DMV Permit Practice Test

Get Your Paperwork in Order – Not many things are worse than showing up for a big test, only to learn that you don’t have every piece of paperwork in order. Plan ahead by finding out exactly what you’ll need. If you need your birth certificate, for example, make sure you can easily get your hands on it for test day. You may also need a Social Security card, so make sure your parents or guardians have that. The driver’s-license office, or your driver’s-ed instructor, can tell you what else you’ll need, so talk with them and take care of things as soon as possible. Some paperwork and documents take a while to get to you if you need replacements, so don’t wait until the last-possible minute. Otherwise, you may have to reschedule your exam.
