Everything You Need to Know About the Illinois Written Driving Test

Whether you’re a teen getting ready to learn how to drive or in your early 20s just getting around to get your first driver’s license, you first need to obtain a learner’s permit and to do that, you must pass an Illinois written driving test. Illinois wants to make sure that you have a little basic knowledge before climbing behind the wheel even with a parent or guardian, so you need to pass the permit test to get on the road.

Question Basics

So where do the questions on the test come from? All the answers are found in the Illinois Rules of the Road manual. The manual includes everything from basic road rules and laws specific to Illinois to the most common and unique road signs you might encounter. Your first step should be to download a copy and start reading through it.

How Long is the Test?

The test consists of 35 questions. At least 15 of the questions are specific to road signs, so make sure to spend some time studying the unusual ones. When you’re driving down the road, you need to be able to recognize the shape and symbols immediately to make any changes needed to your driving behavior, such as slowing down or shifting into a lower gear.

How Many Questions Do You Need to Answer Correctly to Pass?

In order to pass, you must answer 28 of the questions correctly. The questions are multiple-choice but don’t skip out on studying. Many of the answers are similar so you need to know the exact answer and not just guess them.

Passing the Test

Like anything new, you must study in order to pass the test. Start by downloading the manual and reading through the material. You can spend some time rereading any sections that seem confusing or completely new to you. After you feel like you have a grasp on the material, visit the Driver Knowledge website and take a couple of the practice Illinois written driving tests.
