Georgia parents, the passenger rule is the one that surprises people.

For the first six months after your teen gets a Class D provisional license, only immediate family members can ride in the car. Months seven through twelve, exactly one non-family passenger under 21 is allowed. Full freedom does not arrive on the day the license does.

The rest of the Georgia timeline is just as literal. The instructional permit starts at 15. The Class D license starts at 16, but only after holding that permit for one year and one day. Forty hours of supervised driving are required, six of them at night, signed off by affidavit.

The written test is 40 questions and you need 30 correct, which is 75 percent, one of the lower bars in the country. Georgia runs it through the Department of Driver Services rather than a DMV, which is the first thing that trips up families moving in from another state.

DMV Ready has six Georgia sample questions and the Georgia cheat sheet on the page, no signup.

The passing percentage on your state's permit test is not the number that decides whether your teen passes.

Maryland asks for 88 percent, the highest in the country. Texas asks for 70 percent, among the lowest. Now look at the miss budget instead. Maryland runs 25 questions, so 88 percent leaves room for exactly three wrong answers, and there is a 20-minute clock on top of that. Texas runs 30 questions at 70 percent, which allows nine wrong and no time limit. The state with the lower bar is by far the more forgiving test.

Then there are the rules hidden inside the exam. Virginia opens with 10 sign questions and every one has to be right or the test stops. New York passes at 70 percent but also requires at least two of its four sign questions correct. California invalidates the whole application after a third failure, and the fee goes with it.

DMV Ready has the exact pass mark for all 50 states plus DC, the retake waits, and the section rules most guides leave out.

Florida's Class E Knowledge Exam runs 50 questions, needs 40 correct to pass, and costs $48. One detail catches a lot of families off guard: it's English only. No Spanish option, even though roughly a quarter of Florida speaks Spanish at home. Compare that to California, which offers the written test in more than 30 languages, or Pennsylvania at 29. Florida also rewrote its teen driver-ed rule in 2025: anyone under 18 must now complete a 6 hour DETS course before testing, replacing the older 4 hour class. If your family is testing in Florida this year, know the language rule and the new course requirement before you schedule anything.

Every state writes its own DMV handbook, and the sizes are nowhere close. We downloaded six official state manuals and measured them: Virginia's runs 40 pages, North Carolina's runs 108. Pennsylvania asks only 18 questions but its book is 49,023 words, which works out to 2,724 words of reading for every question on the test. Missouri's guide is more direct about the deal: its own text tells applicants that all of the test questions come directly from information found in the guide, with no trick questions. If you're studying for your permit, downloading your own state's official handbook, not a generic paperback, is still the fastest path to a pass.

Tricky road sign of the day.

A yellow diamond with a yield symbol inside it. Plenty of people answer this one as a yield sign. It is not one.

Shape and color sort every sign before you read the picture. Yellow diamonds are warning signs, and warning signs tell you what is ahead so you can adjust speed and position. Regulatory signs are the ones that tell you what you must do. The yield sign itself is a downward pointing triangle, and in practice nothing else on the road is shaped that way.

So this sign is not asking you to yield here. It is telling you a yield is coming, usually where a ramp or a side road is about to merge, and that you want to be off the accelerator before you arrive.

That is the whole trick to sign questions. Read the shape and the color first, then the symbol. DMV Ready has 15 practice sign questions with a full answer key if you want to test the habit.

Parking questions look like the easiest points on the permit test. They are also where a national study deck is most likely to hand you another state's answer.

Illinois and Florida both use the standard set: 15 feet from a fire hydrant, 20 from a crosswalk, 30 from a stop sign, 50 from a railroad crossing. Illinois adds a mandatory 500 dollar fine or 50 hours of community service for parking on the tracks.

California is where the copied answers break. Its parking statute lists no stop sign distance, no yield sign distance and no railroad crossing distance at all. The hydrant rule sits in a separate section, and a city can legally shrink that buffer. The 20 foot crosswalk rule only became statewide law on January 1, 2024, so any deck older than that never had it.

New York splits from California on hills too. California gives three wheel positions. New York's manual gives one.

We read the actual vehicle codes for this one at DMV Ready. Which state are you testing in?

A five-star review that came in on the App Store last month, quoted exactly as written:

“I came across this app the day before my written exam so I used only the free limited access features. It was still very helpful as a supplement to the driver's handbook and I was able to pass my exam.”

One day of prep, on the free tier, alongside the state handbook. That is a fair description of what DMV Ready is for: a supplement to your handbook, not a replacement for it. The handbook gives you the framework. The practice questions tell you which parts your state actually tests.

Every review we quote is public on the App Store and reproduced on our site word for word, typos included, so you can check any of them yourself: https://dmv-ready.org/reviews/

Florida split its first-time driver course in two, and a lot of published guidance has not caught up.

Since August 1, 2025, TLSAE, the 4-hour Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education course, is the adult course. If you are 18 or older and have never held a license anywhere, that is your requirement. Anyone under 18 now needs the 6-hour Driver Education Traffic Safety course instead.

The failure mode is quiet and expensive. A parent searches for the Florida first time driver course, lands on a page headlined 4-Hour TLSAE, pays, and the teen finishes it that evening. Real certificate, genuinely state-approved provider, and it does not satisfy the requirement for a 16-year-old.

FLHSMV lists 34 approved TLSAE providers and 25 approved DETS providers, and several companies sit on both lists. That overlap is exactly how a family ends up in the wrong checkout. Read the age rule, then buy.

If your teen is planning an Illinois permit test, one rule decides whether they can sit for it at all.

Under 625 ILCS 5/6-107.1 a 15 year old can be issued an instruction permit only while enrolled in an approved driver education course. Nobody walks in cold at 15. A teen can get a permit without driver education once they reach 17 years and 3 months.

Adults are not exempt either. Public Act 98-167 requires applicants who are 18, 19 or 20 and have never held a license and never taken driver education to finish a six hour Adult Driver Education course first. People arrive expecting a walk in test and get sent home to take the course.

The exam itself is 35 questions and you need 28 correct, and 15 of those 35 are road sign identification. DMV Ready has the Illinois set if you want to see the wording before you go.

Most permit test memory tricks break the moment you cross a state line, and the numbers are where they break.

California asks you to signal for the last 100 feet before a turn, one figure for the whole state. Illinois wants 100 feet inside a business or residence district and 200 feet outside one. The under 21 alcohol rule splits the same way: California sets the line at 0.01 percent, Illinois suspends at anything above 0.00, and the "0.02 for minors" figure people repeat matches neither one.

Here is what does travel. When we compared parking statutes across states for DMV Ready, the digits moved but the order almost never did: hydrant, crosswalk, stop sign, railroad, closest to furthest. Most questions ask which one you may park closest to rather than the exact figure, so four words beat four digits.

Which rule surprised you most when you studied for yours?
