How many questions are on the Delaware permit test?

The Class D knowledge test has 32 questions, and you need 26 correct to pass (see the Delaware DMV's written test page).

How do you get a Delaware driver's license?

If you're 16 or 17, pass a certified Delaware driver education course and bring your Blue/White Certificate to get a Level One Learner's Permit. For the first 6 months you must be supervised at all times by a licensed parent, guardian or approved driver who is at least 25 and has held a Class D license for at least 5 years, and your sponsor certifies 50 hours of driving, 10 of them at night. After 6 months you may drive unsupervised from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Your permit automatically becomes a Class D license after 12 months of valid driving authority.

Is there a Level 2 license in Delaware?

No. Delaware's graduated licensing uses one Level One Learner's Permit with two phases. For the first 6 months, you must be supervised at all times. After that, you can drive unsupervised from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., but between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. you need a supervisor unless you're driving directly to or from church, work or school activities. You can't use a cell phone while driving at any point.
