Texas permit test at a glance
The Texas knowledge test is a multiple-choice exam about traffic laws, road signs and safe driving. You need about 70% to pass. Most applicants also take a vision screening on the same visit.
You need 70% or better on any knowledge exam. You can take the test during driver education or at a DPS office, and you must hold the learner license for 6 months.
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.
