- FSRS under the hood, a modern spaced repetition method. How it works
What the Illinois permit test is like.
- The basic written exam asks you to identify signs by shape, color or symbol, identify signals and pavement markings, and answer multiple-choice and true-or-false questions on traffic laws, safety rules, crash prevention and vehicle equipment.
- The Secretary of State’s Rules of the Road workbook says the written exam has 35 questions, 15 of them on traffic sign identification.
- Illinois rules set the passing mark at 80 percent correct, which is 28 of 35.
- You get three attempts to pass each exam, within one year of the date you paid your application fee.
- An original Class D instruction permit costs $20, and you also pass a vision screening.
