How the Georgia DMV written test works

Driver licensing in Georgia is handled by Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS). The knowledge test is a multiple-choice exam based on the official Georgia driver handbook. You take it after you submit an application, show identity documents and complete the other steps the agency requires, such as a vision screening.

Test length and the passing score are set by the state, and they can differ by applicant age and by test type. Rather than quote a number that may be out of date, we suggest you confirm both with Georgia DDS when you book, and treat 80 percent as a strong practice target.

Every quiz on this page is scored on that 80 percent standard, so you get a clear signal of whether you are ready or need another review pass. When you miss a question, read the explanation, find the rule in the official handbook and retake the quiz the next day.
