Arkansas Permit Test 2026

The Arkansas permit test has 25 multiple-choice questions, based on the official Arkansas driver handbook. Every practice question on this site is written to reflect that same format and content — not copied from the real Arkansas DMV exam.

To pass, you need 20 correct answers (80%). That's the standard the Arkansas OMV uses to score the written knowledge test.

The passing score is 20 correct answers (80%). If you don't pass, you must wait 5 calendar days before retesting, and you get 3 attempts to pass within 90 days of applying.

Arkansas requires a 5-calendar-day waiting period between attempts, not counting the day you failed. You get 3 attempts to pass within 90 days of submitting your application; if you fail all three or run out the 90 days, you’ll need to start the application over. The knowledge test fee is $5.

You must be at least 14 years old to apply for an Arkansas instruction permit.

You need to pass a vision screening along with the written knowledge test, and bring proof of identity and Arkansas residency. Applicants under 18 need a parent or legal guardian to sign the application.
