Do pass a vision exam
Pass a test on traffic laws and signs. The test comprises 46 questions and you need to clear at least 39 to get a passing grade. 3 chances are given to pass the test. If you fail, you must wait 7 days to retake it.
This costs $25 and the fee entitles you for three exams of any type within a year's time and this includes both the instruction permit and the driver license. If all the requirements are not met within the 12-month period, the application gets void and all steps must be re- completed.
If your application expires before you have held your provisional instruction permit for six months, you must return to DMV and re start the process with a new application. You are required to pay the application fee and fulfill all requirements. Take your instruction permit with you to DMV to gain a credit, for the time you have held your instruction permit and receive cumulative credit towards your subsequent provisional instruction permit to meet the six-month requirement before taking your driving test.
