    Free Connecticut DMV Permit Practice Test 2024

    This Connecticut DMV practice test has just been updated for December 2024 and covers 40 of the most essential road signs and rules questions directly from the official 2024 CT Driver Handbook. The Connecticut DMV written permit test contains 25 questions. To achieve the passing score of 80% necessary to get your learner’s permit, you must answer 20 questions correctly. The fee to take the knowledge test is $40, and if you pass, you will need to pay an additional $19 for your learner’s permit. If you fail the knowledge test, you will have to wait seven days and re-pay the $40 fee. Individuals under age 18 must have a guardian or parent’s permission to apply for a learner’s permit. Those who are under age 18 must also have their permits for at least 120 days before moving on with the licensing process, such as taking the road test, whereas those over 18 only need to wait for 90 days. The Connecticut DMV also asks that you schedule your appointment online for taking the knowledge test, using their website. If you need hearing interpreter services for taking your test, you must visit the office where your appointment is scheduled to arrange for them.
