One price. Three chances. No re-test fees. Take the official State of Florida permit exam from home. $44.95 includes all three online attempts, the Florida Driver's Handbook, 100 practice questions, and road sign flashcards. Pass, and Florida knows instantly.
The State of Florida charges testing providers a fee for every exam attempt.
Most schools pass it on: a low advertised price, then you pay again on attempt two. And again on attempt three.
Plenty of prepared students need a second try. It's a 50-question exam drawn from the full Florida Driver's Handbook, and you need 40 right. It's designed to be studied for.
So here's the honest math:
| What you'll pay | 1st Attempt | If You Fail Once | If You Fail Twice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pay-per-attempt schools | $24.95–$29.95 + fees | $50–$70 | $75–$100+ |
| Highway Traffic School $0 re-test fees | $44.95 | $44.95 | $44.95 |
One payment. Three chances. Study materials included.
If the exam takes you two tries, you saved money. If it takes you one — congratulations, you barely needed us.
Florida allows a maximum of 3 online attempts. After a third unsuccessful attempt, state rules require you to finish the exam in person. That means a driver license or tax collector office.
Register through Express Checkout. You must be 14½–17. Use your exact legal name and ID number — Florida requires the exam record to match your identity documents.
Use the study materials included with enrollment: the Florida Driver's Handbook, 100 practice questions, and road sign flashcards. The DETS course alone is not enough — the exam draws on the full handbook.
A parent or legal guardian supervises while you take the 50-question exam on a computer. 60 minutes, 80% (40 correct) to pass, and your score appears the moment you finish.
Your result goes to FLHSMV the moment you finish. Every Florida driver license office can see it. You also get a certificate to download. And you get permit pickup steps, including the Parent Proctoring Form.

No re-test fees. No "convenience fee" or "ADLTS fee" stacked on at checkout. No asterisk doing heavy lifting. Some schools advertise a low price with an asterisk that unpacks into a state assessment fee, a processing fee, a convenience fee — and a fresh charge every retake. Ours is $44.95, it includes the exam, all three attempts, the handbook, the practice questions and the flashcards, and it never charges you for trying again.

You can take the exam before completing the DETS course. But you'll need both the course and a passing exam score before Florida issues your learner's permit. You can apply for the permit itself at 15.

Florida gives every driver license knowledge exam in English only. This began February 6, 2026. It applies online and in person, at every provider. It is a state rule, not our policy. The Official Florida Driver’s Handbook still comes in English, Spanish and Haitian Creole. Study in the language you know best. Then drill the English wording with the 100 practice questions and flashcards you get with the exam. What the English-only rule means for you →
State authorization, one honest price, and the fine print up front. Here's the short version.
Highway Traffic School is an authorized third party administrator for the State of Florida. Same 50-question exam as the license office — not a practice test, not a lookalike.

