What's the Passing Score on the Georgia Permit Test?

Because each section is scored on its own, a great score on Road Signs can't offset a weak score on Road Rules, or vice versa — you need to clear 75% on both.

A 75% passing threshold on a 20-question section means you can miss up to 5 questions per section and still pass that section, but missing more than that on either section means a retest of that section is typically required.

The Georgia DDS sets and can adjust this threshold, so confirm the current passing score on the official Georgia DDS website before you go.

Since 75% is the minimum on each section, a reasonable practice goal is to consistently score 90% or higher across all 33 permit topic areas before your appointment, giving yourself a safety margin on both the rules and the signs content.

Our practice tests show your score as a percentage immediately after each set, along with a topic-by-topic breakdown so you know exactly which rules to review again.

Road-sign recognition often trips up applicants who studied the rules of the road thoroughly but didn't spend as much time memorizing sign shapes and colors, since Georgia scores that section on its own.

Georgia also has its own zero-tolerance BAC threshold for drivers under 21, distinct from the standard adult limit, which trips up test-takers who assume every state uses the same numbers.

Reviewing the explanation after every practice question, not just the correct answer, is the fastest way to close these gaps before test day.
