Is there anything I should do the night before my CT Permit Test?
Don't cram the night before your exam. Instead, you should review the notes and information you have already studied. If you've done a thorough job studying, the night before should be a quiet review session. It's also a good idea to take a few practice questions on our website. Get a good night's rest as well.
At what age am I eligible to take the CT Permit Test?
You are eligible to sign up for your permit starting at age 16.
Do I have to enroll into a Driver's Ed. class?
Yes. If you are over 18, you will need to complete an eight-hour Safe Driving Practices Course. If you are under 18, you will need to complete thirty hours of classroom training. Both of these options should be completed through a commercial driving school or a secondary driving school. Connecticut also offers the ability for you to be able to complete a home training course, which will include twenty-two hours of training and an 8-hour Safe Driving Practices course.
Do I need to have a physical before I apply for my CT license?
No. A physical is not required. However, you should report any known medical conditions to the DMV Office so that the branch can determine if a restriction should be put on your license. For example, if you needed corrective lenses to pass your vision test successfully, your license would indicate "Corrective Lenses" restrictions.
Do I need to my eyes checked before I can obtain a CT Driver's license?
Yes. You do have to complete a vision test in order to get your CT license. Fortunately, DMV clerks will conduct the vision test for you.
