Florida Driving Theory Test FAQ

How many questions are on the Florida permit test?

50 questions on Florida's Class E Knowledge Exam, and you need 80% correct to pass.

What score do I need to pass?

80% correct — one of the higher passing thresholds among U.S. states.

How much does it cost?

$48 for an initial license or learner's license. A replacement license or ID card is $25.

What documents do I need to bring?

Primary identification, proof of Social Security number, two proofs of residential address, and proof of a completed TLSAE course.

What happens if I don't pass?

There's no cap on attempts in the handbook — each written re-test costs just $10, well below the $48 original fee.

Can I take the test or apply online?

Original and learner's license applications must be done in person, but eligible renewals can be completed online at MyDMVPortal.flhsmv.gov.

What's the minimum age to get a learner's license?

15 years old, after completing a TLSAE course.

What is the "Class E Knowledge Exam"? Is it the same as the permit test?

Yes — it's Florida's own official name for the written knowledge test, not a different or additional exam.

Do I need to complete a course before I can apply?

Yes — a Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education (TLSAE) course is required before Florida issues a learner's license.

Is this practice test free, and is it the official FLHSMV test?

It's completely free with no sign-up required, but it's an independent study tool, not the official Class E Knowledge Exam or affiliated with FLHSMV.
