How the Pennsylvania PennDOT written test works
The Pennsylvania PennDOT written knowledge test consists of 50 multiple-choice questions drawn from the Pennsylvania driver handbook. To pass the Pennsylvania exam, you need at least 40 correct answers - a 80% passing score. The Pennsylvania test covers road signs, traffic laws, right-of-way rules, and safe driving practices specific to Pennsylvania.
The Pennsylvania PennDOT accepts walk-ins for the written test, though wait times vary by location and time of day.
In Pennsylvania, the written test is offered in 30 languages: Albanian, Amharic, Arabic, Bosnian, Burmese (+25).
If you don't pass: If you fail the knowledge test you can retake it the following business day. PennDOT publishes no limit on knowledge-test attempts and charges no separate test or retest fee: testing is covered by your permit or license application fee. Road-test retakes are limited to 3 per learner's permit, with a 1-day wait if you are 18 or older and a 7-day wait if you are under 18. After 3 failed road tests, or if your permit expires, you must file a DL-31 permit extension for $6.00.
