1. Satisfy the prerequisites
Regardless of the state, there will be legal prerequisites to taking the driving test and securing your license. These requirements often include:
-COMPLETING A DRIVER'S EDUCATION PROGRAM
-APPLYING FOR AND RECEIVING A LEARNER'S PERMIT
-COMPLETING A CERTAIN NUMBER OF SUPERVISED PRACTICE HOURS
While the specific requirements vary from state to state, there will be a standard to meet before taking the driving test. At least 6 months prior to your 16th birthday, research your state's requirements and get all your ducks in a row. Don’t be left without a license the day you come of age.
