Study by Category

Master each topic before your Georgia written test. 4 categories are free to start.

Shape and color carry the meaning before you can read the words: an octagon is always stop, a yellow diamond always warns. Covers regulatory, warning, guide and work-zone signs, including the ones with no text at all.

Speed limits, parking and the everyday rules that carry points when broken. Covers the basic speed law, why a posted limit is a maximum rather than a target, and where you may never stop or park.

Signals, flashing lights, and the arrows that override them. Covers what a yellow light actually requires of you, when a red arrow forbids a turn a red ball would allow, and who has control when the lights go dark.

The paperwork side of driving legally. Covers licensing and insurance requirements, what to carry in the vehicle, and the steps to take after a collision.

About the Georgia DMV Test

Georgia's written knowledge test is administered by the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) and is required for anyone applying for a learner's permit or first driver's license. The test has 40 multiple-choice questions drawn from the Georgia DDS Driver's Manual, and you need at least 30 correct answers (75%) to pass.

Where and How to Take It

In-person at any Georgia DDS Customer Service Center. Walk-ins are generally accepted, though booking ahead can shorten your wait. The written test is available in 26 languages, including English, Albanian, Amharic, Arabic.

What to Bring

Plan to bring the documents the DDS requires: Proof of identity (birth certificate or passport); Social Security card; 2 proofs of Georgia residency; Parental consent (if under 18); Proof of school enrollment (if under 18). The knowledge test is part of a permit fee of about $10.

On Test Day

It is split into two sections: 20 Road Rules and 20 Road Signs. Your results are shown immediately on screen, broken out by section.

If You Don't Pass

If you fail, you must wait 1 day before retaking the test. After a 2nd failure the wait is 7 days. The test fee is forfeited when you fail.

Minimum Age and Eligibility

You must be at least 15 years old to take the Georgia knowledge test. Applicants under 18 must complete Joshua's Law requirements: 30 hours classroom and 6 hours behind-the-wheel instruction (16-year-olds), or 40 hours supervised driving.

After You Pass

Instructional permit (Class CP) allows supervised driving with a licensed adult 21+ in front seat. You must hold for 12 months and 1 day. Class D license at 16 with restrictions.

Frequently Asked Questions

The test has 40 questions in two sections: 20 Road Rules and 20 Road Signs. You need 75%, which is 15 correct, on each section. Each section is graded on its own, and results are shown per section on screen right after you finish. It is computer-based at a DDS Customer Service Center, and a time limit is not published.
No. Georgia DDS accepts walk-ins for the knowledge test, so no appointment is needed. You take it in person at any DDS Customer Service Center. Georgia does not offer the knowledge test online, so a trip to a center is required.
For non-commercial tests, you wait 1 day after the first failure and 7 days after the second. DDS lists this wait for the Knowledge Exam or Road Skills Test. A road skills failure caused by an accident or traffic violation carries a 30-day wait. CDL tests have a separate flat 2-day wait. DDS does not publish a cap on attempts.
Georgia's listed test fee is $10. If you fail, the fee is forfeited, so each retake means paying $10 again. DDS does not publish a cap on attempts. Our data does not say whether the $10 also covers permit issuance, so confirm the total with DDS before you go.
Bring proof of identity (birth certificate or passport), your Social Security card, and 2 proofs of Georgia residency. Applicants under 18 also need parental consent and proof of school enrollment. Georgia asks for two separate residency documents, not one.
Yes. DDS lists at least 26 test languages, including English. Others include Spanish, Arabic, Amharic, Burmese, Haitian Creole, Hindi, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), Swahili, Vietnamese and Yoruba. Check the DDS language list for the specific one you need before test day, since it can change.
Georgia drivers under 18 must meet Joshua's Law requirements: 30 hours of classroom plus 6 hours of behind-the-wheel instruction for 16-year-olds, or 40 hours of supervised driving. The minimum age is 15. A Class CP permit allows driving with a licensed adult 21 or older in front. Hold it 12 months and 1 day for a Class D license.
Both sections draw from the Georgia DDS Driver's Manual, 2023-2024 edition (revised June 2023). Road Rules covers traffic laws, right-of-way, speed limits, DUI laws, and safe driving. Road Signs covers recognizing regulatory, warning, and guide signs. Results are shown per section, so study both parts of the manual.
Passing the written test earns your learner permit. From there you build supervised driving hours, and the last step is the Georgia road test, the behind-the-wheel exam. See the full Georgia road test guide for requirements, what to bring, and scoring.
