Introduction
The Driver Knowledge Test (DKT) is a computer-based test about road safety and the NSW road rules. You need to pass the DKT to get your learner driver licence.
You can study for and practise the DKT online.
DKT tests are taken at a Service NSW Centre.
There is a fee attached to the test and you have to pay it each time you book. For example if:
- you fail the DKT and have to sit it again, or
- your learner licence expires and you want to reapply for it.
