- How the driving school exam works Theory
- Practice
An exam in a driving school is a kind of training for a cadet before the main exam in the traffic police. Here he will have to overcome his anxiety and demonstrate the acquired knowledge and skills in front of the staff of the educational institution. And the administration of the driving school must make sure that the student is ready to pass the traffic police exam.
How is the exam done at a driving school?
There are no general federal requirements for conducting an internal examination. Often it is carried out according to the internal regulations of the driving school itself.
The internal exam scheme is similar to the traffic police exam. First, the cadet performs a theory knowledge test. Then he shows his driving skills on the race track. Then he leaves for the city.
The theoretical knowledge and practical training of the student are assessed by the director of the driving school, who will be replaced by a traffic police instructor at the external exam.

Theory
Typically, to pass the internal theory exam, you need to solve 3 to 5 tickets, each containing 20 questions. That is, the total number of questions can be about one hundred. In this case, only 1 error is allowed.
The examiner may ask the cadet to complete an additional task, for example: explain in writing the meaning of markings and signs, talk about the design of the vehicle, or answer additional questions on medicine.

Practice
It is divided into two stages: performing elements on the racetrack and demonstrating driving skills in urban conditions.
At the race track, the cadet must demonstrate successful completion of all exercises, namely:
- Check into the garage. Passing this standard involves entering a certain limited space that simulates a parking space or garage. Successful execution is counted if the car is standing inside a limited space and no part of it protrudes beyond its limits.
- Parallel parking, or “mother-in-law’s pocket.” It is necessary to drive in reverse into a certain space marked with chips or flags. Simulates parking between two cars. Ideal execution implies the location of the car within the boundaries of the marked space, while not a single part of it should protrude beyond the designated boundaries.
- Snake. The exercise teaches you to feel the dimensions of the car. It is necessary to drive around all the signs (cones, flags) without dropping any, and not to go beyond the structure. You seem to be moving along a corridor, quickly turning the steering wheel from the extreme left to the extreme right.
- Turning around in a confined space. To perform this figure, you need to perform a 180 degree turn in the marked space. This is a kind of imitation of a U-turn in a yard full of cars. A useful skill that will certainly come in handy in the future.
- Overpass . The exercise simulates the start of a car moving at an angle. This is a very useful skill when driving in the city. A car drives uphill onto an overpass and stops at an angle. Then you need to put the car on the handbrake. Then you need to move off without rolling back and completely drive over the overpass, sliding down from it.
After passing the circuit, the cadet goes to the city with an instructor. This is an imitation of the final part of passing to the traffic police - going into the city with a traffic police inspector. After passing this stage of the internal exam, a final decision is made on whether the cadet will be admitted or not admitted to the state exam at the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate.
The internal examination is usually formal in nature. Almost all students are allowed to take the external exam at the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate.
If, nevertheless, the cadet is not allowed to take the exam, you can take a document confirming completion of training from the driving school and try to pass the exam at the traffic police privately. In this case, you will not be tied to a group from a driving school.

How to pass the exam at a driving school
Let's talk about what you need to pay attention to in order to pass the internal exam at a driving school.
Evgeny Loginov, head of the car selection company “My Expert”:
“These mistakes are banal and simple... Often it is inattention. It happens that students simply do not learn the theory and pass it at random. This is bad, because even if you don’t know, you can memorize this little book of 30 pages and answer with knowledge! Then the journey will be easier, and there will be no fear for the passengers.”
Pay special attention to the elements that are difficult for you on the race track and in the theoretical part. The internal exam is usually more difficult to pass than the external one. This was done intentionally so that the student could easily answer 20 questions at the state exam and confidently drive around the city, having previously passed the race track.

How to pass the internal exam
The driver candidate will have to demonstrate his theoretical knowledge and driving skills. To successfully pass the internal exam at a driving school in 2021, experienced teachers advise:
- When starting the theoretical part, first carefully review all the questions on the ticket. This action will help cope with anxiety.
- If a question seems unclear, it is better to skip and return to it at the end.
- Not being distracted by negotiations with other cadets may result in removal from testing.
- To delve into the meaning of tickets, and not just mechanically memorize the letters.
If the theory is passed successfully, the cadet is allowed to take the driving test. It is necessary to complete all the exercises required by the examiner within a limited time. An important condition is to follow the correct trajectory of movement. Penalty points are awarded for each mistake.
Is it possible to take exams at another driving school?
It happens that a driving school does not suit a cadet. You are taught poorly, your hours are not rolled back, you are not allowed to take classes in the city for a long time, you have not personally gotten along with the driving instructor, and the administration does not take any steps. And the time to pass the internal exam is getting closer and closer. And you understand that you will not pass the internal exam. What to do in such a situation? Is it possible to take the internal exam at another driving school? Unfortunately no.
If you are trained in one driving school, you cannot take the internal exam in another. The only thing that can be done in such a situation is to pick up the documents and go to study again at another driving school and take the internal exam there.

Traffic police exam without driving school
You will not be able to pass the driving test without completing the training course. There are situations when the internal exam at a driving school is passed successfully, but there is no opportunity to visit the traffic police with your group. You can do this yourself.
An applicant for a driver's license needs:
- Collect the necessary documents and pay the fee.
- Sign up for the exam at the State Traffic Inspectorate through the State Services portal or by visiting in person.
- Appear on the appointed day and get tested.
A car for the practice can be provided by the traffic police.
Another option is to study remotely. The student is provided with a personal account on the driving school website with tickets and access to educational programs. After studying the theory, you will need to take a test. Practical classes are conducted with an instructor as usual.
The time when you can take a driving test after graduating from a driving school is not limited.
Driving school exam deadlines
Exams usually last about two days. That is, the first exam in a driving school is theory, and the next day - the race track and the city.
If you fail, you can try again in 1-2 days. If you successfully passed the theory, but failed the stage, you only retake the circuit.
Typically, the internal exam is scheduled for the morning and takes place on average before lunch. The number of retakes is not limited, but you must pass the internal exam within three years. Otherwise, you will need to complete the training again.

What you need to pass successfully
Tatyana Varlamova, founder of the Auto-Chance driving school, Yekaterinburg:
“The main thing is driving practice. The instructor teaches the cadet how to move and, most importantly, how to think while driving. The driver must think 70% for himself and 30% for the situation on the road. In the last classes before passing, the teacher gives the student the same commands that he will have to perform in the exam, so that he is ready and can cope with them. During an external exam, even a perfectly prepared student can become confused. But the most important thing is not to be nervous. Perhaps this would be the advice. A lot depends on this.”
