DMV Permit Test #1
FREE Georgia DMV Practice Test #1 Page 2 of 5
This set of Georgia DMV practise tests has been updated for January 2025. It offers questions based on the Georgia Driver Handbook's most significant traffic signs and legislation for 2025. Use actual questions that are very similar (often identical!) to the DMV driving permit test and driver's licence exam to study for the DMV driving permit test and driver's licence exam.
On the practise exam, each question gets a tip and explanation to help you remember the concepts. The written component of the official DMV test will include questions about traffic rules, traffic signs, and driving statutes, as well as information from the Driver Handbook.
To achieve the requisite passing grade, you must correctly answer 35 of the 50 questions. Take our DMV practise exam to help you prepare for your Georgia instruction permit or driver's licence.
The DMV exam is available in several languages.
Using any form of testing help will result in an automatic fail, and the DMV may take further action against your driver's licence, so avoid it.
