To obtain your Florida learner’s permit, you must pass a vision screening and the Class E Knowledge Exam. The permit test consists of 50 multiple-choice questions covering road signs, traffic laws, and safe driving practices, as outlined in the official 2025 FL Driver Handbook. To pass, you must answer at least 40 questions correctly (80%). Common areas where test-takers struggle include right-of-way rules, similar-looking traffic signs, and safe following distances. Our free Florida DMV permit practice test is updated for November 2025 and mirrors the actual exam format to help you pass on your first attempt. In Florida, what most people call the “DMV” is officially the FLHSMV (Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles). The learner’s permit is the first phase of Florida’s Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) program for drivers under 18. You can apply at age 15 after completing the Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education (TLSAE) course and passing the permit test. With your permit, you must be accompanied by a licensed driver who is at least 21 years old and occupies the front passenger seat. After holding your permit for at least 12 months and logging 50 hours of supervised driving (including 10 at night), you can take the road skills test at age 16 to obtain a provisional license. The provisional license restricts driving between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. for the first year (with exceptions for work or school). Once you turn 18, the restrictions are lifted and you’re eligible for a full Class E license. If you’re 18 or older, you can skip the learner’s permit phase entirely.

I really owe it to this site!
Everything went great! I came in feeling a little nervous, and I came out feeling achieved! I really owe it to this site for helping me prepare for the written exam, and I will definitely recommend this to anyone that hasn’t got there license yet, and are looking into getting theirs; I doubt I would’ve gained the confidence I needed to push myself into doing the exam without this site!

I would definitely recommend.
The questions were pretty accurate when I took the test. There was actually only one that I had never seen before. Other than that, it was on point, and I would definitely recommend Driving-Tests to others. I had a lot of anxiety about going to the DMV and taking the test.

About the Florida learner permit

After completing the TLSAE course (if this is your first license), you can take both the knowledge test and road skills test in the same visit to obtain your full license. To apply for your permit, visit the FLHSMV with proof of identity (birth certificate, passport), your Social Security card, two proofs of Florida residency (utility bill, bank statement), and proof of completion of the TLSAE course. If you’re under 18, a parent or guardian must sign your application. Submit the documents, pass the vision screening, pay the fee, and take the official written test.

We know what it takes to pass. And we’ve got the proof.
