The Kansas permit test is the written knowledge exam required to earn a Kansas learner's permit. Administered by the Kansas DOV, it is based on the official Kansas driver handbook.
The Kansas DOV knowledge test has 25 questions covering traffic laws, road signs, and safe driving from the Kansas Driver Handbook. You must answer at least 80% (20 of 25) correctly to pass, plus a vision test.
The instruction permit must be held until you complete driver education and the required supervised driving for a restricted license at 15.
In Kansas, new drivers typically begin with a learner's permit at 14 years old, required to license at 15, and log 50 hours (10 at night) of supervised driving before earning a provisional license. The Kansas DOV administers the knowledge test, permits, and driver's licenses statewide.
