Drivers Permit Test Online
Unlicensed drivers under the age of 18 now have the option of taking
their Driver's Permit Test via the Internet. The flexibility and convenience of this
online option means you can skip the congestion, long lines, and waiting at your
local DHSMV office. Instead, you'll be able to relax and pass the test from the
comfort of your own home.
Here's How It Works
By DHSMV regulation, a parent must be present during the testing session. Before
you access the test, your parent will be asked to provide certain identifying
information and to certify statements that attest that they've monitored your test
session.
Each driver's permit test (Class E Knowledge Test) consists of 50 multiple-choice
subject matter questions (questions related to driving and traffic). Periodically
throughout the test, you will also be asked to respond to personal identity validation
questions. If you answer a personal identity validation question incorrectly (the
answer does not match the answer given to that question during your registration
process), you will be asked a different question; a second incorrect answer will
result in the termination of your testing session (a "failure" of the test). You
are allotted a total of 60 minutes to complete each attempt at the test.
You are required to correctly answer at least 40 (80%) of the subject matter
questions in order to pass the test.
You are allowed three opportunities to pass the test in the online format. If
you fail your first or second attempt at the test, you may attempt the test again,
but will be required to pay a DHSMV-assessed retesting fee of $20 for your second
and third attempts. If you fail your third attempt at an online test, you will
have to go to your local DHSMV or tax collector office where you must take a
paper-based version of the test; the online testing option will no longer be
available to you.
Your test scores are electronically reported to the DHSMV and, like your TLSAE
completion, will be available to DHSMV staff when you go to your local office to
get your permit.
The cost for the Driver’s Permit Test Online is
$24.95.
