Illinois Driver’s License Testing
In Illinois, drivers must take a written exam every eight years unless they have no traffic convictions on their driving record.
The written exam is designed to verify your knowledge of standard road rules and traffic laws.
The exam consists of two parts.
The first part asks you to identify traffic signs by shape, color, or symbol (15 questions).
The second part will ask you to identify signals and pavement markings. It will also have multiple-choice and true-or-false questions about traffic laws, safety rules, crash prevention, and vehicle equipment.
The Practice Test
The practice supplements reading the handbook (Rules of the Road). They do not replace the handbook. It would be best to start by reading the booklet since it gives you a good idea about what you need to know. The information is never meaningless, it is there for a reason, and questions may be drawn from all parts of it.
When you feel comfortable with the signs part of these practice tests, continue with the remaining 20 questions on the exam: Illinois Road Rules
