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.
Our Connecticut DMV Written Test Study Guide practice test can help you pass the official written knowledge test on your first attempt. This intuitive tool is available online, 24/7. All you need to access it is a compatible device and a stable internet connection.

This AI coach will give you helpful hints that nudge you in the right direction without revealing the correct answer. And if you are still confused about a question, you can request real-life examples and further explanations.
With nonstop access and unlimited attempts, there’s no limit to how often you can train with this practice test.
