The exam is 50 questions covering both road signs and road rules — every question comes straight from the official Florida Driver's Handbook. Read it cover to cover before you sit down to test.
Open the Florida Driver's Handbook25 of the 50 exam questions cover road signs — warning, regulatory, guide, and construction — by shape, color, and meaning.
The other 25 questions cover road rules — right-of-way, speed limits, safe following distance, DUI laws, and Florida-specific regulations.
You need at least 40 of 50 correct (80%). You have 60 minutes and up to 3 online attempts.
Every question is drawn from the Florida Driver's Handbook — no outside material required.
