What the Georgia test looks like

Georgia’s test is one of the longer ones: only 7 jurisdictions ask more than 40 questions. You need 75% to pass, which means you can miss 10 questions and still get your permit. There is no time limit, so read every question twice.

There are two tests of 20 questions, one on road signs and one on road rules. You need 15 on each, so you can miss 5 on each.

The test is given by the DDS (Georgia Department of Driver Services). Its questions come from the official Georgia driver’s handbook, which is also where every DMV Champ question is checked.

The same format is used in Ohio.

What the Georgia handbook says

The Georgia Drivers’ Manual calls it the knowledge exam, so that is the phrase you’ll see at the counter and on the agency’s site. Passing it is how you get a class c instructional permit, which you can apply for from age 15 in Georgia. Road signs are tested as a section of their own, so don’t skim the signs chapter. If you fail, the rule on retaking is: the next day after a first failure; 7 days after a second or later failure.

35 topics in Georgia: the 34 every state tests, plus winter driving, because the Georgia handbook teaches it.

Pick Georgia once in the app and every simulated test uses these figures. Nothing is revealed mid-test, and each attempt is graded against the 30-correct passing score at the end. Retake a test as often as you like, reordered each time.

What you study

4 sections, 35 topics, every one on the Georgia test.

Signs and signals, road rules, safe driving and driving laws. The topics come from the AAMVA guidelines every state builds its test on, checked against the Georgia handbook. On Learn they’re cut into short practices of about ten questions, in seven steps from road signs to the laws, and every answer is explained the moment you check it.

Learn by answering

No chapters to read first. Every practice question carries its answer and the reasoning, so a wrong answer is how the next thing is taught.

Mistakes come back

A question you get wrong goes to your mistakes in Review and comes back until you get it right there. Once you’ve answered every question and corrected every mistake, you’ve finished the learning phase.

Your chance of passing

Take a simulated test in the Georgia format and see how likely you are to reach the 30-correct passing score. Your latest test counts the most.
