How it works

How the permit test works

Multiple choice, from your manual

Every real question comes from the handbook the state agency names, so practise from that source.

Pass marks differ

Among these states, Texas and New York accept 70% and California and Pennsylvania require 83%.

Road signs are often scored on their own

New York, Georgia, and North Carolina score them separately, so a strong overall score can still fail.

Retake rules differ too

How long you wait, and whether a retest costs money, depends on the state.

Questions, pass mark and misses

Filled bubbles are the answers you need, outlined ones the misses you can afford. Checked against each agency’s own site between September 24, 2026 and October 1, 2026; a dash means the agency doesn’t publish that number.

Yes. The first 20 questions of every state are free with no account and no signup, and each answer comes with an explanation and the handbook section it was written from. The full question bank for a state is a one-time unlock, not a subscription.

No. QuizCram questions are original, written from each state's official driver manual and never copied from a real exam or another practice site. The real questions change, but the rules and numbers they test come from the same manual.

It depends on the state. California: 8 of 46; Texas: 9 of 30; Florida: 10 of 50; New York: 6 of 20; Pennsylvania: 3 of 18; Ohio: 10 of 40; Georgia: 10 of 40; New Jersey: 10 of 50. The table above shows the pass mark for each.

In some states. Ohio lets you take the knowledge test online through BMV Online Services from age 15 and 6 months, with two online attempts per six months. Others offer an at-home or proctored option: New York, Michigan, Arizona, Tennessee, Minnesota, Colorado, Nevada, Hawaii, Vermont, and Kansas. Rules and ages differ, so check your state's page or its agency before you count on it.

Aim for 90% or better on two practice sets in a row before you book the real test. Practice questions are not the real ones, so a wide margin above the pass mark is the safest sign you are ready.
