What to Expect on the Utah Written Exam

When taking the Utah written knowledge test for your learner's permit, you'll visit a Utah Driver License Division office by appointment. You'll take a 50-question closed-book exam covering Utah traffic laws, road signs, vehicle operation, and safe driving practices. The test is computer-based, and you'll have adequate time to complete all questions. You must answer at least 40 questions correctly to pass. If you fail, you can schedule another test appointment immediately or retake it the same day at some locations. Once you pass, you'll receive your learner's permit the same day, valid for 18 months. This permit allows you to practice driving under the supervision of a licensed adult while preparing for your driving skills test.

Car / Standard Driver License

Utah's written knowledge test for a learner's permit is a 50-question closed-book exam. You must answer at least 40 questions correctly (80% passing score) to pass. The test fee is $19.00, and the permit is valid for 18 months. Applicants must be at least 15 years old. You are allowed to retake the exam the same day if you fail. For repeat failures, after three failures you must wait 30 days, and after six failures you must wait 90 days before retesting. The test is available in English; language accommodations may be available for regular driver's licenses.

Motorcycle Endorsement

Utah motorcycle riders must pass a written knowledge test covering motorcycle operation, safety rules, and hazard-specific awareness. The motorcycle test structure is similar to the standard permit test, with questions focused on two-wheeled vehicle operation and safety considerations.

Commercial Driver License (CDL)

Utah Commercial Driver License (CDL) applicants must pass knowledge tests for their class (A, B, or C) and selected endorsements (hazmat, tanker, passenger, doubles/triples). CDL tests are administered in English only, as federal regulations require commercial drivers to read and speak English. Retake penalties include 24-hour wait after first failure, 30-day wait after third failure, and 90-day wait after sixth failure. The CDL driving skills test costs $78 for two attempts and $52 for additional retakes.
