How to get a driving license in Korea: written test, function test and on-road test content, pass standards and study tips.
To get a driving license in Korea you must pass the written test, the function test and the on-road driving test. Here's what each involves.
1. License Process
The typical flow: medical check → written test → function test → on-road test → license issuance. Driving schools offer structured preparation.
2. Written Test
The computer-based written test covers traffic laws, safe driving and signs. You need 70+ out of 100 on 40 questions to pass. Repeat past questions and keep a mistake notebook.
3. Function Test
The function test is held on a course and evaluates starting/stopping, turns, slopes and parking. Make seatbelt use and turn signals a habit, and learn the deduction items in advance.
4. On-Road Test
The on-road test evaluates signal compliance, lane changes and safe following distance in real traffic. Scout the route beforehand and practise checking blind spots.
5. Study Tips
Use the Unjeon Pro app to practise written-test questions anywhere, prepare with mock exam mode, and drill weak areas with mistake review.
