Free Connecticut DMV Written Test Study Guide 2025

  • Perfect for learner’s permit, driver’s license, and senior refresher test.

Connecticut employs a Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) system for those who apply for a driver’s license. You must be 16 or older to qualify, and this process begins with an application for a learner’s permit. After scheduling an appointment at a DMV office, you must pass a vision test and the official 25-question knowledge exam. A score of 80% or higher is required to pass, leaving little margin for error. Students must complete an 8-hour Safe Driving Practices course and hold a learner’s permit for 180 days (120 days if they complete driver education at a commercial driving school or high school). Parental consent and the completion of two hours of parent training are also required if the applicant is under 18.

After satisfying the learner’s permit holding period and practicing driving with a qualified trainer for at least 40 hours, you can apply for a driver’s license. Adults follow a similar process, although the learner’s permit holding period is shortened to 90 days. Driver education is optional for those aged 18 or older, but an 8-hour Safe Driving Practices course is still required for those who have not previously held a license in Connecticut or do not hold a valid license issued by another state.

We know how Driver's Ed goes

The material is dry. Studying it is tedious. And you don't want to step foot inside the DMV. So you dread it, avoid it, pretend it doesn't exist. Or you go to the DMV and shoot your shot. You walk in. Take a number. Then the number takes your soul.

Noses sneeze. Babies cry. Frustration groans. And when it's finally time to take your test, you're sweating. Thirty minutes later, you're crying. Because despite your best efforts. You failed. Next thing you know, you're chasing a Waymo in circles to get home (embarrassing!).
That ends here.
At Driving Tests, we know emotions can get in the way of doing what you need to do. So we deliver Driver's Ed that makes it easy to start, and even easier to finish. We get you DMV Smart ASAP. Testing you with real, up-to-date questions. Backing up tricky driving situations with easy-to-grasp visuals & engaging practice tests that reaffirm what you know, and test you again on what you don't. So by the time test day comes - you *own* the DMV. Your only worry? Convincing the proctor you didn't cheat ;)
