PermitoQuestions and pass mark by state
Each row shows the number of questions on the knowledge test, the score that passes, the agency page the numbers come from and the date we checked. “Not yet confirmed” means we have not seen the number on the agency’s own page, so we do not print one.

What the source column means
- A number. The number is on a page published by the state agency. The source column links to it and the last column gives the day we checked.
- Not published. The agency does not publish this number. We do not guess one.
- Not yet confirmed. We have not seen the number on the agency’s own page, so we print none. The link goes to the agency page where you can look.
