You’re all geared up and fixin’ to head off to the Egg Bowl. However, without a Mississippi driver’s license, you’ll be singin’ the blues in the Delta instead. From the Gulf Coast to Southaven, Mississippi offers a wealth of cultural treasures. You don’t want to be left out of all the fun of catching some fish off Ship Island, eating delicious Southern favorites in neighborhood cafes, or touring historic plantation homes. Let’s get focused on getting you on the road to fun and adventure!

While you may have been driving in the fields since you could sit on your daddy’s lap, you’re going to need to prove you know the rules of the road. Mississippi requires you to answer 80% of the 30 questions correctly on a Mississippi driver’s license general knowledge test. Proceed with caution! Some of the questions on the knowledge test may be complex or worded in a way that is difficult to understand. Even with an Ole Miss education, you can’t just show up and expect to make a passing score. You’re going to need to study and prepare yourself for the questions that are going to make you rack your brain.
