Kansas DMV Examen de práctica 2026

Kansas's written knowledge test is one of the shorter state exams — just 25 multiple-choice questions with a required passing score of 80% (20 correct). The test is administered by the Kansas Department of Revenue's Division of Vehicles and covers road signs, traffic laws, and safe driving practices from the Kansas Driving Handbook.

Where and How to Take It

Kansas offers two ways to take the knowledge test. You can visit any Division of Vehicles office in person, where tests are computer-based with walk-in availability. Or you can use KnowTo Drive (knowtodrive.ks.gov), Kansas's official online testing platform, which lets you take the test from anywhere at any time. Online tests have a 60-minute time limit and cost $6.50 per attempt.

What to Bring

For in-person testing, bring proof of identity (birth certificate or passport), your Social Security number, and proof of Kansas residency. If you're under 16, parental consent is required. The instruction permit costs $10.

Test Day

The 25-question test covers road rules, highway signs, traffic signals, pavement markings, and safe driving practices. At just 25 questions, each one carries significant weight — you can only miss 5. The test draws from the Kansas Driving Handbook (Form DE-9), which is available free online or at any DOR office.

If You Don't Pass

If you fail, you can retake the test the next day. However, after 4 failures within 6 months, you must wait 6 months from your last failed attempt before trying again. This applies to both in-person and online testing.

Kansas-Specific Details

Kansas issues instruction permits at age 14, reflecting the state's rural character. The state has a structured Graduated Driver's Licensing program: instruction permit at 14, restricted license at 15 (after 1 year with permit), and full unrestricted license at 17. Kansas requires driver education for all teen applicants.

Permit vs. License

After passing, you receive an instruction permit that must be held for at least 1 year. During this time, you must complete driver education and log 50 hours of supervised driving (10 at night). At age 15, you can apply for a restricted license that allows driving to school, work, and other specified activities. Full unrestricted licensing comes at age 17.
