Are you a Kansas resident pursuing your first driver’s license, or a senior citizen who needs to take a refresher test to continue driving? Successful preparation begins with maintaining a safety-first mindset. Kansas is recognized as having a top-ten position in highway safety. Make no mistake, the way to safe driving is not a paved yellow brick road, and you are going to need to develop solid driving skills to obtain your driver’s license. There are many resources for you to choose from in planning your test preparation. Study guides may seem to be a great option, but they focus on you retaining the correct answer for only enough time to pass your official test. You’re going to need a resource to adequately prepare you to anticipate the difficult questions and answer them confidently.

In order to pass your official Kansas driver’s license knowledge test, you will need to answer 80% of the 25 questions correctly. Careful analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of your driving skills should be considered in preparing yourself to obtain your best score. If you are going to drive on some of the safest highways in the nation, you’ll need to show you belong behind the wheel on them.

About the Kansas learner permit

Our free Kansas DMV Diagnostic practice test is a valuable study aid. The practice test is based on the most recent Driving Handbook (Kansas DMV Handbook (KS Driver's Manual) 2025) and is up to date as of December 2025. The practice test contains 8 of the most commonly missed questions on the official test. It is a more effective study method because you are provided feedback on questions you answer incorrectly. Detailed explanations of the correct answers are provided for you to review and clearly understand what you need to improve. Going a step beyond memorizing, you can actively practice applying the information to improve your score and increase your chance of passing on the first attempt.

Your path to safe driving does not need to resemble the Kansas motto, “To the stars with difficulties.” You can find a wealth of information and practice tests across the United States at https://driving-tests.org/academy/drivers-license.
