About the Written Test

The Arkansas knowledge test is administered by the Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) and consists of 25 multiple-choice questions. You need at least 20 correct answers — an 80% passing score — to earn your learner's license.

Where and How to Take It

The test is taken in person at any DFA Revenue Office across Arkansas. Walk-ins are accepted at most locations, though wait times can vary. The test is computer-based. Arkansas has revenue offices in most counties, making access relatively convenient even in rural areas.

What to Bring

You'll need proof of identity (birth certificate or passport), your Social Security card, and proof of Arkansas residency. Under-18 applicants must bring parental consent. The instruction permit fee is $5 — among the lowest in the nation.

Test Day

After document verification and payment, you'll sit at a computer terminal for the 25-question test. Questions cover traffic signs, road rules, right-of-way, speed limits, and safe driving practices from the Arkansas Driver License Study Guide. There's no formal time limit, and results are displayed immediately.

Arkansas-Specific Details

Arkansas issues instruction permits starting at age 14, one of the youngest ages in the country. The state requires driver education for applicants under 18. Arkansas also has specific rules about school zone speed limits and rural road driving that appear frequently on the test.

If You Don't Pass

You can retake the test the next business day with no limit on attempts. The $5 fee keeps retakes affordable.

Permit vs. License

With a learner's license, you can drive supervised with a licensed driver 21+ in the front seat. Under-18 drivers must hold the permit for at least 6 months before taking the road test. Arkansas uses a graduated licensing system with nighttime and passenger restrictions for new drivers under 18.
