Michigan written test at a glance
The SOS written test is the first step toward a Michigan learner permit. Our simulator uses 50 questions and a passing target of 40 correct answers (80%). Before your visit, check the current official format on the agency website.
Fees
First standard driver license: $25. This is the licensing fee, not the price of every test or a quote for an enhanced license. Official source
Testing fees
For adults, the office knowledge test is free; online testing costs $6.50. SOS also lists a $25 Temporary Instruction Permit fee. Road-skills testing businesses set their own prices; confirm those separately. Official source
Documents
Adults use the Temporary Instruction Permit route; under-18 applicants use Graduated Driver Licensing. Prepare the SOS proofs of identity, legal presence, Social Security and Michigan residency for your route. Official source
Booking a visit
Adults can choose the online knowledge test or schedule an SOS office visit. Passing online does not issue the permit: an office appointment is still needed to complete the permit process. Official source
