How long on average does it take to pass the driving test?

I just got my permit and I’m already looking forward to having my license. I really want to practice as much as possible so I can pass my test the first time. How long does it take most people to pass the test?

Congratulations on getting your permit! And good for you for being so proactive. For most beginner drivers, passing the driving test takes around four to five months. The process includes around 40 hours of lessons with a driving instructor and 20 hours of practice.
Here are some tips to ace your driving test:
  • Take a lesson with a driving instructor or another licensed driver right before the test
  • Stay calm and remember that the first 30 seconds of the test are the most important!
  • Listen carefully to the examiner’s instruction and ask for clarifications while you’re learning
  • Be prepared for adverse weather by practicing your driving skills rain or shine
Happy practicing, and go crush that driving test! Once you get your license, you’ll need to shop for
