About the Georgia DDS written test

The Georgia knowledge test (often searched as the Georgia permit test or Georgia DMV test) checks that new drivers understand road signs, traffic laws and safe driving habits before getting a learner's permit. The questions come from the official Georgia driver handbook published by the Georgia Department of Driver Services.

Georgia's instructional permit knowledge exam is taken in person at a DDS Customer Service Center and is split into a road signs section and a road rules section. Applicants can start at 15, and the DDS Driver's Manual is the study source.
