Arkansas DFA Written Test Guide
Updated for 2026 · Test details verified against the official Department of Finance and Administration handbook.
Arkansas blends Ozark and Ouachita mountain roads with the highways of Little Rock and Fayetteville, so its written test emphasizes road signs, safe-driving practices, and the curves and grades of rural routes. Following the official Arkansas Driver License Study Guide, our Arkansas practice permit test lets you prepare with confidence.
What to Expect on the Arkansas Permit Test
The Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) requires every new driver to pass a written knowledge test before being issued a learner's permit. In Arkansas the exam has 25 multiple-choice questions, you need 20 correct to reach the 80% passing score, and you must be at least 14 years old to apply. Every question is drawn from the official Arkansas driver's handbook, so the topics on our practice tests match exactly what the DFA asks.
Topics Covered on the AR Written Test
- Traffic Laws: State-specific rules of the road, including right-of-way, lane changing, and intersection rules
- Road Signs: Recognition and meaning of all standard road signs - warning, regulatory, and informational
- Speed Limits: Default speed limits, school zones, work zones, and highway speeds
- Safe Driving: Following distance, blind spots, defensive driving, and weather conditions
- Alcohol & Drugs: DUI laws, BAC limits, and consequences of impaired driving
- Parking Rules: Legal and illegal parking situations, curb colors, and distances
How to Prepare for the Arkansas Permit Test
The strongest preparation pairs a read-through of the official Arkansas Driver's Handbook with repeated practice tests that surface your weak spots. Because the DFA draws all 25 questions from that handbook, Arkansas drivers who consistently clear 80% on our practice tests - and review the explanation on every miss - usually pass the real exam on their first attempt. Aim for 20 or more correct, every time, before you book your appointment.
