You may also need to take the Driving Test if you have recently moved to NSW.  \nThe Driving Test is a practical on-road test that focuses on your ability to perceive hazards and respond to them. A testing officer assesses your driving skills, decision making, your awareness of other road users and how you share the road.  \nDepending on what driver licence you have and the type of Driving Test you book, you may need to do a few things before your test.  \nLearner drivers need to pass a computer-based Hazard Perception Test (HPT) within the previous 15 months of their Driving Test booking. They also need to log at least 120 hours of driving, including 20 hours at night before they can do the Driving Test.  \nOther drivers may need to pass a Driver Knowledge Test or get a Fitness to Drive Assessment before their Driving Test booking.  \nBooking a test  \nWhen you are ready for the Driving Test book and pay:  \n• [online at](online at service.nsw.gov.au)[ service.nsw.gov.au](online at service.nsw.gov.au)  \n• by calling 13 22 13  \n• at a service centre.  \nTo change or cancel your booking, you must do this at least 48 hours before the test date or your fee may not be transferred or refunded.  \nWhat you must bring to the test  \n• Proof of identity  \nYour learner, overseas or full licence driver licence.
