Directions: To get an Iowa’s license, you will have to take the vision screening and a knowledge test if you have an invalid or expired (over one year) out-of-state license, or if you have not had a driver’s license before. If you have a valid out-of-state license that allows you to drive by yourself, the driving test may be waived.

The Iowa knowledge test shows how well you understand road signs, traffic laws, and safe-driving practices. Everything you must know to pass the knowledge test is in Iowa Driver’s Manual guide. The Knowledge tests include 35 multiple choice questions

If you answer at least 28 questions correctly. you will be well prepared to take the knowledge test for your learner's permit.
