  • What restricts me from testing with any 3rd party?
    You may not use a 3rd-party testing company if: You're required to take a review exam by the DLD You've been required to take additional hours of driving instruction by the DLD
  • Driver's Ed isn't finished yet. Can I still test?
    Answer: Yes You can take the test the moment you get your permit (not recommended). However, you still need to complete all the requirements. Age 19+, you can take the test during the 90 day holding period. At the DLD, all requirements must be completed & eligibility must be met before testing. In the assumption of passing, they have the ability to issue your license immediately.
  • How is the test graded? How do you fail?
    The test is graded based on a point system. You start with 100 points and in order to pass the test, you must achieve 80% or higher and cannot miss more than 20 points. Everything that you miss, or do wrong, you will be deducted a number of points, determined by the seriousness of the mistake. While it is a point system, there are 3 ways a person may fail. Point System Fail making random mistakes racking up to 21 points or higher. Quick Fail ​​​​​​​consistent bad/missed habits at least 3 or more times ​​​​​​​habits such as: ​​​​​​​late/missed headchecks late/missed signals rolling stops/stop over line 1-handed/underhanded steering poor control etc. Automatic Fail ​​​​​​​Dangerous Actions or Law Violations committed during the test. ​​​​​​​Dangerous actions such as: ​​​​​​​rolling onto a curb hitting any stationary object speeding in school zone or when children are present running a red light or stop sign driving on wrong side of the road turning from/into the wrong lane improper lookout etc.
  • Most Missed Habits
    1) Headchecks missed on turns - maneuvers - doing it late - forgetting altogether 2) Signals missed on pulling over to/away from the shoulder 3) Stops rolled stop - stopping over line - not sneaking forward 4) Onto Curb Having tires roll on top of the curb at any point during test. 5) Pull Ups Exhausting all tries allotted to execute a maneuver.
  • Who can bring me to take the test?
    Anyone who's licensed is allowed to bring you. Parent/Guardian, sibling, friend, neighbor. It would be a bit weird if it were a stranger... but hey, no judgement here!
  • Can someone ride with us during the test?
    Unless approved by the DPS, the State does not allow anyone in the car except the tester & examiner. Those who have come with you may wait in my office during your test.
  • How soon can I retake the test?
    Answer: The following day. The 2nd test of the same day will be immediately voided by the DLD. People have tried.
  • What are some tips to help my chances?
    There's no simpler answer than this: Consistent Practice 4 days a week (minimum) proper maneuvers & turns quick & decisive responses learning different intersections memorized order of operations awareness of surroundings spacing, timing & distance reading courtesy for others pushing your limits of control This helps you effectively think less about "How-To" & focus more on reacting to situations during the test. You don't think about how to move each muscle of your leg to take a step. Drive so much, your skillset becomes as simple & easy as walking.
  • What's the 3 Strike Rule? Do you follow it?
    If you happen to fail too many times at the DLD, you'll be required to sign off more driving hours with a licensed instructor. Once completed, you may ONLY go back to the DLD to retake the road test. 3rd-party road tests will no longer be a door you can walk through. We're not held by that rul, which means you may take the test beyond that limit, if necessary. Asking questions prior to the test can help you avoid this.
  • Will I get marked for things I was wrongly taught? "I didn't know"
    Yes. "A hot stove and you don't know, yet you'll still get burned if you touch it." you are marked for how you perform & what you do and don't do. If you're second-guessing what you've learned, ask questions to see if it's right. It's not your fault if you're taught incorrect, but it is your responsibility to doublecheck.
  • Do you offer Driver's Ed?
    Answer: No We are a Testing Only School, only providing the UT State Road Test for a class D driver's license. However, here's a list of approved driver's Ed companies: Driver's Ed List
  • Do you offer driving sessions?
    Answer: No That Includes: - behind the wheel hours for driver's ed. - private learning sessions.
  • Are there really 3 brothers?
    Sadly, no... There's actually 7 of us. 😁
  • Misconceptions about "good" drivers
    What determines your skill is a simple equation. Consistent daily practice + Applied knowledge of experience = particular skillset What isn't a viable skill evaluation? "I can drive on the freeway" "I've driven over ____ miles" "I've completed my driving hours" "My parents have me drive on road trips" "I drive long trips all the time" "I've driven for ___+ years" "I have a license in my Country" "I have an international license" "I have a car" "I'm better than my siblings" "I trust my child. . ." Go and improve your skill. The test will expose what you didn't work on.
