Drive Test with 30 Minute Brush-Up
The test will happen in our vehicle. The 30-minute brush-up is a drive right before your test in which we refresh you on what to watch for and get you more comfortable in the car. (The test fee is included)
To legally and safely drive on the roadway, applicants must pass the Drive test, which requires achieving a score of 80 out of 100 points. During the test, an examiner ensures the vehicle's safety, observes the applicant's control, and verifies adherence to road rules. The passing score remains valid for one year. Applicants can use their car or a school car for the test, and all fees must be settled before the examination commences.
What you need to bring:
Picture ID (e.g., government-issued ID)
WA ID # (a number that starts with WDL and is followed by 9 randomly chosen alphabetical characters and numbers)
