Are There Quizzes in the Texas Parent Taught Driver Education Course
Yes. There is a 4-question quiz at the end of each of the 12 modules. The teen must pass each quiz before the next module unlocks. There is also a DPS written knowledge exam integrated at the end of Module 1 (the permit exam).
Module Quizzes
Each module ends with a 4-question multiple-choice quiz covering the content from that module. The passing score is 70% — at least 3 of 4 questions correct. If the teen does not pass on the first attempt, they can retake the quiz immediately with no cooldown and no penalty.
The DPS Permit Exam in Module 1
Module 1 contains a second, more significant assessment: the official 30-question Texas DPS Highway Sign and Traffic Law Examination. This is the written knowledge test required for the Learner's Permit. Passing it generates the DE-964 Permit Certificate. It has a 24-hour cooldown if not passed on the first attempt.
