Is a Final Exam Required in the Florida Driver Education Traffic Safety (DETS) Course

Yes. You must pass a final exam to complete the Florida Driver Education Traffic Safety (DETS) Course. The exam has 40 questions drawn randomly from a 500-question bank. You need a score of 80% or higher to pass. Retakes are unlimited.

How the Final Exam Works

The final exam is not open book — you must answer from memory. Each attempt draws 40 questions randomly from the full 500-question bank, so the questions you see will differ between attempts. There is no time limit on the exam as a whole, but identity validation questions may appear during the exam and must be answered within 60 seconds.

The final exam becomes available only after you have completed all 4 lessons and their unit quizzes.

After You Pass

Once you score 80% or higher on the final exam, your completion certificate is emailed to you automatically. Driving Logic then submits your completion record to FLHSMV through DICIS within 1 business day.
