In Tennessee, if you’re under 18 or have never held a driver’s license, you must obtain a learner’s permit to practice supervised driving before applying for a license. Requirements include being at least 15 years old, passing a vision test, and passing the written knowledge test.

If you’re under 18, your school must certify your enrollment or graduation, and your parent or guardian must submit a signed affidavit of consent. Under-18 applicants can take the knowledge test online with a parent or guardian proctoring. Otherwise, the test must be taken at a Driver Service Center (full service).

The Tennessee DMV written test has 30 questions based on sections B and C of the official Tennessee driver’s manual (Tennessee DMV Handbook (TN Driver’s Manual) 2026). To pass, you need at least 24 correct (80%).

This is our second Tennessee Permit Practice Test, current for May 2026 and based on the official driver’s manual. Each question has several answer options – choose the best or most complete one. Our AI Assistant can give hints, explanations, and answer your own driving questions. We also offer a Tennessee Permit Test Study Guide with document checklists, fees, and frequently missed questions.
