On the day you take your Class D road test, you must fulfill several requirements:
If you are between 16 1/2 and 18 years old, you must have a driver’s education certificate electronically on file with the RMV from a licensed driving school or a high school program that is approved by the Registrar before you can schedule a road test. As part of the road test application, your parent or guardian must certify and sign, on the front of your license application, that you have also completed 12 hours of driving supervised by a licensed driver aged 21 or over.
Note: If your learner’s permit was issued on or after September 1, 2007, your parent or guardian must participate in two hours of the driver’s education curriculum (unless he/she has already attended within the past five years). You must also complete 40 hours of parent-supervised driving (30 hours if you completed a driver skills development program), pass a driver’s education final exam, and have a driver’s education certificate electronically on file with the RMV.

After the examiner inspects and approves the vehicle, the driving test will begin. Only you, the examiner, and your sponsor are allowed in the vehicle during the exam. The examiner will sit in the seat next to you; your sponsor must sit in the rear. No children or pets are allowed. If the examiner so authorizes, a language interpreter may also be allowed in the vehicle. You and your sponsor are not allowed to converse unless authorized by the examiner.
The examiner’s goal is to observe your driving performance. During a road test, you should be prepared to demonstrate your ability to:
In addition to judging your overall driving skills, the examiner will note how well you follow general good-driving procedures, including whether you:
