No. The Florida Driver Education Traffic Safety (DETS) Course final exam is not open book. You must answer all 40 questions from memory. You cannot refer to course materials, notes, or outside resources during the exam.

The best preparation for the final exam is to review your completed lessons before you begin. You can go back to any lesson at any time while you are in the course — just do your review before starting the exam, not during it.

Retaking the unit quizzes is also effective preparation since they draw from the same 500-question bank as the final exam.

Identity validation questions may appear during the final exam at random intervals. These questions must be answered correctly within 60 seconds. They are based on personal information you provided at registration and on content from the course. They are not part of your exam score but must be answered to continue.

Can I look things up during the final exam? No. The final exam requires you to answer from memory. Referring to course materials or outside resources during the exam is not permitted.

Can I review the course before I start the exam? Yes. You can review any completed lesson before you start the exam. Once the exam begins, reviewing lessons is no longer available.

What is the best way to prepare for the final exam? Review all 4 lessons and retake the unit quizzes. The quizzes draw from the same 500-question bank, so reviewing missed quiz questions is directly relevant to the final exam.

Is there a time limit on the final exam? There is no overall countdown timer on the final exam. However, identity validation questions that appear during the exam must be answered within 60 seconds.

What happens if I fail the final exam? You can retake it immediately with no waiting period and no additional charge. Each retake presents a new set of 40 randomly selected questions.
