Kentucky permit test at a glance
The Kentucky knowledge test is a multiple-choice exam about traffic laws, road signs and safe driving. You need about 80% to pass. Most applicants also take a vision screening on the same visit.
Kentucky State Police say the Kentucky Driver Manual is the only approved study source.
Tip: Finish all 8 learning modules, then take the exam simulation until you score 90%+ three times in a row. That gives you a safe margin on test day.
