Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs
Kentucky publishes a pass mark of 80%: "Applicants must make a minimum score of 80% to pass this test" (Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, drive.ky.gov, read 13 November 2026). Our practice tests are marked at the same 80%, so a practice score means the same thing as the real one.
Kentucky does not publish a question count. Neither Kentucky State Police nor the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet states how many questions the written test contains, so any exact number you see elsewhere is not the state’s figure (kentuckystatepolice.ky.gov and drive.ky.gov, both read 13 November 2026). Our own practice bank holds 318 Kentucky questions across 15 topics.
The Kentucky Driver Manual. Kentucky State Police states that "the only approved or endorsed material to prepare for the Kentucky driver license exam is on kentuckystatepolice.ky.gov", and publishes the manual there — the current edition is dated 23 July 2026 (read 13 November 2026).
Yes. Kentucky State Police lists the written test in Arabic, Burmese (Myanmar), Chinese, Dari (Afghan Persian), English, French, Japanese, Kinyarwanda (Rwanda), Pashto, Somali, Spanish and Swahili, and notes that this is currently for the standard operator test only (kentuckystatepolice.ky.gov, read 13 November 2026).
You must be at least 15 to take the written knowledge and vision tests at a Kentucky State Police testing centre and apply for a permit, and a permit is $15.00 ($18.00 for REAL ID) (Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, drive.ky.gov, read 13 November 2026). While you hold it, Kentucky law requires a licensed driver aged 21 or older in the passenger seat at all times (kentuckystatepolice.ky.gov, read 13 November 2026).
