In Florida, almost everyone applying for a first regular (Class E) driver license must pass the Knowledge Exam. It applies whether you are a teen in the graduated licensing program or an adult who never held a license.
You need to pass the Class E Knowledge Exam if you are:
Note for applicants under 18. Teens must also complete the Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education (TLSAE) course and have a parent or guardian sign the application before taking the Class E Knowledge Exam. Under Florida's graduated licensing program, you hold a learner's permit for at least 12 months (or until age 18) with a clean record before the full Class E license.
Two different tests stand between you and a full Class E license. They are easy to confuse, so here is how they compare.
| Feature | Knowledge Exam (this guide) | Road Skills Test |
|---|---|---|
| What it tests | Written rules, signs and laws | Your actual driving behind the wheel |
| Where you take it | Online or at a DHSMV / tax collector office | At a DHSMV office or approved third-party site |
| Format | 50 multiple-choice questions | On-road maneuvers scored by an examiner |
| Passing standard | 40 of 50 correct (80%) | Complete required maneuvers safely |
| How to prepare | Study guide and practice tests | Supervised practice driving |
You take the Knowledge Exam first to get your learner's permit, then the Road Skills Test for the full Class E license. This guide focuses on the written Knowledge Exam, the step most first-time applicants worry about.
To take the Class E Knowledge Exam and apply for your permit, the DHSMV asks for identity and residency documents. Bring the originals, not copies.
A certified birth certificate or valid passport, plus proof of your Social Security number.
Two documents showing your Florida address, such as a utility bill, lease or bank statement.
First-time drivers must finish the Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education course before the exam. Under-18 applicants also need parental consent.
You can take the Class E Knowledge Exam online through an approved provider or in person at a DHSMV or county tax collector office. Either way, you still visit an office in person to submit your documents and get your permit. Study first, pass the practice tests, then go in ready.
