The previous response is 100% spot on. The only thing I want to add is to be sure your research the hell out driving schools before taking lessons an whether you can use their safety vehicle to do your road test.
The biggest thing you need to research is what is the standing, rating and certification the Department of Motor Vehicles has given the school. Also, find out about complaints. A lot of schools are unlicensed and there may be a good reason against them. Always ask the department who they recommend.
One recommendation you should look into in a large city is driving schools run by ex-examiners with department of motor vehicles. These instructors wrote the test and or the rules for the driving portion and know what they need to do to have a student succeed and get their license. They exist in most large cities and I would look hard at those.
Aside from that see if there any web sites out there like in Canada where they give you the ability to practice with the types of questions asked on a written test. They are always helpful.
I don't know where you are from but in certain parts of Canada you can't get your license at 16. What you get to do is a written test about driving rules and pass it without errors. They give you a G1 license so you can take driving lessons or drive on non-highway with a licensed driver at certain hours.
They'll take it away and put you in jail if you consume drugs and alcohol if they pull you over with any level. After a year to 2 of G1 you get G2 where you drive with licensed driver, same drug/alcohol deal and can drive on HWYS and at Night. Then you get to go for the full G. They make sure here that people really know their stuff before a full license is ever given. They can yank your G1 or G2 here for inactivity too. You have to get between levels and tested in a period of time.

This is a hard question to answer for several reasons.
Some states have laws requiring a certain amount of hours with a licensed instructor before you can test. Each state's requirements will be different. When you do test that instructor is certifying the student has passed the minimum requirements required by the state. Here is the kicker; each student is different. Some will get the requirements within the required time . Others will need more time before the instructor will certify them.
Some state do not require a licensed school and then it is up to whoever is teaching you to drive. In these states many have a rule that if you flunk your test you have a waiting period before you can test again. This is done to discourage those not really qualified to test but think they know enough to fool the examiner.
The real answer to this question is to check with the department of driver's licensing at your state's Department of Motor Vehicle Administration. You may also find the answer in the drivers handbook you receive when applying for your learners permit.
