Start Free Alaska Permit Practice TestWhat Is the Alaska Permit Test?
The Alaska permit test is the written knowledge exam required to earn a Alaska learner's permit. Administered by the Alaska DMV, it is based on the official Alaska driver handbook.
The Alaska DMV knowledge test has 20 questions covering traffic laws, road signs, and safe driving from the Alaska Driver Manual. You must answer at least 80% (16 of 20) correctly to pass, plus a vision test.
The instruction permit must be held for at least 6 months before the road test for a provisional license at 16.
In Alaska, new drivers typically begin with a learner's permit at 14 years old, optional, and log 40 hours (10 at night/inclement) of supervised driving over a 6 months permit hold before earning a provisional license. The Alaska DMV administers the knowledge test, permits, and driver's licenses statewide.
