• 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..

• I aced the practice test, but how many of the state's driving test questions do I have to answer correctly to pass?

  • Drivers License > Practice Tests > Drivers License Practice Tests

  Congratulations! The grid below will tell you how many driving test questions you must answer correctly on your state’s DMV test in order to pass and become one step closer to earning your drivers license. Keep in mind that if that was the first practice drivers test you took, it’s wise to take a few more before you take the actual DMV test. The more practice you get, the more likely you are to pass the real drivers test. You can find additional practices tests: On your state’s DMV Web site. In your driver handbook. From your driver education instructor. From a third-party provider. Good luck!..

• 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...

• How many practice hours must I complete behind the wheel once I pass the driver's permit test?

  • Drivers License > New Renewal Duplicate > Learners Permit And Drivers Permit

  Once you pass your drivers permit test and are armed with your learners permit, it’s time to hit the road to get some behind-the-wheel experience. In many states this practice time with the drivers permit is a requirement; however, just how many hours you need to log before you can get your drivers license depends on your state and, in some cases, your driver education program. Check your state in the grid below to find out how many hours you need to log before you can apply for your full drivers license. Keep in mind that some states require a certain number of those hours to take place under specific conditions (such as nighttime or inclement weather); be sure to consult your driver handbook or a clerk at your state’s driver licensing agency...
