Indiana Permit Test 2026

The Indiana permit test has 50 questions, split into two separately scored parts — 16 road-sign questions and 34 traffic-law/safe-driving questions, based on the official Indiana driver handbook. Every practice question on this site is written to reflect that same format and content — not copied from the real Indiana DMV exam.

To pass, you need 14 of 16 road-sign questions and 28 of 34 rules questions (an overall 84%). That's the standard the Indiana BMV uses to score the written knowledge test.

The passing score is 14 of 16 road-sign questions and 28 of 34 rules questions (an overall 84%). If you don't pass, you can retest as soon as the next business day, and there’s no retest fee.

Indiana BMV doesn’t cap the number of attempts and doesn’t charge a retest fee — you can retake the knowledge test as soon as the next business day if you don’t pass.

You must be at least 15 years old to start Indiana’s graduated driver licensing process and take the written knowledge test.

If you’re under 16, you’ll also need to enroll in a BMV-authorized behind-the-wheel training program, and a parent or guardian must sign a financial responsibility agreement. Bring proof of identity and Indiana residency for your BMV visit.
