Alaska Permit Test 2026

The Alaska permit test has 20 multiple-choice questions, based on the official Alaska driver handbook. Every practice question on this site is written to reflect that same format and content — not copied from the real Alaska DMV exam.

To pass, you need 16 correct answers (80%). That's the standard the Alaska DMV uses to score the written knowledge test.

The passing score is 16 correct answers (80%). If you don't pass, you can typically retest the next business day, and a retest fee applies.

Alaska DMV doesn’t publish one fixed cap on written-test attempts; expect to be able to retest the next business day, paying the exam fee again each time you’re not prepared enough to pass.

You’re eligible for an Alaska instruction permit as soon as you turn 14.

If you’re under 18, you’ll need a completed application (Form D1), a parental consent form (Form 433 for a standard permit or 433M for motorcycle), proof of your relationship to the signing parent or guardian (birth certificate, adoption, or guardianship documents), primary ID proving your legal name and date of birth, proof of your Alaska address, Social Security verification, and a passed vision test, plus the $15 fee. Only a natural parent, a spouse 18 or older, a legal guardian, or someone with notarized power of attorney can sign for a minor — step-parents and foster parents cannot.
