Our three times failure / re-examination class covers the Virginia driver’s manual in its entirety, helping prepare you not only for your next test, but for the road ahead. After successfully completing this course, students are provided with the necessary documentation to provide to the DMV in order to take their exam again.

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.
