The written exam is a 20-question test that will test you on Oklahoma traffic laws, road rules, road signs, and safe driving practices.

Written Test Waiver: If you have completed Driver Education and received your completion certificate, the written portion of your test will be waived. (Parent-taught Driver Education does not qualify to waive the written test). Bring a copy of your completion certificate to your visit to have the written test waived.
