Georgia DDS Written Test Practice 2025

Georgia DDS Written Test Practice 2025. So, you’re getting ready to take the Georgia DDS written test? No stress! This test is just a step to getting your learner’s permit or driver’s license, and with a bit of prep, you’ll be good to go.

The Georgia DDS written test checks if you know the rules of the road, traffic signs, and safe driving basics. It’s not there to trick you—it’s to make sure you’re ready to hit the road without causing chaos. The test has 40 questions, split into two parts:

20 questions on road rules: Think stuff like who goes first at a four-way stop or what to do when an emergency vehicle is flashing its lights.
20 questions on road signs: You’ll need to know what those shapes and colors mean, like a red octagon screaming “STOP” or a yellow diamond warning you about a curve ahead.

You need to get at least 15 right in each section to pass. That’s a 75% score per part, so you can miss a few and still be fine.

How do I study?

Get the Georgia Driver’s Manual – It’s free and online. You don’t have to read it all in one go. Just go section by section.
Practice tests – These are a game-changer. Tons of sites have mock tests. The more you do, the more confident you get.
Use flashcards for signs – Shapes and colors are easy to mix up. Flashcards help.

What if I fail?

No biggie. Everyone messes up sometimes. If you fail, you’ll have to wait at least 1 day before you try again. But if you keep failing, the wait time goes up. So don’t rush in unprepared to “see what it’s like.”
