Florida writes its own knowledge exam from its own handbook. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) gives the Class E Knowledge Exam — 50 multiple-choice questions on Florida traffic laws, safe driving practices, and identifying traffic controls — for the learner’s license, available from age 15. This page’s practice set is the Florida slice of PassProfessor’s free Driver Permit Practice Tests: 299 original questions built only from the Official Florida Driver License Handbook, organized by the handbook’s own chapters, so the numbers you practice with — Florida’s point values, curfews, and insurance minimums included — are Florida numbers.

What’s included

Florida only, from Florida’s handbook. A question that helps in another state can mislead in Florida, because speed limits, following distances, blood-alcohol rules, and permit steps differ by state. That is why this program is not one national bank. It is 50 separate state banks — 14,848 questions in total — and the Florida set was built from Florida’s current official driver handbook only. When you open this page’s practice set, you practice only Florida material.

299 questions for Florida. The Florida bank holds exactly 299 practice questions, counted from the bank file on October 31, 2026. Every one of those 299 questions carries an explanation — 299 of 299 with a non-empty explanation, coordinator-verified — so when you miss a question you can read why the keyed answer is right before you move on.

Organized by the handbook’s own sections. The set follows the structure of the Official Florida Driver License Handbook (FLHSMV), so you can study section by section in the same order the handbook teaches the material, then mix sections together the way the real test does. The full section-by-section map is in the table below.

Free practice, with no price attached. This is a free program in PassProfessor’s Free Practice hub. There is no purchase price for this practice test, and nothing on this page should be read as implying a charge for it. Joining the notify list is only about being told when the Florida set opens.

Built to be re-checked when the handbook changes. Florida revises its handbook, and a practice question that matched last year’s edition can drift. This bank is tied to the handbook edition named in the internal record for this package, and future refreshes re-check against the same official source.

The real test at a glance

Current as of October 2026, from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) — its Class E Knowledge Exam & Driving Skills Test page and its fee information, and the Official Florida Driver License Handbook (the edition this bank was built from). Your state’s handbook and agency are the authority — if anything here differs from them, they are correct.

  • An education course comes before the exam. FLHSMV states customers must complete a Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education (TLSAE) course before applying for a license in Florida if they have never been issued a driver license in any state or country. (This PassProfessor practice is not that course and does not satisfy it — see the disclaimer.)
  • Under 18, you may test online. FLHSMV states any applicant under the age of 18 can take the Class E Knowledge Exam online through approved third-party administrators, with a notarized Parent Proctoring Form; the exam is also given at service centers, and many high school driver education classes offer it through the Driver Education Licensing Assistance Program (DELAP).
  • Know the re-test rule before you test through a third party. FLHSMV notes that under Florida Statutes §322.56(3)(b) and (e), a customer who passes through an authorized third-party administrator may be randomly selected for a no-fee mandatory re-test at a driver license or tax collector office before the license is issued.

How the practice maps to the real test

The set follows Florida’s handbook sections. Work through a section in the handbook, then practice that section here; finish with mixed sets drawn from across the handbook, the way the real knowledge test mixes topics.

How to use it

  1. Join the notify list today. When the program opens, start with Florida — not a neighboring state, and not a generic national set. State selection is the whole point of this program.
  2. Get Florida’s current handbook first. Download or pick up the current edition of the Official Florida Driver License Handbook (FLHSMV) from FLHSMV. It is the document your test is built from.
  3. Practice topic by topic. Work through the handbook sections in order using the map above. When a practice question surprises you, find that rule in your handbook and read the surrounding section, and read the explanation on the question.
  4. Then practice mixed. Once the sections feel familiar on their own, take mixed sets that pull from across the handbook, the way the real knowledge test does. A rule you only recognize inside its own chapter is not yet learned.
  5. Confirm your test-day facts from the state, not from practice sites. Before you go, check FLHSMV’s official pages for the current question count, pass mark, minimum age, required documents, and fee. Those facts change, and your state’s agency is the only authority for them.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions are on the Florida Class E Knowledge Exam, and what passes?

50 multiple-choice questions, and you must answer 40 out of 50 correctly — 80 percent — to pass. FLHSMV states the exam covers Florida traffic laws, safe driving practices, and identifying traffic controls.

How old do I have to be for a Florida learner’s license?

At least 15 years old (the handbook’s learner’s-license requirements begin at age 15, with the required education course, vision and hearing screening, and the Class E Knowledge Exam; applicants under 18 need parental consent). You must hold the learner’s license for one year (12 months) from issuance — or be 18 — to qualify for the Class E driver license.

How much does a Florida learner’s license cost?

FLHSMV lists the fee for an initial Florida Class E license (including the learner’s license) at $48.00, and most local tax collector offices also charge a $6.25 service fee. Confirm the current fee schedule at FLHSMV before you go, since fees change.

What do I have to complete before the Florida knowledge exam?

If you have never held a driver license in any state or country, FLHSMV requires a Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education (TLSAE) course before applying. You will also pass vision and hearing screenings as part of the learner’s-license process described in the handbook.

Can I take the Florida knowledge exam online?

If you are under 18, yes — FLHSMV states any applicant under 18 can take the Class E Knowledge Exam online through approved third-party administrators, with a Parent Proctoring Form that is notarized or signed in front of a driver license examiner. Results are submitted to FLHSMV automatically. At 18 or older, plan on testing at a service center.

In what languages is the Florida exam offered?

FLHSMV lists Class E knowledge examinations in Arabic, Chinese, English, Haitian Creole, Russian, and Spanish.

Are these the actual Florida test questions?

No. Every PassProfessor practice question is original, written from the Official Florida Driver License Handbook. The state does not publish its live test questions, and we never use actual test items or another provider’s bank. FLHSMV offers its own Class E Knowledge Practice Test as well — ours is independent practice built from the same handbook.

Is this practice really free?

Yes. This Florida set is part of PassProfessor’s free Driver Permit Practice Tests program in the Free Practice hub. There is no price for the practice tests themselves. The notify form only signs you up to be emailed when the program opens; it is not a purchase. (State license fees charged by FLHSMV or a tax collector are separate and are set by Florida.)

When will the Florida practice set be available?

The bank is complete, and the program opens as the catalog expands. Join the notify list on this page and we will email you when it opens. It will be free when it opens.

What should I study besides practice questions?

The Official Florida Driver License Handbook, cover to cover — FLHSMV tells you to study it for this exam. Use the chapter map on this page: traffic controls and driver licenses lead the practice set, and the handbook’s own Chapter 11 study guide is a useful final check.
