Permit test tomorrow?
One evening is enough to get your documents ready and go over the rules people mix up most. It isn't enough to learn everything from scratch, so spend it where it counts.
Independent practice site. We're not the DMV and aren't connected to any government agency.
Tonight
- Take the free 20-question test (about 5 minutes) and note the topics you miss.
- Go over the rules people mix up most (below). Most of them are numbers: distances, limits and ages.
- Look again at what you got wrong, then stop. No new topics tonight.
What to bring
- Your primary ID, original or certified. No photocopies.
- Proof of your Social Security number.
- Two documents that show your Florida residential address.
- The $48 fee, plus any tax collector service fee.
- Proof of your TLSAE course, if you've never held a license.
- Your glasses or contacts, if you wear them. There's a vision and hearing screening.
- Under 18: a parent or guardian to sign your consent form.

About our plan, if you're thinking of it tonight
With one day left, our Ready Plan gives you a 1-day plan and says what it can't cover. It can't confirm you're ready: Ready needs two full practice exams on different days. If the free test already goes well, you probably don't need it.
