Taking the DDS permit test in Georgia does not have to be intimidating. Using this study guide, and taking the permit practice test will help make the process easy.
The process of earning your driver’s permit in the state of Georgia is very similar to the process followed in other states. After passing a visual exam and a written test, you will be given a learner’s permit that you must keep for one year before taking the driving portion of the test. You will also need to complete a driver education course unless you are an adult over the age of 18. The most important factor in passing the written portion of the Georgia driver’s permit test is to study the official Georgia driver’s manual provided by the Georgia Department of Driver Services.
