To book a driving test, you need an appointment at least 48 hours in advance, but no more than three weeks ahead of time. Before scheduling, ensure you meet all requirements. When your scheduled day arrives: -Arrive at least 15 minutes before your appointed time for the driving test. -Inform the nearest staff member about your skills exam, as branches currently have longer waiting times. A driving test is valid for two years or until your learner's permit expires, whichever comes first. At some point, take another driver's skills exam when your vehicle is roadworthy. The vehicle must be registered and clean. Registering the car beforehand can help pass this test. Driver Training Skills Test ProgramIf you have completed training with a licensed instructor in Indiana and are over 16 years old, you might be able to take the driving test with that instructor if they participate in a program with the state. Or, you could do it when applying for your driver's license at any branch office. You will need to pass the driving skills test if any of these situations happen:Your learner's permit has expired;You did not complete your training through an approved provider;Or,you did not successfully finish your driver training program. Elements of the Driving TestDuring this exam, focus on:Stay in your lane and signal when changing lanes. Be aware of the vehicle ahead to avoid a collision. If another car overtakes you, maintain speed and give them space to pass safely. Follow posted speed limits and be aware of traffic conditions. Keep an eye out for other drivers and be prepared to stop at intersections. Listen carefully and follow the flow of traffic. When parking, use your mirrors and check blind spots. Do not drive too slowly or make mistakes that will lower your score. You must wait seven days after taking a driving test before attempting another. If you fail three driving tests, you'll need to wait two months from the last failed exam date to take another. Your learner's permit will expire if it does so before being eligible for additional tests, and you'll have to retake a knowledge exam to renew it. For each failed knowledge exam, you'll need to wait until the next business day to try again. The road test demonstrates your understanding of safe driving by following traffic rules. To be eligible, you must complete the knowledge and vision tests at a driver testing center after practicing supervised driving for at least 6 months (for under 21s) or 3 months (for over 21s), or 20 days without GDL requirements. Make an appointment online or at a center to take the road test. A Safety Specialist will accompany you during a 10-15 minute drive in an off-road area or public road course. Backup cameras and parking sensors are permitted for use during the test.  \nHow to schedule test for permit. How to set up a driving test appointment. When can i schedule my license test.
