About this course
Virginia learner’s permit or driver’s license applicants who fail the knowledge exam three times must successfully complete the applicable knowledge component of a driver’s education course, or an 8-hour Virginia driver’s manual/re-examination course before they can take the examination a fourth time.
Many students opt to complete this 8-hour driver’s manual course to satisfy this requirement.
2020 Driving School provides a comprehensive classroom course to review the details of the Virginia driver’s manual to help prepare students for the retaking of the DMV knowledge exam.
This happens to be one of our favorite classes to perform, as the success of our teaching is known immediately upon the student’s retaking of the test. To date, we’ve had a 95% success rate! Those that failed the knowledge exam for a fourth time returned and attended this class again, and all passed. Students pay for this course only once, and we will continue working with them until they successfully pass their exam, at no additional charge.
What's included in this course
During the class, students will be taught the content of the Virginia driver’s manual in a fun, engaging environment.
Students are challenged with visuals to help better identify the different types of road signs found on Virginia’s roads, safe driving techniques and current driving laws.
Currently, 8-hour driver’s manual courses are held at both our Fredericksburg and Stafford locations. If you have a special scheduling request, please contact us directly at 540-841-6327.
Reasons for Having to Attend
Failing the knowledge exam
If you have failed the knowledge test three times and are age 17 or over, you must either retake the classroom component of driver’s education (consisting of 36 50-minute periods), or complete an 8-hour driver’s manual course (this class).
The driver’s manual course is an 8-hour course based on the Virginia driver’s manual and is designed to better prepare individuals for the knowledge test. The completion date of the driver’s manual course must be after the date of your third knowledge test failure. When you have successfully completed either the classroom component of driver’s ed or the driver’s manual course and have provided DMV with your certificate of completion, you can retake the knowledge exam.
The two-part knowledge exam is taken on a computer at a DMV customer service center or in classrooms at participating high schools and is available in several languages. The exam tests your knowledge of traffic signs, motor vehicle laws and safe driving techniques.
Exam questions are taken from information in the Virginia driver’s manual. Familiarize yourself with all the information in the Virginia driver’s manual to prepare for the knowledge exam.
About the exam
All ten traffic sign questions in Part One of the knowledge exam must be answered correctly before you can take the general knowledge exam in Part Two. You must score at least 80% on these questions to pass Part Two.
If you do not obtain a license/permit within six months of completing a knowledge exam, you will be required to retest.
