<p>How hard is the written test? What questions do they ask on it? And was the driving test easy? Im taking the written test tomarrow</p>
<p>I took my driving test in a tiny town where we couldn't find two cars close enought to parallel park. It was pretty easy</p>
<p>sheeeeeeeet, you have to take a written test? All I had to do was drive, and its not that bad...just make sure you put some emphasis on looking both ways, move your whole head</p>
<p>i uhm got the max questions wrong on my permit and the written test</p>
<p>i thought the driving was the ez part</p>
<p>if you look competent they might take you out for a shorter spin</p>
<p>the ny written test (which is taken to get a learners permit) was easy. there were 20 questions, most of which were on the nys dmv website. the other questions essentially were like "what is this big red sign, and what do you do when you see it?" no kidding, that easy.</p>

<p>If you've read the handbook, not too hard. Look at all the people around you driving and remember: if they all could pass the test, so can you.</p>
<p>i failed 2 times because of parallel parking. I don't think I'll ever get my drivers license.</p>
<p>fortunately i didnt have to do that for my driving test , even though i had to parallel park several times since</p>
<p>Do you mean the written test at the end of driver's ed., because that was not very difficult, like matt30 said if you've read the handbook, it's not too hard. My driving portion was interesting. The maneuvers that I was asked to do were easy and simple, but I was driving in Worcester and in the rain so the conditions sucked. And if any of you have driven in worcester, MA you'd know what I was talking about. The thing is every person giving the exam is different, and every state is different, so asking this kind of question on a global board is not going to give you a good idea of what to expect.</p>
<p>In Driver's ED, I got the max wrong on the final test. In MD, you only take written test to get your permit. If you get the first 16 questions right, the test stops. Its on pc. I got 1 wrong, so I answered 17 questions and passed. That was the 2nd try, I didn't pass the permit test the 1st time. To get your license, you drive around on a course, with parallel parking, 3-point turns, ect. I passed on the 1st try, but I don't know how bcause I can't parallel park now to save my life. I haven't done it since then, and it ws about a year ago. Oh well, none of it is bad. But what was really bad was that I was more worried about these tests than the SATs!!!</p>
<p>^haha, dont you hate those man...because it tells you right there if you got it wrong or not....I remember I was on the last question and had 3 wrong already, actually knowing that that question was pass/fail</p>
<p>I had to take the written test to get my permit since I didn't take drivers ed...
basically I read the drivers manual through about three times.
I only missed two questions (both of which were badly worded questions with unclear answers).</p>
<p>The written test here in TN (which everyone has to take to get a permit) is actually failable. I know several people who didn't pass the first time, and I would have failed if I had missed 2 more questions. The reason for this is about half of the test consisted of "legal penalty" questions. For example, if you are on (insert drug here) and are caught driving, you go to jail for (insert time frame here)...etc.</p>
<p>Everyone in MD has to take a computer test to get their permit. You have to have a REALLY good reason to take it on paper. Vegan, why did it matter that you hadn't taken Driver's Ed yet? Most people get the permit and then take Driver's Ed. In MD, you have to drive with an instructor in Driver's Ed to pass the class, so it's good to have driving experience prior to that. It's not required to have your permit before you take the class here, but it just seems logical to do it in that order.</p>
<p>It depends on which state's test you're taking the test for, since they vary. For the CA test, they ask about blood alcohol levels, speed limits, driving conditions, etc.</p>
<p>They ask about the same things here. What else would they ask about, no matter where you live? If it pertains to good driving and it was in the handbook, then it's fair game for the test.</p>
<p>They let you drive before you have taken drivers ed, frostburg? Weird. Here in MN, you take drivers ed (not associated with school) and once you have completed the class, you take the "written" test (which is actually on the computer.) After you pas the test, you get your learners' permit, which allows you to drive if you have a licenced driver over 21 in the car with you. Before you can take your behind the wheel test, you have to do 10 hours of supervised driving with a liscenced instructor. It's weird how different the practices are from state to state.</p>
<p>Here in MD, the usual process is: take the computer test at the DMV to get your permit, drive with a licenced driver 21 or over for 60 over the required 6 months, take driver's ed outside of regular school sometime during the 6 months you have your permit, drive with driver's ed instructor for six hours in order to get driver's ed certificate, go back to the DMV and take the driving test in the car on a course at least 6 months after you get your permit. Some do driver's ed first, but most get the permit first. </p>
<p>What are the minmum ages where you guys are? In MD, it's 15 yrs, 9 months to get your permit, 16 yrs 3 months to get your provisional license, 17 yrs, 9 months to get your full license. They changed it in Oct 2005 from 15 and 9 months for the permit, 16 and 1 month for the provisional license, and 17 and 7 months for the full license. Being a bit older when you learn to drive is okay, but I don't know what difference 2 months will make with some people. It didn't make a difference with me anyway. I was 17 and 6 months when I got my permit, and 18 and 2 months when I got my provisional license. I get my full license in May of 2007. My parents felt 16 is too young to drive with me and my older sis.</p>
