Theory Test

The theory test is a mandatory test that you must pass before you can apply for a South Korean driving license. The test is designed to assess your knowledge of traffic rules and regulations, safe driving practices, and road signs. The test consists of 40 multiple-choice questions, and you must answer at least 32 questions correctly to pass. You can take the theory test at any of the Driver's License Examination Centers or at any authorized driving schools.

Practical Driving Test

Once you have passed the theory test, you can begin taking practical driving lessons with a licensed driving instructor. You will need to complete a minimum number of driving lessons (typically between 30 and 50 hours) before you can take the practical driving test. The test is designed to assess your driving skills and ability to follow traffic rules and regulations. You will need to demonstrate your ability to perform a range of driving maneuvers, such as parking, reversing, and changing lanes.
