Get HourglassHow many hours do you need to drive with a learner's permit in Arkansas?
Arkansas does not set a minimum number of supervised driving hours. Most driving instructors still recommend about 50 hours, 10 of them at night, before the road test.
How many hours a week is that?
Spread over 6 months, 50 hours is about 1.9 hours a week. The calculator above adjusts the pace to the hours already driven and your test date.
What counts as night driving?
Driving between sunset and sunrise. Hourglass counts it automatically from the real sunset and sunrise where each drive starts.
Where do I check the official Arkansas rules?
On the Arkansas DMV (or Department of Public Safety) website. Requirements change, and some states lower the hours after driver education.
Requirements as published in 2026 (IIHS graduated licensing table). Always confirm on the official Arkansas website. Hourglass is a log book, not legal advice.
