How the NSW DKT works
You pass the Driver Knowledge Test to get your NSW learner licence. You can take it online at the end of a 4 to 6 hour interactive course, or in person at a Service NSW centre. The in-person test has traditionally been 45 multiple-choice questions in two parts, with a high pass mark: only 4 wrong in total, and only 1 in the road safety part. Either way, the questions come from the same NSW road rules.
