• Do I have to take a license test or driving test to obtain an IN drivers license?

  • Drivers License > New Renewal Duplicate > Drivers 18 and Older

  About the only way to avoid having to take an Indiana driving test is to have a valid drivers license from another state. Even in that case, you still must pass an Indiana vision and written license test. And, if your out-of-state license expired longer than three years ago - or you've had your driver license for less than a year - you must also pass the Indiana road test. Otherwise, if you've never been a licensed driver, you will have to take - and pass - all the mentioned tests. Appointments Necessary? Yes and no. You'll need an appointment for the road test, but not the vision and written tests. Practice Tests It's a good idea to take a practice test or two (available online) before attempting the written test. Doing so can help show you how ready you are for the official exam and..

• Do I have to take a written CDL test or driving test when I renew my commercial license?

  • Drivers License > New Renewal Duplicate > Commercial Drivers License

  A commercial drivers license (CDL) allows you to operate heavy motor vehicles (i.e. truck). You can also transport passengers (i.e. bus driver, van driver) at cost or free of charge after you gain your commercial license. State Test Requirements for Commercial Driver License Renewal Similar to how states require you to renew a regular drivers license, you must also renew your CDL. As a CDL driver and depending on the state you are licensed in, you might have to pass a written and/or a road CDL test to complete your license renewal process. If your state Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) office requires that you test to renew your CDL, make sure that you study the CDL manual and take a CDL practice test based on material in the manual. This will increase your chances of passing any required..

• Can I take my drivers license test or driving test on Saturday?

  • Drivers License > New Renewal Duplicate > Drivers License Test

  That depends on two factors: one, whether your state offers Saturday DMV hours, and two, whether the location you want to visit is one that provides driver license testing services during its Saturday hours. You’ll see in the grid below that many states offer Saturday hours; the problem is that most of those states only provide Saturday hours at select DMV locations. This means that whether you’re able to take a drivers license test or driving test on a Saturday depends not only on whether a location is open on Saturdays, but also on whether the location you want to visit provides testing on Saturdays. If the grid lists your state as one that has DMV locations open on Saturdays, the next step is to contact the location you want to visit, find out if it’s one of the..

• Do I need to make a DMV appt for my written drivers license test or driving test?

  • Drivers License > New Renewal Duplicate > Drivers License Test

  Drivers License Test Appt Requirements As you’ll see in the grid below, most DMV (or each state’s equivalent) locations either allow or require an appointment for the driving test portion of the drivers license test; some even make appointments for the written knowledge exam you must take before you can take the driving test and get your drivers license. NOTE: Even if your state requires a driving test appointment, you might not have to make one if you took a drivers education course and the instructor administered the test, or the state waives the requirement. And, if you didn’t have any driver training, consider enrolling in a course to increase your chances of passing the driving test on the first try...

• Can I download a booklet or drivers manual to prepare for my drivers license test?

  • Drivers License > Drivers Manual

  As you can see in the grid below, most states provide an online driver license booklet for applicants to download and use to both learn the states rules of the road and study for the drivers license test. Depending on your state, you might even be able to choose from different formats. For example, a state might provide a PDF version of its drivers manual (most states do), but it might also offer an HTML version to cut back on the time it takes to download. And, if your state is particularly savvy, you might even be able to download an audio version of the drivers handbook. Studying for Your Drivers License Test Your state’s drivers manual is one of the best resources available for preparing for your drivers license test. Not only do many states provide a practice test within the..
