ProAbout the Alaska DMV Test
Alaska's written knowledge test is one of the shortest in the country - just 20 multiple-choice questions - but the 80% passing requirement means you can only miss 4. The test is administered by the Alaska Division of Motor Vehicles and draws from the Alaska Driver Manual.
Where and How to Take It
You must take the test in person at an Alaska DMV office. Walk-ins are accepted, though appointments are available online and recommended, especially in Anchorage and Fairbanks where wait times can be significant. The test is computer-based.
What to Bring
Bring proof of identity (birth certificate or passport), your Social Security number, and proof of Alaska residency. If you're under 18, you'll need signed parental consent. The permit fee is $15, payable at the time of testing.
Test Day
After your documents are verified and the fee is paid, you'll be seated at a computer terminal. The 20 questions cover road signs, traffic rules, right-of-way, speed limits, DUI laws, and importantly, Alaska-specific driving challenges.
Alaska-Specific Topics
Alaska's test includes questions on winter driving safety, wildlife hazards (moose crossings are a real concern), and driving on rural unpaved roads. The state's unique conditions - extreme cold, limited daylight in winter, and vast distances between services - make these topics especially important.
If You Don't Pass
If you fail, you can retake the test the next business day. There's no limit on attempts, though you may need to pay the fee again for each retake.
Minimum Age and Permit Rules
Alaska issues instruction permits at age 14, among the youngest in the nation - reflecting the state's rural character where driving is often essential. Under-18 applicants must complete a driver education course. The permit must be held for at least 6 months before taking the road test, and supervised driving requires a licensed driver age 21+ in the front passenger seat.
