Once you get a Wisconsin driver’s license, you’ll be able to drive yourself around Wisconsin for a change. But first, you must pass the vision, highway signs, and knowledge tests to be eligible for an instruction permit. If you fail, you won’t even be able to practice supervised driving. Unfortunately, failure happens more often than you might think. For example, in Wisconsin in 2016, 28% of applicants who took the knowledge test failed it.
Some aspiring drivers must have thought that to pass the permit test, all they had to do was read the official driver’s manual (Wisconsin DMV Handbook (WI Driver's Manual) 2025) a few times shortly before the exam. But some of them undoubtedly ended up part of that 28.3%. Don’t be one of them!
We’ve always known that failing the permit test is a real possibility without adequate test preparation. (Therefore, we created a knowledge test preparation program with a variety of interactive test preparation resources to improve your understanding and retention of all the information you need to pass the knowledge test.
