Prepare with the official source.
Connecticut’s learner-permit knowledge test has 25 questions; 20 correct answers are needed to pass.
A learner must be at least 16 and pass both vision and knowledge tests; the permit is valid until licensing or two years, whichever comes first.
For a 16- or 17-year-old permit holder, passenger limits apply and the supervising instructor must sit in the front passenger seat, alert and ready to take control.
Requirements can depend on your age, license history, and permit type. Check Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles's permit information before making an appointment.

Does this match the official Connecticut test?
Our exam-style sessions use a mixed practice set with feedback held until the end. They do not reproduce the official test, its question pool, or every possible rule. Study the complete state handbook as well.
