What is the Road and Sign Test?
The Road & Sign Test is the 2nd and final step on your way to getting your driver's permit. Once you have completed your TLSAE (Drug and Alcohol Course) the next step is to take an exam that covers Florida road signs and road rules. The DMV Road & Sign test (also known as the Permit Test) is available online. Teen’s 15 to 17 years old with a parent/guardian proctor nearby to proctor the test (that just means they have to watch you while you take the test). Anyone over the age of 18 who needs to take the DMV Test must take it at a local DMV Office.
This exam consists of 50 questions. There are 45 questions on road rules and 5 questions on road signs. You must correctly answer 40 out of 50 questions to pass. The passing score for the exam is 80%. Through the FL-DHSMV you are allowed a total of 60 minutes to complete the Road & Sign exam. Your exam scores are electronically reported to the Florida DHSMV and will be available in the state system when you go to your local office to get your permit.
When taking the exam you are allowed 3 attempts to pass the exam online. If you fail your 1st or 2nd attempt at the exam, you may attempt the test again. However there will be a state required Florida DHSMV assessed retesting fee of $20 for your 2nd and 3rd attempts. If you fail your 3rd attempt at an online exam, you will have to go to your local DHSMV or tax collector office. At those locations you will be required to take a handwritten based version of the test. The online testing version will no longer be available to you.
