How is a driving test marked?
What kind of score do I need to get in order to pass my driving test in Virginia? It would help me a lot with nerves if I knew what to expect. If I know how the test is scored, it’ll be easier to tell if I’m failing. How is a driving test marked?

Driving tests are marked differently in every state, but in
Virginia
, you’ll pass if you make fewer than five driving errors and zero unsafe driving maneuvers. Some examples of driving errors include:- Speeding by less than 5 MPH.
- Not using your turn signals.
- Forgetting to check your mirrors or blind spots.
- Making a rolling stop.
- Changing lanes incorrectly.
Some things that will cause you to automatically fail include:
- Disobeying road signs or signals, including speeding by more than 5 MPH.
- Running into anything, whether it’s the curb or another vehicle.
