How long does it take to take a driving test?

I’m trying to schedule my driving test for next week, but it’s also the state regionals for my basketball team. I can’t afford to miss practice or a game, but I really want to get my license. How long does the driving test take?

Finding a time to take your driving test is tricky, especially as a busy
teenager
. But the exam itself should be quick!
It takes roughly 15 to 30 minutes to take a driving test. The major factor in how long the test takes is how busy the DMV is. If the examiner has several other lessons during the day, your test is often shorter than if you’re the only driving test of the day.
Taking the test first thing in the morning or in the afternoon is the best choice. According to research, your chances of passing the test increase during these timeframes. Just remember your training, take a deep breath, and you’ll do fine!
Although you’re busy, you can’t legally get behind the wheel without car insurance, even if you have your license. The good news is that
