• Do I have to take one written test to pass driver education and another test to get a permit?

  • Drivers License > Education > Drivers Ed

  It depends on where you live. Currently four states (see grid below) allow students who have passed a driver education course, or are enrolled in a drivers education program at the time of applying for a permit, to bypass taking the written drivers license test. If you reside in one of these four states, your drivers ed school will provide proof for you to present to the DMV. Keep in mind that if you enroll in a driver ed online course, it may take longer to obtain proof.   ..

• 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!..

• Do I have to take drivers ed to obtain a drivers license?

  • Drivers License > Education > Drivers Ed

  It depends on where you live. Check your state in the grid below. Before you dive in, note that this grid only deals with the drivers ed requirements for applicants younger than 18. Too, even if your state doesn’t require drivers ed, it might require you to meet other criteria such as logging a certain number of hours practicing behind the wheel. We’ve noted such requirements, but be sure to double check with your driver licensing agency. Remember, if your state requires you to complete drivers education before you can obtain your drivers license (or, in some cases, your permit), be sure to get a list of state-approved courses. You might even find that your state allows applicants to take driver ed online, which is extremely convenient and time saving...

• Does my state require me to pass a teen driver course to obtain a permit?

  • Drivers License > Education > Drivers Ed

  Most do require drivers ed before applying for a drivers permit. Even if your state lets you study on your own and requires no official course, you can still enroll in a driver ed online class. This drivers education will help you learn the material at your own speed and thus pass the written test when it’s time to apply for a permit. And of course, knowing the road rules well will help you drive better when you have your unrestricted drivers license.  ..

• Is the cost to renew a permit the same as the cost to renew drivers license?

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

  Very few states charge the same amount to renew learners permit as they charge to renew drivers license. States expect permit holders to move on to the next stage of the licensing process (which is either another kind of drivers permit or the full drivers license) before the current permit expires. Moving on before the permit expires isn’t necessarily a requirement, but states try to provide plenty of time for drivers to prepare to do so. If a driver isn’t ready to move on, the state will do one of two things: Allow the driver to renew the learners permit. Require the driver to pay the expiration fee. In most cases this means paying the original permit fee (in some states it means starting the process over and paying fees for tests), but some states might have a separate..
