Frequently Asked Questions
How many questions are on the Georgia DMV permit test?
The Georgia DDS Knowledge Exam has 40 questions total, split into two sections: a 20-question road signs test and a 20-question road rules test. Both sections are multiple-choice and are based on the official Georgia Driver's Manual published by the Department of Driver Services.
What score do I need to pass the Georgia knowledge exam?
You must answer at least 15 of 20 questions correctly on each section — a 75% pass mark. You have to pass both the road signs test and the road rules test. Passing one section but failing the other means you fail the overall knowledge exam and must retest.
How much does a Georgia instructional permit cost?
A Class CP instructional permit costs $10. To get one you must be at least 15 years old, pass a vision test, and pass the knowledge exam covering road signs and road rules. Fees are set by the Georgia Department of Driver Services and should be confirmed at dds.georgia.gov before your visit.
How old do I have to be to get a Georgia learner's permit?
You must be at least 15 years old to apply for a Class CP instructional permit in Georgia. While holding the permit you must always be accompanied by a licensed driver at least 21 years old who has a valid Class C license and is seated beside you.
What is the legal BAC limit for drivers in Georgia?
The per se blood alcohol concentration limit is 0.08% for drivers age 21 and older, 0.04% when operating a commercial motor vehicle, and 0.02% for drivers under 21. A driver may still be convicted below those levels if alcohol makes the person less safe to drive. Refusing a designated state chemical test can start a separate one-year administrative suspension process; the driver generally has 30 days to request a hearing or, if eligible, choose the ignition-interlock limited-permit route.
What is Joshua's Law in Georgia?
Joshua's Law requires teen drivers to complete an approved driver education course and supervised driving experience before obtaining a Class D license. It is part of Georgia's TADRA graduated licensing program, which also requires holding an instructional permit for at least one year and one day.
Is there a time limit on the Georgia knowledge exam?
Georgia DDS does not publish a fixed time limit for the noncommercial Knowledge Exam. The Road Signs and Road Rules sections are both currently offered in 26 languages. Applicants must be on the testing computer no later than 30 minutes before the Customer Service Center closes.
