Kansas writes its own rules for young drivers, and this page will prepare you for them. The Kansas Driving Handbook is the source, and the first step is the instruction permit — available at 14 — which requires the written test or an approved driver-education course, plus a vision screening.
What’s included
Kansas only, from Kansas’s handbook. This set covers Kansas rules only. A question that helps in another state can mislead in Kansas, because speed limits, following distances, and permit rules differ.
292 practice questions, with an explanation on every question. The full Kansas bank holds exactly 292 practice questions, counted from the bank file on October 31, 2026. Each question carries an explanation tied to the handbook, so a wrong answer teaches the rule instead of just marking you wrong.
Organized by the handbook’s own sections. The set follows the structure of the Kansas Driving Handbook, so you can work through it section by section and know where every question came from.
Free, with no price attached. This is a free program in PassProfessor’s Free Practice hub. There is no purchase price for this practice set.
The real test at a glance
Current as of October 2026, from the official Kansas sources named in this package’s internal record. Your state’s handbook and agency are the authority — if anything here differs from them, they are correct.
| Testing agency | Kansas Department of Revenue — Division of Vehicles |
| First license step | Instruction Permit |
| Knowledge test | Written test (plus a vision screening), or an approved driver-education course instead of the written test |
| Written test fee | $10 examination fee for a Class C license application |
| Minimum age — instruction permit | 14 years old |
| Permit validity | 1 year, then expires unless renewed |
| Handbook | Kansas Driving Handbook |
- Kansas starts at 14. The handbook’s first licensing step is the instruction permit, available at age 14 with a parent or guardian’s written consent. You must pass the written test (or complete an approved driver-education course) and a vision screening, and show proof of identity, Social Security number, and Kansas residency.
- Driver education can replace the written test. The handbook provides that completing an approved driver-education course substitutes for the written examination. The vision screening is still required, and the permit rules still apply.
- You get four chances — then a wait. Per the handbook, an applicant who fails the written test four times must wait six months before retaking it. Practice before your first attempt, not after your fourth.
- The permit year matters. Drivers under 17 must hold the instruction permit for at least one year before qualifying for a restricted license, and must complete the supervised-driving and clean-record conditions the handbook describes.

How to use it
- Join the notify list today. When the program opens, start with Kansas — not a neighboring state, and not a generic national set.
- Get Kansas’s current handbook first. Download or pick up the current edition of the Kansas Driving Handbook. It is the source for every question in this set.
- Practice topic by topic. Work through the handbook sections in order using the map above. When a practice question surprises you, read its explanation and find the rule in the handbook.
- Then practice mixed. Once the sections feel familiar on their own, take mixed sets that pull from across the handbook, the way the real written test does.
- Confirm your test-day facts from the state, not from practice sites. Before you go, check the Kansas Department of Revenue — Division of Vehicles pages for the current fee, age, and permit rules.

Frequently asked questions
How old do I have to be for a Kansas instruction permit?
14 years old. To apply for an instruction permit you must be at least 14 and pass the written test (or complete an approved driver-education course instead) plus the vision screening. You must also have a parent or guardian’s written consent, proof of identity, Social Security number, and proof of Kansas residency.
How much does the Kansas written test cost?
$10 examination fee for a Class C license application. The Kansas Driving Handbook lists a $10 fee for an examination, applied when you submit a Class C license application.
Who gives the Kansas driver tests?
The Kansas Department of Revenue — Division of Vehicles. It issues driver’s licenses and administers the written and driving tests in Kansas, through its driver licensing offices.
How long is a Kansas instruction permit valid?
1 year. An instruction permit is valid for one year from issuance, then expires unless renewed. Drivers under 17 must hold it for at least one year before moving to a restricted license.
How many questions are on the Kansas written test, and what score passes?
The Kansas Driving Handbook does not publish a question count or a passing score in the sections summarized for this page. The test is a written examination on the handbook’s material, taken at a Division of Vehicles office. Before you go, confirm the current question count and passing score from the Division of Vehicles or the current handbook.
What comes after the instruction permit?
Kansas runs a graduated system: instruction permit, then a restricted license at 16 (or earlier with driver education), then an unrestricted license at 17 — provided the time, supervised-driving, and clean-record conditions in the handbook are met.
Are these the actual Kansas test questions?
No. Every PassProfessor practice question is original, written from the published Kansas Driving Handbook. They are designed to match the handbook’s topics and difficulty, not to reproduce the state’s exam.
Is this practice really free?
