Virginia Two-Part Knowledge Exam
You will need to take the knowledge exam, unless you already hold a valid driver’s license from another state in U.S., Canada, Germany or France.
The two-part knowledge exam is given on a computer and tests your knowledge of traffic signs, motor vehicle laws, and safe driving. Exam questions are taken from information in the driver’s manual.
The first part consists of ten questions on traffic signs. You must correctly answer all ten questions in part one before you can take part two of the exam.
Part two tests your general knowledge with multiple choice questions. You must answer at least 80 percent of these questions correctly to pass.
If you fail the exam and are under age 18, you must wait a full 15 days before you can retake the exam. If you are 18 or older, you can wait 15 days, or pay a $2.00 fee if you want to retake the exam within 15 days. However, the exam may be taken only once per business day.
If you fail the driver’s license knowledge exam three times, you will not be able to take it a fourth time until you complete and pass the classroom part of driver education at a driver training school approved by DMV or the Department of Education. When you successfully complete the classroom part and give DMV your certificate of completion, you can take the knowledge exam again.
Remember, you are not allowed to:
- get help while taking the exam
- help another person taking the exam
- try to get test questions or answers before the exam
- give another person exam questions or answers
- use a cell phone during the exam
