I'm curious about the written part of the driver's test. The one when you get your permit and study the book, and when passing it you can legally drive with a parent or whatever.
Soo.. about the test. Here are the questions..
1) How long is it? (Approximate number would be excellent)
2)[From your opinion] Is it Easy, Moderate, or Hard?
3) How long did it take you?
4) What kind of questions were on the test? Were there any tricky unexpected ones, or purely common sense?
I'm curious because I am about to take it soon and I want to be prepared. Any response would be greatly appreciated. But write back ASAP -- I'm planning on taking the test this weekend (most likely.)
Thank you!!
P.S. - This probably applies to some [maybe all] states, so if you have noo idea what I am talking about don't bother giving advice.
And it would be GREAT if people from Ohio (where I live) answered since tests are different from different states. Other states are acceptable (Points won't be deducted from that) but I much prefer people who live in Ohio.

I believe that when I took it, it was 30 questions and it took about ten minutes. It's nothing to stress over at all. It's completely strightforward. No tricks. Nothing that wasn't in the book. I got one question wrong and it was a silly mistake. The question was about what you're supposed to do when you come to train tracks and the gates aren't down. I think I put that you're supposed to stop, which you obviously aren't. It's definitely normal and natural to worry like you are, but once you get the test, you'll wonder why you spent one second of your time worrying. It's that easy. Good luck! :) [ sizzlinmandolin's advice column | Ask sizzlinmandolin A Question ]

I didn't, and I only missed 1- something stupid about how many feet a car took to stop. It would be a waste of your time and energy to stress over this. Just use your common sense- I promise, a 3rd grader could pass.

2. Oh, it's easy if you have common sense & you're familiar with the book. I had a question with a picture of a stop sign & it literally asked me what I'd do if I reached that sign. I only got one question wrong & it was "If you're going 40 mph, how many feet would it take before you could stop?" or SOMETHING along those lines, Honestly, I think that question was probably the only as-if-i'd-know-or-care question. But I'd say it's pretty easy if you know your basics.
3. The actual test took me 10 minutes I believe. Maybe shorter or longer. Again, I don't remember to clearly.
4. Basically questions about what signs mean & common sense questions. I do remember a question or two about the alcohol blood level, so make sure you study more than just the typical information. If you go over the book a couple times, you'll pass.
