What is the Pass Mark for the Jamaica Written Driving Test?

Before sitting your Jamaica Written Driving Test at a Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ) examination centre, it is important to know exactly what score you need to pass — and what happens if you do not reach that score.

The Pass Mark is 75%

To pass the Jamaica Written Driving Test you must score at least 75%. This means you need to answer approximately 24 out of 30 questions correctly to receive your provisional learner's licence from TAJ.

What Happens if You Fail?

If you score below 75% on the Jamaica Written Driving Test, you will need to retake the test at a TAJ examination centre. You will need to pay the test fee again and wait for the next available appointment. There is no limit on how many times you can retake the written test, but each attempt costs time and money — so thorough preparation is essential.

Which Section is Hardest?

The Jamaica Written Driving Test has two sections:

• Traffic Signs and Signals — Many candidates find this section challenging because Jamaica has many signs that look similar but have different meanings
• Rules of the Road — Right of way questions and defensive driving rules are the most commonly failed areas

Most candidates who fail the written test do so because of traffic sign questions or right of way rules — not because of lack of general driving knowledge.

Tips to Score Above 75%

• Study every traffic sign in the official Jamaica Highway Code — do not skip any
• Practice right of way rules at junctions, roundabouts and pedestrian crossings until they are automatic
• Take timed mock exams so you are comfortable with the test format and time pressure
• Score consistently above 85% in practice before booking your real TAJ written test
• Pay special attention to speed limits — built-up areas, highways and school zones all have different limits
