Alabama
Dixieland delight! Aceable's Alabama learner permit course is now free.
Drivers education is not required to obtain an instruction permit in the state of Alabama. Applicants can walk into their local DPS office and take the learner permit test without any prerequisites as long as they are at least 15 years old. While you might be tempted to just walk into the driver license office without any preparation, it’s a good idea to study beforehand. The official test is composed of 30 multiple-choice questions based on the Alabama Driver’s Handbook, so unless you want to read that (no thank you), we recommend taking Aceable’s free permit prep test course to study for the exam instead.
Arizona
Racing Arizona: Drive through the beautiful countryside of The Grand Canyon State with your learner's permit!
Drivers ed is not a requirement for those trying to get their learner license or provisional license in the state of Arizona. Instead, applicants can take the written knowledge test at any point after they turn 15. In order to pass the Arizona learner permit test, you’ll have to get at least 24 out of 30 multiple choice questions correct. Aceable can help you prepare for the exam with a free permit practice test based on questions from the Arizona Driver Handbook. You got this!
California
Cali, you're not dreamin': Aceable is now offering its California permit test prep course for free!
California residents under 17 and a half years old are required to take a driver education course in order to get a learner’s permit. While you can purchase the complete, state-authorized driver education course from Aceable (which includes a free permit practice test section), we also offer the practice tests separately.
Our free California permit practice tests are also a great resource for those ages 18 and older who choose not to take drivers education, or for those who took drivers ed from another provider but want extra practice for the permit exam.
Georgia
Georgia's on our mind: Aceable is now offering a free course for Georgia residents to help them prepare for the written knowledge test.
In Georgia, you can get your learner’s permit without having to take any driving courses. All you have to do to get your instruction permit is head to your local Department of Driver Services Center and pass both the vision test and written knowledge test. The written knowledge test is actually two tests - Road Signs Test and Road Rules Test. Each one has 20 questions and you must answer 15+ correctly to pass. Aceable’s free Georgia drivers ed study guide can help you study for the exam and ensure you pass on the first try.
Indiana
Who’s the Hoosier favorite? Aceable, because we're now offering a free learner's permit test prep course in Indiana.
If you decide to take an Indiana BMV-approved course, you can get your learner’s permit at age 15 instead of age 16. You can also get your probationary license up to six months earlier. If you don’t want to take a driving course, you’re eligible once you turn 16. Head to your local BMV branch and take both the knowledge exam and vision test. To prepare for the exam, be sure to use Aceable’s free drivers ed prep course !
Iowa
Not an IOU: Our Iowa learner permit test prep course is completely free!
In Iowa, teens under age 18 must take a state-approved drivers ed course before they can get their driver license. To get a learner’s permit, however, all Iowa residents have to do is take a written knowledge test and eye exam at their local driver license office. Aceable’s free permit test study guide can help you prepare for the exam and ace it on the first try!
Massachusetts
Think you're going to Boston? Get your Massachusetts learner license first with the help of our free course.
Massachusetts residents are eligible to get a learner’s license at age 16. You can head to your local Registry of Motor Vehicles office, where you’ll have to get at least 18 questions on the exam right within 25 minutes to pass.
To get a junior operator license you must first enroll in a drivers education course, consisting of 30 hours of classroom instruction and 18 hours of behind-the-wheel practice. If you’re at least 16, then Aceable’s free Massachusetts driving permit course is the perfect mobile study aid to ensure you ace the exam. With your permit in hand, you’re ready to start working on your supervised behind-the-wheel hours!
Minnesota
Hail! Minnesota: Aceable's free learner permit test prep course helps residents pass the driver permitting exam.
If you’re between the ages 15-17 in Minnesota and seeking a driver’s license, you first must enroll in a state-approved drivers ed course. Minnesota residents who are 15 or older are eligible to head to their local DPS office and take the knowledge test and vision test in order to obtain a learners permit. To help you study, be sure to download Aceable’s free drivers ed study guide available in the App Store or on the web .
New York
New course for New York: Aceable offers a free drivers ed study guide on our mobile app and the web.
In New York, you must take an approved drivers education course or DMV “pre-licensing” course to earn your driver license. Once you turn 16, you can get your instruction permit by answering at least 14 of 20 questions right on the written DMV test. Prep for the DMV test with Aceable’s free driver's ed study aid.
North Carolina
Flying high: We now offer a free drivers ed study guide in the state known for being first in flight.
North Carolina law requires anyone under the age of 18 who is seeking a driver’s license to enroll in a state-authorized driver education program. Once you’ve completed drivers ed and have your certificate of completion, you can head to the DMV to take the learner permit test, road sign recognition test and eye exam. There are 20 questions on the learner license exam and you must score at least an 80 percent or higher to pass. Use Aceable’s free learner permit test prep course to ace it!
Pennsylvania
Major key: Aceable offers a free learner permit test prep course to residents of the Keystone State.
Drivers education is not required in Pennsylvania, but taking it can help you ditch your restricted license sooner and move onto a full license. If you sign up for a PennDOT-approved course, you’ll be able to get your unrestricted license at age 17, instead of age 18. If you’re 16 years old, you’re eligible to get your learner’s permit.
Before you go to the driver license center to take the permit test, you need to go to your primary care physician and get a nurse or doctor to fill out your Medical Qualification Certificate. You need this form to apply for your license. If you decide not to take a drivers education course, or just want to study more for the learner permit test, be sure to check out Aceable’s free DMV test prep course .
Tennessee
Gladly volunteering: Aceable offers a free drivers ed test prep course in Tennessee.
Applicants seeking a driver’s license in Tennessee aren’t required to take any sort of driver education course. If you’re 15-17 years old in Tennessee, the most important document you need in order to get your learner permit is a school attendance form signed by your principal or guidance counselor. You’ll need to bring this with you to the DMV along with documents that prove your identity and residency. Once at the driver services center, all you have to do is pass the permit test and vision test.
Take free permit practice tests from Aceable to ensure you ace the exam!
