What is the passing score for the Alabama permit test? What happens if you fail the Alabama permit test?+
The passing score is 24 correct answers (80%). If you don't pass, you'll need to retest — ALEA driver license offices can advise on the exact wait and any retest fee at your location.
How many times can you take the Alabama permit test?+
ALEA does not publish a single statewide cap on attempts; practical wait times and any retest fee vary by driver license office, so confirm the current policy with your local ALEA office before your appointment.
What age do you need to be to get a learner's permit in Alabama?+
You must be at least 15 years old for a restricted Alabama learner license, or 16 if you don’t yet have the required driving instruction.
What do you need to take the Alabama permit test?+
You'll need proof of identity and Alabama residency, a Social Security number, and — if you're under 18 — a parent or guardian to sign your application. A vision screening is given alongside the written test, which costs $5 and is based on the Alabama Driver Manual, at your ALEA driver license office.
