To prepare for the DMV written test, read the Oklahoma Driver's Handbook. Pay attention to road signs, parallel parking, turning, passing a vehicle, yielding the right of way, etc. Verify your knowledge with our practice tests or sign up for Premium, which offers extra resources to get ready for your exam.
The DMV written test has 20 questions. The questions cover different topics about driving, such as road signs, safe driving practices, and traffic laws. Carefully study the manual to enhance your chances of passing the exam.
For new drivers in Oklahoma, here are the driving restrictions based on the GDL program:
- Student Driver (No License) ? you can drive only when accompanied by a Certified Driver Education Instructor or a Public School Instructor.

Additionally, you can transport only one passenger (except for family members) unless a licensed driver at least 21 is seated in the front seat.
If you don't pass your DMV written test, you need to wait at least one day before retaking it. You must pay an added fee. Review the manual once again and concentrate on areas where you may need additional preparation to improve your knowledge for the next attempt.
