State exam briefing

Arkansas’ 2025 permit exam rewards local awareness across terrain

Arkansas drivers head from Little Rock interstates to Ozark switchbacks and Delta levee roads in hours, so the DFA’s 2025 update emphasizes terrain shifts, weather alerts, and share-the-road laws. Break your study week into three chunks: city drills (I-630/I-30 lane control, red-light camera corridors, pedestrian zones around the River Market), mountain maneuvers (steep downgrades on Hwy 7, runaway truck ramps, wildlife crossings), and Delta weather prep (flash-flooded levee roads, crosswinds on farmland). Our app ties each answer to Arkansas Code, so you see the statute you’ll be tested on. Wrap sessions by comparing GDL curfews with texting bans—cross-topic prompts like that help lock in the 80% you need.

Key checkpoints before you sit for Arkansas’ 25-question exam

  • Expect 25 questions drawn from the Driver License Study Guide, with an 80% passing score (20 correct).
  • Four to five prompts focus on steep Ozark grades—select lower gears, know where runaway truck ramps appear, and understand safe following distances.
  • Delta-focused items highlight flash-flood barricades and how to respond when levee roads are submerged—violations carry heavy fines.
  • Urban questions call out Little Rock and Fayetteville crosswalks, school-zone speed cameras, and cyclist passing laws.
  • The DFA stresses seat-belt and alcohol statutes—memorize implied consent and zero-tolerance rules for minors.
Minimum age
Arkansas allows driver instruction permits at 14 with parental consent and proof of enrollment in a driver education or supervised practice plan.
Permit fees
$40 to issue the learner’s permit (includes the knowledge exam).

$5 per retake when scheduled at a DFA office.

Driving skills tests are free at State Police sites; third-party testers may charge fees.

Most revenue offices accept cash, card, and money order. Online testing fees are paid by card before scheduling an in-person visit.

Retest rules
You may retake the knowledge exam the next business day. After three failures in 90 days, DFA may request documented remedial study before another attempt.

Local statutes to flag

  • Arkansas Code §27-51-307 – Passing of cyclists and vulnerable road users.
  • Arkansas Code §27-51-104 – School bus stop requirements and penalties.
  • Arkansas Code §5-65-303 – Underage DUI (zero tolerance) statutes.

Weather themes Arkansas blends into permit questions

Delta thunderstorms turn Hwy 65 into a splash zone—know when to slow, avoid cruise control, and never ignore barricades. Ozark winters glaze Highway 71; practice gentle braking and increased following distance. Spring tornado watches along I-40 bring quarter-mile visibility, so the exam reinforces pulling into safe shelters when sirens sound.

Picture your Little Rock Roosevelt Road test day

You arrive early, humidity already building, with documents neatly clipped. After the clerk checks identity and the notarized consent form, you glide through the vision screen and settle at the kiosk. The first question covers Ozark grades—you recall the lower-gear rule from last night and answer confidently. When a flash-flood scenario appears, you hear the Trooper’s advice from driver’s ed—never drive through water—and tap the correct response.
