The Georgia permit test is the written knowledge exam required to earn a Georgia learner's permit. Administered by the Georgia DDS, it is based on the official Georgia driver handbook.
The Georgia DDS knowledge exam has two parts — a Road Signs test and a Road Rules test — each with 20 questions. You must answer at least 15 of 20 correctly on each part to pass. No appointment is required for the knowledge test.
You must also pass a vision test. The learner's permit is required before you begin behind-the-wheel training.
In Georgia, new drivers typically begin with a learner's permit at 15 years old, joshua's law — 30 hrs + btw or 40 hrs parent-taught, and log 40 hours (6 at night) of supervised driving over a 1 year and 1 day permit hold before earning a provisional license. The Georgia DDS administers the knowledge test, permits, and driver's licenses statewide.
