Practice questions written from the state handbook and federal rules. Not the official test.

Florida's Class E knowledge exam has 50 multiple-choice questions on traffic laws and road signs, and you need 40 correct answers, 80 %, to pass, according to the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. A teen can sit it from 15 years, after a driver education course and with a parent's notarized consent, and receives a learner's license. That license must be held 12 months with no moving violation before the intermediate license at 16 years, and a parent must certify 50 hours of driving, 10 of them at night. In the first three months the learner may drive only in daylight, then until 10 p.m. Once licensed, a 16-year-old may not drive from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. and a 17-year-old from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m., unless with a licensed adult of 21 or more or going to work. The full practice test above has the real length and the real mark: 10 mistakes allowed.

The learner year in Florida

Florida's learner stage is longer than most: 12 months, against 12 months next door in Georgia. During it the learner drives with a licensed driver of 21 or more in the front seat. The night limits change during the year:

Florida night rules for drivers under 18.
PeriodWhen the learner or new driver may drive
First 3 months of the learner's licensedaylight only
Rest of the learner yearuntil 10 p.m.
Intermediate license at 16not from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m., unless with a licensed driver 21+ or to or from work
Intermediate license at 17not from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m., same exceptions

The 50 hours, counted

A parent, guardian or responsible adult certifies the 50 hours when the teen applies for the intermediate license. Enter the hours already logged to see what is left:

Before the exam

A teen first completes a traffic law and substance abuse education course, required for every first-time Florida driver. The exam itself has two kinds of questions, on road rules and on signs; many applicants lose points on signs they think they know, such as the pentagon of a school zone or the round yellow railroad warning. Use "Road signs only" in the test selector, then a full 50-question test. Florida's zero-tolerance rule sets the limit at 0.02 for drivers under 21.

Fees

The original Class E license costs $48 under Florida statute; county tax collector offices that issue licenses may add a service fee. The learner's license fee is not separately stated on the pages we could read, so the date calculator shows it as not confirmed. The figures on this page come from FLHSMV and the Florida Statutes; this site is independent of FLHSMV.

Questions new drivers ask

How many questions can I miss on the Florida permit test?

10. The Class E knowledge exam has 50 questions and requires 40 correct answers. The score panel of the practice test counts down the mistakes you still have, so you can feel how narrow ten errors become on the last questions. FLHSMV describes the computer exam as timed at 60 minutes.

Why must a Florida learner wait a full year?

Florida requires the learner's license to be held for 12 months, or until age 18, with no traffic conviction, before the intermediate license. A moving violation during that year resets the count. The <a href="/en/permit-age-calculator/">date calculator</a> shows the result for your date of birth, using the later of the 12 months and the age of 16 years.

Can I take the Florida knowledge exam online?

Applicants under 18 can take the Class E knowledge exam online through an approved third-party provider; the result is sent to FLHSMV and the learner's license is then issued at a driver license office or tax collector office. Adults take it in person. The vision and hearing test is always done in person.

Is the Florida permit test offered in Spanish?

The FLHSMV pages disagree: an English page says the Class E exam is in English only, while its Spanish page lists several languages, Spanish among them. We show the point as not confirmed and suggest asking the office where you will test. Our practice test exists in Spanish in any case.
