The Arkansas permit test is the written knowledge exam required to earn a Arkansas learner's permit. Administered by the Arkansas DFA, it is based on the official Arkansas driver handbook.
The Arkansas DFA knowledge test has 25 questions covering traffic laws, road signs, and safe driving from the Arkansas Driver License Study Guide. You must answer at least 80% (20 of 25) correctly to pass, plus a vision test.
The learner's license must be held for at least 6 months before the road skills test for an intermediate license at 16.
In Arkansas, new drivers typically begin with a learner's permit, not required, and log no state minimum (always supervised) of supervised driving over a 6 months permit hold before earning a provisional license. The Arkansas DFA administers the knowledge test, permits, and driver's licenses statewide.
