Complete and have your parent or guardian sign a Parental Authorization Affidavit, and pass a vision test. If you choose not to enroll in driver’s education, you will take the written examination now.This multiple choice test has 40 questions and you have to get 32 or better correct to pass. If you fail, you have to wait three days to retake the test and pay a $10 fee each time. Finally, pay the $25 fee.
