About This Test
This course is for anyone taking the Connecticut knowledge test for a first driver license — most often a teenager applying for a learner's permit, but equally an adult who has never been licensed and a driver moving to Connecticut from another state or another country. The test is the written part of getting licensed. It is not the road test, and passing it does not by itself let you drive alone.
Connecticut sets its own minimum age, its own list of documents and its own fees, and changes them from time to time. Check those against Connecticut DMV before you go, because they may have changed since this course was written.
Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles sets the knowledge-test process; this site does not give the official test. Check the test route below before you book. For office visits, check Connecticut DMV office locations and appointment requirements before you travel.
Some states also allow the knowledge test online, at a high school, or through an approved driver-education course, sometimes only for applicants under a certain age. Whether Connecticut does is on the Connecticut DMV licensing pages.
If anything on this site disagrees with what Connecticut DMV publishes, Connecticut DMV is right and we want to know.
