FAQs

How many questions are on the Pennsylvania permit test?

The official PA written knowledge test consists of 18 multiple-choice questions. To pass, you must answer at least 15 questions correctly (an 83% passing score).

What happens if I fail the real test?

Don’t worry! If you do not pass on your first try, you simply have to wait until the next business day to retake the exam. Using our practice tests will greatly reduce your chances of having to retake it.

What do I need to bring to the PennDOT office?

You will need to bring proof of identity (like a birth certificate or passport), your Social Security card, proof of residence, and the applicable fee. If you are under 18, you must also bring a completed Parent or Guardian Consent Form (Form DL-180TD).

What to Know Before You Go

Getting your learner’s permit is an exciting milestone. In Pennsylvania, you must be at least 16 years old to apply. At the PennDOT office, you will need to pass a vision screening as well as the 18-question written knowledge test.

If you are under 18, you will enter Pennsylvania’s Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) program. Once you have your permit, you must log at least 65 hours of supervised driving practice—including 10 hours at night and 5 hours in bad weather—over a six-month period before you can take your road skills test for a Junior License.
