Before you take the written test, take a short practice permit test to see if you know the material. (This isn’t a requirement, per se, but it will help you become confident that you will pass the drivers permit exam.)

Those younger than 18 must practice for six months with their driving permit, supervised by a licensed driver approved by your parents (or your parents), before attempting to take the driving test.
Those 18 and older may try the drivers license driving test at any time.
You must show valid auto insurance before you try the driving test, or the instructor won’t give you the test.
