The Idaho permit test is the written knowledge exam required to earn a Idaho learner's permit. Administered by the Idaho ITD, it is based on the official Idaho driver handbook.
The Idaho ITD knowledge test has 40 questions covering traffic laws, road signs, and safe driving from the Idaho Driver's Manual. You must answer at least 85% (34 of 40) correctly to pass, plus a vision test.
The Supervised Instruction Permit must be held for at least 6 months before the driving skills test for drivers under 17.
In Idaho, new drivers typically begin with a learner's permit at 14½ years old, required, and log 50 hours (10 at night) of supervised driving over a 6 months permit hold before earning a provisional license. The Idaho ITD administers the knowledge test, permits, and driver's licenses statewide.
