KENTUCKY STUDY GUIDE
How to prepare for the Kentucky permit test
Kentucky’s Driver Manual says the operator written test covers driving rules, regulations, procedures, and highway signs. It requires an 80% minimum passing score. The manual does not publish a fixed item count for the operator test, so this site uses a clearly labeled 25-question sample rather than presenting a made-up official length.
Know the Kentucky permit phase
Applicants must be at least 15 to take the written and vision tests. Under-18 permit holders need a licensed adult age 21 or older in the front seat, and must follow passenger and late-night restrictions.
Plan supervised practice
Kentucky’s current GDL page calls for at least 60 hours of supervised driving, including 10 hours at night, and a permit held at least 180 days before an under-18 driver may apply for an intermediate license at age 16.
Follow intermediate-license limits
Drivers under 18 with an intermediate license remain subject to passenger and midnight-to-6 a.m. restrictions. Kentucky also requires an approved Graduated Driver Licensing course before a full unrestricted license.
