Pennsylvania permit test at a glance
The Pennsylvania knowledge test has 18 multiple-choice questions about traffic laws, road signs and safe driving. You need at least 15 correct answers (83%) to pass. Most applicants also take a vision screening on the same visit.
If you fail, you can retake the test the next business day.
Tip: Finish all 8 learning modules, then take the exam simulation until you score 90%+ three times in a row. That gives you a safe margin on test day.
