The Class E Knowledge Exam
You answer 50 multiple-choice questions. You pass with
40 right, which is 80 percent. The questions cover
Florida traffic laws, safe driving, and traffic signs and signals.
The exam is given in English only
(Class E Knowledge Exam page).
FLHSMV says to study the
Official Florida Driver License Handbook
to get ready.
Where you can take it
- In person — at a service center.
- Online, if you are under 18 — through a company FLHSMV has approved. You need a Parent Proctoring Form. It must be notarized or signed in front of a driver license examiner.
- At school — many high school driver education classes may give the exam through a program called DELAP. Ask your high school whether it takes part.
Pass with an approved company, and your result goes to FLHSMV on its own.
You may still be picked at random for a retest at an office, with no
warning and no fee. Fail that retest, and a fee is charged at your next
try. All of this is on the same FLHSMV exam page.
A knowledge retest is $10.00 on the
FLHSMV fee list.
