KY KSP Written Test Simulator – Study Online 2025

  • Perfect for learner’s permit, driver’s license, and senior refresher test.

With a driver’s license, you’ll be able to drive yourself to work in Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green, or even Cincinnati, Ohio. You can see the sights on Kentucky’s scenic byways or steep yourself in history via the Country Music Highway. Or go shopping at the Fayette Mall or the Mall St. Matthews. Or drive anywhere else you desire.

But what if you fail the knowledge test for a permit? Then, compared with the freedom of a driver’s license, you’ll be effectively grounded. You won’t even be able to practice driving under supervision. You’ll still have to depend on others to drive you around when they can.

You may be thinking, “It’ll be easy for me to pass the knowledge test. I’ll just read the official driver’s manual (Kentucky DMV Handbook (KY Driver's Manual) 2025) a couple of times before the exam.” A lot of other aspiring drivers thought so too. But in 2020 – 2023, about 30.4% – nearly one-third – of aspiring drivers failed the knowledge test.

To be sure of passing the knowledge test, you need to do more than just read the manual. That’s why we’ve provided you with various interactive test preparation materials to help you learn and memorize all the information you need to pass the knowledge test.

These tools include our audiobook version of the official manual, a series of increasingly challenging practice tests with questions based on the official manual, and an automated assistant with hints and explanations to help you answer the questions on these practice tests and speed up your learning process. We hope you’ve been using these tools to study hard and learn and memorize as much as you can. We guarantee that our approach will enable you to pass the knowledge test on your first attempt – or your money back.

Now it’s time to see if you’re truly ready to ace that knowledge test!

This Exam Simulator test operates in Simulated Exam Mode to closely resemble official exam conditions. The test consists of 40 questions based on the official manual, just like those on the official Kentucky KSP permit test. The passing score is 80%, just like the official permit test. There are no hints, no explanations, and no automated assistant to help you answer the test questions. You’re truly on your own, just like on the official test!

Do you tend to experience test anxiety when taking official tests? If so, you may even experience a little anxiety when taking this Exam Simulator test. That’s how realistic it is! By giving you a sample exam experience now, your fear of the unknown will be reduced, and your anxiety level may drop.

Good luck!
