How the Illinois Secretary of State written test works
The Illinois Secretary of State written knowledge test consists of 15 multiple-choice questions drawn from the Illinois driver handbook. To pass the Illinois exam, you need at least 12 correct answers - a 80% passing score. The Illinois test covers road signs, traffic laws, right-of-way rules, and safe driving practices specific to Illinois.
The Illinois Secretary of State accepts walk-ins for the written test, though wait times vary by location and time of day.
In Illinois, the written test is offered in 10 languages: English, Spanish, Polish, Chinese, Korean (+5).
If you don't pass: You may retake the exam a second time the same day during normal business hours, unless you showed a danger to public safety on the first attempt (non-Visa TVDL applicants also need the facility manager to have staff and time). A third road-test attempt cannot be on the same day as the failed second one. Your application fee covers 3 attempts at each exam within 1 year of the first attempt, so a 4th needs a new application and fee; Illinois publishes no separate retest fee amount. Fail the road test 6 times and you must submit a favorable medical report before a 7th. CLP and CDL applicants are barred 30 days after 3 failures, 90 days after 6, and 1 year after 9.
