The test has 2 phases and it will be discussed along the line. It consists of road tests and knowledge tests.

How the Test is Run

Taking the test if you are above 18 years: Although many people acquire their license while still in high school, some take a halt on getting the license. If you are among this set of people, these are the tests you will take and this is how you will take them.

1. The knowledge and vision test should be taken to get a temporary permit: Before you can get a permanent driver’s license, you must first pass the vision and knowledge test. Whether you are 18 or not you would need a permit before taking to the road and before getting a driver’s license. These tests are taken at the bureau of motor vehicles (BMV) driver station for exams. There’s no need to organize a test time. Close locations are available for you to go and provide your full name, date of birth, and social security number.  The vision test is very direct and all you have to do is to read the numbers and letters correctly to make sure you have a proper and suitable range of view. This test is made up of 40 numerous choice questions. They cover regulations for motor vehicles, traffic signs, and rules. You will have to get exactly or more than 75% to pass this test. If a participant fails, he/she can take the test again in the next 24 hours. Immediately after you pass, you will have to go over to the local deputy registrar license agency to collect your temporary instruction permit identification card.

2. The road test: After you have gotten your TIPIC and have trained on your skills in driving, you will then schedule or set up a time that you will take the test for the road by using BMV Online Services and then get in touch with the local driver exam station directly. Items needed to take the test are your TIPIC and a vehicle that is not in a bad operating condition. There are 2 sections to the road test and they are the driving and the maneuverability.

• Maneuverability: the examiner for the test would drive to the front and to the back through markers to put your manoeuvrability skills to test. Now, you will have to ride frontwards through a box that has 4 markers that are 9 by 20, you can either move to the right or left of a marker that’s at the center. Continue to drive till the bumper at the back is even to a center marker. Make sure you back up past the center marker and then back up into the box containing 4 markers. If you hit the markers that will result in failure. You would also have points deducted for miscalculations and mistakes.
• Driving: there are eight skills that have to be performed well in this section and they are Braking, acceleration, turning round, backing up, maintenance of a safe following distance, driving in the right lane, using vehicle turn signals, and turn performance. If your skills do not match up to these and ate not enough to get a pass mark, you can retake the test in the next 7 days but failure for 4 times straight means you will have to wait for six months before you take it again.

You can also take the tests if you are under 18 but you will take an Ohio drivers ed program in order to get a drivers ed certificate that will enable you to carry out the tests. All these will be done after taking the knowledge and vision test. Hold TIPIC for 6 months or until you turn 18.