Questions, in the order people ask them
Class E is Florida's regular driver license. It is the one almost every Florida driver carries to drive a car, van, or pickup. Commercial vehicles need a CDL instead. First-time drivers start with a Class E learner's license. The Class E Knowledge Exam on this page is the written test for it. Once you meet Florida's age and supervised-driving rules, you take the driving skills test at a driver license office. Pass it and you get the full Class E license. The whole path is in our Florida teen driver license guide.
The Florida Class E Knowledge Exam has 50 multiple-choice questions. They cover traffic laws, road signs, and safe driving. You need 40 correct answers (80%) to pass. You have 60 minutes to finish.
At Highway Traffic School, the official online Class E Knowledge Exam is $44.95 total. That price includes all three of your allowed online attempts. It also includes the Florida Driver's Handbook, 100 practice questions, and road sign flashcards. Many schools charge separately for each exam attempt. We never do. (If you test in person instead, exam costs are part of the state's license application fees.)
Yes, if you are under 18. The written test, the DMV test, the driver's permit test, the learner's permit test and the Class E Knowledge Exam are the same exam. Class E Knowledge Exam is Florida's name for it. Florida lets applicants ages 14½–17 take it online through an authorized third party administrator like Highway Traffic School. A parent or guardian must supervise. Applicants 18 and older take the exam in person at a driver license or tax collector office.
This is the official State of Florida Class E Knowledge Exam. It's the same test administered at driver license offices, delivered through Florida's own testing system. Highway Traffic School is an authorized third party administrator for the State of Florida. Your results are filed with FLHSMV electronically the moment you finish. Want to warm up first? Try our free 20-question practice test.
There's no separate prep course to buy. Your exam enrollment already includes the study materials: the Florida Driver's Handbook, 100 practice questions, and road sign flashcards. Start with our free 20-question practice test to see where you stand, then work through the handbook. One thing to know: the 6-hour DETS course is driver education, not exam prep — the Class E Knowledge Exam draws on the full handbook, so study that too.
Nothing extra to pay. Your $44.95 enrollment includes all three online attempts Florida allows. Most schools charge a new fee for every retake, because the state charges providers per attempt. Don't pass after your third online attempt? Florida rules require you to finish the exam in person at a driver license or tax collector office.
Yes, two of them. You have 60 minutes to complete the full exam. You must also answer each individual question within 3 minutes. If the question timer runs out, the attempt counts as failed. Navigating away from the exam window also counts as a failed attempt. These are State of Florida testing system rules. They're why we recommend a quiet room and a computer — not a phone or tablet. Close everything else in your browser before you start.
Use an up-to-date Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browser on a computer — not a smartphone or tablet. Close all other programs, tabs, and notifications. Put the browser in fullscreen mode. Use a US-based internet connection — the state testing system blocks VPNs. We'll walk you through all of this before your exam starts.
Yes. Florida requires a parent or legal guardian to supervise your entire online exam session. Afterward, Florida also requires a Parent Proctoring Form when you pick up your permit (FLHSMV Form 71144). A parent or guardian signs it after the exam, in front of a notary or a driver license examiner. Some websites soften this to "a parent watches." The state's actual requirement is a signed legal document. Have the form ready before your driver license office visit.
Yes — we provide a free downloadable certificate as proof of your passing score for your own records. But here's the part that matters: you don't need to carry proof to the driver license office. Florida already has your results — we send them to FLHSMV electronically the instant you pass. They're available at every driver license office in Florida. The certificate is your backup; the state already knows.
Rarely, yes. Florida Statute 322.56 lets the state randomly pick anyone who passed through a third party administrator. If picked, you take a free re-test at a driver license or tax collector office, with no advance notice. It is uncommon, and the re-test is free. Fail it, and the state charges a re-exam fee on your next attempt. We mention it because most schools do not, and nobody likes surprises at the counter.
You can take the exam first, but you'll need both. Before a learner's permit, Florida requires first-time drivers under 18 to do two things. Complete the 6-hour Driver Education Traffic Safety (DETS) course, and pass the Class E Knowledge Exam. If you already completed DETS elsewhere, our exam-only option is all you need. If you need both, the bundle saves you $8.95.
No. Since February 6, 2026, Florida gives all driver license exams in English only. That applies at every provider and every driver license office. The Official Florida Driver's Handbook still comes in English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole. Study in the language you know best. Then use our practice questions to get used to the English wording. More in the English-only rule guide.
Bring five things. Proof of identity (original or certified birth certificate, or US passport). Proof of your Social Security number. Two proofs of Florida residential address. Your notarized Parental Consent Form. And your Parent Proctoring Form, signed by a parent or guardian in front of a notary or a driver license examiner. At the office you'll take a quick vision and hearing screening and pay the state's license fee. Then you walk out with your learner's permit.
We cannot change an exam record after the fact. If your registration details do not match your ID documents, Florida requires you to retake the exam in person. Before the exam starts, you will check your legal name, date of birth, and ID number one last time. Make sure your name matches your birth certificate or passport exactly.
