This Roadwise practice format has no countdown, so you can take the time you need.

The Georgia knowledge exam is given as two separately-scored 20-question components (Road Signs and Road Rules); each must be passed independently at 15/20 (75%). No overall combined score or time limit is stated in the handbook. Road Signs and the driving test are given in English only; Road Rules is offered in some other languages.
