Practice Drive Test

The Practice Drive Test is a great way to determine whether an eligible driver has the skills and ability to pass the Colorado Driver’s License Test. This is a great option for:

• Teens who are not sure whether they are ready to take their license test.
• Individuals who struggle with test anxiety or lack confidence in their driving skills.
• Adults who have not had their driving skills assessed for some time.
• Those who wish to improve their likelihood of passing their license test on their first (or next) attempt.

The practice drive test consists of a 20-minute drive that simulates the conditions of an actual driver’s license test. Your driving instructor will ask you to perform a series of driving maneuvers including merging into traffic, right and left turns, stops, lane changes and more. The instructor will assess your steering technique, vehicle control, and speed management among other skills.

Following the test, your instructor will give you feedback on those driving skills where you have demonstrated mastery, which ones require additional practice, and whether you are prepared to take your license test. The assessment is based solely on what the instructor observes during the Practice Drive Test, and therefore cannot serve as a guarantee that you will pass your license test.
