Maryland permit test at a glance
The Maryland knowledge test has 25 multiple-choice questions about traffic laws, road signs and safe driving. You need at least 22 correct answers (88%) to pass. Most applicants also take a vision screening on the same visit.
The 25 questions are random, the time limit is 20 minutes, and the test is available in 17 languages.
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.
