For the permits written test, they DO NOT ask you about normal driving questions. They ask you about signs so make sure you know them, and a bunch of random questions. I didn't pass my first time taking it due to the odd questions I had no clue of. So don't feel bad if you don't pass the first or second time. Make sure you know basic rules and signs. Or you can take practice test on YouTube to help you out with random facts. Also, the practice test online is NOTHING like the real thing. --Kaylor Lingle , 08/24/2026

I think that our generation taking this test can go both ways, I feel like that some people will cheat on the test, but the good part is that some people don't really like social interactions, so taking it online will make them feel better about the test, and they can take there time on it too, no pressure. --Travis Sullivan, 07/17/2026
