State Testing

​

Once you have completed the above requirements, you may start your state testing.

Testing is done at driving schools.  If you test at CWDS, you receive a discount.  We really recommend preparing for the tests!  Knowledge shortly after the class is completed so it is still fresh. 

 

Drive test:  Don't rush this!  Get experience, but comfortable.  Especially driving in town - turning at traffic signals!

​

  • There is no wait to start testing, but you must have completed driver education first.

​

  1. Knowledge Test: 40 question, multiple choice test.  Must get 32 right to pass.  All questions come from the Washington Driver Guide.  The test is $20 each attempt for our students.  3rd test free.

  2. Drive test:  Test is approximately 20 mins.  At this time, we can only do drive tests in our school vehicles until stage 4.  The cost is $40 for each attempt.

Driver Education never expires.  Can start testing when your eligible.  Licensing - whenever you are ready.
