Failing the Georgia DDS permit test means waiting 7 days, paying another fee, and explaining to everyone why you don’t have your license yet. About 35% of first-time test-takers don’t pass—often because they underestimate how specific the questions can be. The good news: the test is entirely learnable.

The Georgia DDS Knowledge Exam is unique: it is split into two separate sections—Road Rules (20 questions) and Road Signs (20 questions). You must score at least 75% (15 correct) on each section independently. Even if you get a perfect score on Road Signs, failing the Road Rules section means you fail the whole exam.

The questions cover traffic laws, road signs, and safe driving practices from the 2025 GA Driver’s Manual. The questions that trip people up most often involve right-of-way at intersections, school zone rules, the “Slowpoke Law,” and blood alcohol limits.

This free Georgia DDS practice test is updated for December 2025 and includes the exact question types you’ll see on the real exam. Each wrong answer shows you why it’s wrong—so you learn, not just memorize. In Georgia, what most people call the “DMV” is officially the DDS (Department of Driver Services).

Right-Of-Way At Intersections

By far the best practice for studying for a permit.
I really love these practice tests and the fact that it tracks your progress and also you can have audio being read to you and you can follow along with the handbook as it is being read to you. I recommend this to anyone who is looking to getting their permit or anyone who needs a refresher. Plus it is tailored to the state you live in. It has helped me study big time. Highly highly highly recommend.

About the Georgia learner permit

Here’s exactly how to get your permit:

If you’re 15-17:

The Class CP Instructional Permit is the first step of Georgia’s Graduated Driver’s License (GDL) program under TADRA (Teenage and Adult Driver Responsibility Act). Once you pass the vision screening and knowledge test, you can drive while supervised by a licensed adult (21+) in the front seat. Note that Georgia enforces “No Pass, No Drive”—if you drop out or have excessive unexcused absences, your permit can be suspended.

Under Joshua’s Law, you must complete an approved driver education course. After holding your permit for at least one year and one day, completing 40 hours of supervised driving (using the official Parent/Teen Driving Guide), and passing a road skills test, you’ll get your Class D Provisional License. This comes with a curfew (no driving midnight–5 a.m.) and passenger limits until you turn 18.

If you’re 18+:

You still start with the Class CP Instructional Permit, but you skip the Provisional License phase. Once you pass the road skills test, you get your unrestricted Class C license immediately.

What to bring to the DDS:

Download the “DDS 2 GO” app to reduce wait times. Bring proof of identity (Secure ID documents like a birth certificate or passport), Social Security card, and two proofs of Georgia residency. If under 18: Certificate of School Enrollment (Form DS-1), your ADAP or eADAP certificate of completion, and a parent/guardian to sign your application.

Pro Tip: Remember Georgia’s “Wipers On, Lights On” rule—if your wipers are on for rain, your headlights must be on too. This is a common test question!

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