License Tests

For an original driving privilege of any type or upgrade to a different class, you will need to take and pass three tests, they are Vision Test, Driving Knowledge Test and Driving Skill Test.

Vision Test - DMV will check your eyesight to confirm you can see well enough to drive safely. DMV conducts tests for visual acuity and field of vision. If you take the test while wearing glasses or contacts, your driving privilege will carry a restriction for corrective lenses.

Driver Knowledge Test - This test asks questions about road signs, traffic laws, and other information a driver needs to know. The driver manual includes all the information necessary to pass this written test. It is a multiple-choice test with 35 questions. To receive a passing test score of 80%, you must correctly answer 28 questions.

Knowledge tests are given on a touch-screen monitor. The test is available in several languages, with or without audio assistance. If you require a special accommodation to take a knowledge test, please contact your local DMV office.

Each test has a mandatory waiting period between failures. If you fail your Driver Knowledge Test, you must wait at least one day before trying again. If you fail your test four or more times, however, you must wait at least 28 days before taking the test again.

Drive Test - During the behind-the-wheel drive test, you demonstrate your driving skills and how you obey traffic rules, highway signs, and signals. The test includes turning, signaling, backing, lane changes, speed control, road courtesy, and general driving ability
