BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT

Prepare with the official source.

01

Louisiana requires a Class E Temporary Instructional Permit before a driver-education student takes the knowledge test, receives behind-the-wheel instruction, or takes the road skills test.

02

A learner’s permit applicant must be at least 15, pass vision screening, and pass a 40-question knowledge test with at least 80 percent.

03

At age 15 or 16, the learner permit is generally held at least 180 days before the next graduated-license step; age 17 has a different path.

Requirements can depend on your age, license history, and permit type. Check Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles's permit information before making an appointment.

What to expect from practice

Does this match the official Louisiana 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.

What does my progress score mean?

Your progress reflects answers submitted here, including the topics you have practiced and your latest answer to each question. It is a study aid, not a validated probability of passing.

Is this an official DMV service?

No. Ace the DMV is an independent study platform. Use the official agency links for applications, appointments, fees, and eligibility decisions.
