alcohol and Drug Awareness Program. Teens need the completion certificate for a Class D license (and for a motorcycle permit or license if under 18). It is taught in most schools and is also available online as eADAP.

Are these the real DMV test questions?

No. The Georgia Department of Driver Services does not publish its exam. Our Georgia module is written from the official handbook and state law, and the core modules cover the rules of the road taught in every state handbook.

Is this practice test free?

Yes. Every lesson, practice round and exam simulation is free, with no sign-up.
