Wisconsin Permit Test & Driver’s License FAQ

  • How many questions are on the Wisconsin permit test?

    The Wisconsin permit test consists of 50 questions, and you must answer at least 40 questions correctly to get a passing score (80%). The questions in our sample tests are nearly identical to those on the official WI exam.

  • What happens after passing the permit test?

    You will receive your permit and can begin supervised driving practice.

  • What is a Wisconsin learner’s permit?

    A learner’s permit allows new drivers to practice under supervision. In Wisconsin, you must be at least 15 ½ years old to apply.

  • Are there any restrictions or requirements with a permit?

    • You are not allowed to drive unless you are accompanied by a licensed driver who is at least 21 years old.
    • If you are under 18, you must be enrolled in driver education (30 hours of classroom education, 6 hours of behind-the-wheel training, and 6 hours of in-car observation)

  • How long is a learner’s permit valid?

    A WI permit is valid for 12 months.

  • Do I need to complete driver’s education?

    It depends on your age. If you’re under 18, you must complete a WI DMV-approved driver’s education course before applying for a probationary license. This course includes 30 hours of classroom education, 6 hours of behind-the-wheel training, and 6 hours of in-car observation.

  • What is the best way to study for the permit test?

    Study the Wisconsin driver’s handbook, take practice tests, and learn the most important road signs. Zutobi offers comprehensive study materials to help you prepare for your test and is one of the most widely used study tools in the U.S.

  • What are the steps to get a WI probationary license?

    After holding a learner’s permit for at least six months (or 7 days if over 18) and completing the required practice hours (30 hours in total, with 10 of those occurring at night), you can take the road skills test to obtain a probationary license. As stated before, drivers under 18 must also complete driver’s education.

  • What is the road test?

    The road test evaluates your ability to drive safely and follow traffic laws. You’ll be tested on defensive driving techniques, turning, parking, lane changes, and more.

  • What is a probationary license?

    A probationary license is the next step in the GDL program and is available to teenagers who are at least 16 years old. It comes with fewer restrictions than a learner's permit and allows you to drive without supervision.

  • Are there restrictions on a probationary license?

    • Must maintain sobriety at all times
    • May not drive with more than one other passenger under the age of 25 (who is not an immediate family member)
    • Are not allowed to drive between 12am and 5am, unless traveling between school, home, and/or work
    After nine months of violation-free driving, these restrictions will be lifted.

  • How many hours of practice driving do I need?

    In Wisconsin, drivers under 18 must complete at least 30 hours of supervised driving, of which 10 must be at night.
