The Colorado learner's permit knowledge test is administered by the Colorado DMV. To get your permit, you must be at least 15 years old and pass a written test of 25 questions, with 20 correct (80%) required to pass.
The Colorado permit test is scored strictly, missing more than 5 questions means failing and rebooking. Practising under realistic conditions builds the recognition speed you need for road-sign and right-of-way questions, which make up the bulk of most state tests.

About the real test in Colorado
25 questions (20 correct, 80%), administered by the Colorado DMV. Permit holders need 50 hours (including 10 at night) of supervised driving before testing for a full license.
About the DMV Permit & Driver's, nationwide
Every state runs its own DMV permit test, but the underlying content is the same everywhere: road signs, right-of-way rules, and safe driving practices drawn from your state's own driver handbook. Most states require 25-50 questions with a 75-85% pass mark, and the exact numbers, and the graduated-licensing rules around your permit, vary state to state.
Study your own state's handbook, not a generic one
Sign meanings and right-of-way rules are mostly universal, but specific numbers, speed limits, following-distance guidance, and curfew or passenger restrictions for permit holders, are set by your state. A generic national guide will miss those.
Road sign shape and color carry meaning before you read the words
Red octagons mean stop, yellow diamonds mean warning, white rectangles mean regulation. Recognizing the shape and color first lets you react correctly even before you consciously read the sign.
Graduated licensing restrictions are commonly tested, not just road rules
If you're a permit holder, expect questions on your state's specific supervised-driving-hour requirement, nighttime curfew, and passenger limits. These trip up more people than the road-sign questions.
