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

Georgia's knowledge exam for the Class CP instructional permit has 40 questions and you need 30 correct, 75 %, according to the Department of Driver Services. A teen can take it from 15 years. The $10 permit fee is paid at each attempt, and after a failure you may come back 1 day (7 days after a second failure). The permit is then held 12 months with 40 hours of supervised driving, 6 at night, before the Class D provisional license at 16 years. Joshua's Law adds a driver education course for anyone who wants that license at 16 or 17, and an alcohol and drug awareness program is required of every teen. With the Class D license there is no driving from midnight to 5 a.m., with no exceptions, and the first six months allow only family as passengers. The practice test above uses the same 40 questions and the 30-answer mark.

If you fail: the wait and the fee

Georgia is one of the few states that charges the permit fee for every attempt. The mini-tool shows the retake rule of any state; it opens on Georgia.

The Class D year is built in three steps for passengers: first 6 months immediate family only; next 6 months one non-family passenger under 21; after 1 year up to three non-family passengers under 21. The night rule is the strictest in the region: no driving 12 midnight to 5 a.m., no exceptions.

What the Georgia exam stresses

Expect questions on Georgia's hands-free law, on moving over for stopped emergency and utility vehicles, on the "Super Speeder" fee for very high speeds, and on the consequences of alcohol for drivers under 21. The sign section follows the MUTCD: shapes first, then colors, then symbols. The DDS also offers the test in Spanish.

Questions new drivers ask

Does the Georgia permit test have two parts?

The DDS knowledge exam covers road rules and road signs, and the department scores them as two sections, so a weak result on signs is not hidden by a good one on rules. Our practice test mixes both; use "Road signs only" in the selector to drill the sign section on its own before a full 40-question run.

How much does it cost to fail the Georgia permit test?

Each attempt costs the $10 permit fee again. After a first failure you can retest the next day; after a second, you wait seven days. Taking a full-length practice test at home until you pass it comfortably is the cheapest way to avoid paying twice.

What is Joshua's Law?

Joshua's Law is the Georgia rule that a teen who wants a Class D license at 16 or 17 must complete an approved driver education course, 30 hours of theory and 6 hours behind the wheel with an instructor, or an approved parent-taught program. A teen who waits until 18 does not need it. The law is named after a teenager killed in a crash in 2003.
