You will be assigned a driving instructor and your first drive date/time before you complete your classroom instruction. Please be sure to enter the driving instructor's name and phone number into your phone so you can answer when they contact you to schedule your second driving date/time.

If you are at least 15 you can take the written test at the Department of Public Safety once you begin Driver’s Education and have completed the 10 hours of classroom instruction. If you have also completed your 6 hours of behind-the-wheel instruction, then the written test is waived and you need only to pass a vision test to obtain a Learner’s Permit.

Yes. You will have the driving instructors cell phone number prior to the start of any drive session. We ask that you contact the driving instructor via text message, as talking on the phone can be a distraction to the student driver. Only call in the event of an emergency. We ask that you do not call the student driver during their driving session, except for an emergency.

You must have taken Driver’s Education from a state certified program, such as Sooner State Driving School and have a Learner’s Permit for at least 6 months without accident or traffic convictions. A student under 16 year's old must have a driver's permit for 6 months and must have practiced driving for 50 hours (10 hours at night) in order to get their driver's license. Students under 18 years old must have a parent or legal guardian present or must bring a signed Affidavit of Driver Training Form, and take the Drive Test. You can sign up for the Drive Test here.

We encourage you to start the process early. Appointment times are often backlogged 5+ weeks.

Good News! We offer the Drive Test to any driver who has had a Learner’s Permit for at least 6 months without accident or traffic convictions. We can often schedule you within a few days or week notice, but it is always good to set up your appointment in advance. You can set up your Drive Test here. You can always take your drive test at DPS offices around the state. Click here to see those locations or book your appointment with DPS.

Absolutely! A lot of practice is required to become a good driver. We recommend that you drive with your parents or legal guardian (or anyone over the age of 21) as often as possible once receiving your Learner’s Permit. We also recommend our Drive Prep Bundle, which is a 1-hour private drive session on the same day, and just before your drive. We see a larger percentage of pass rates when you take the Drive Prep prior to the Drive Test. You can get more information here.

Most insurance companies give premium reductions for completing Driver’s Education, however, please check with your insurance company specifically.

Yes, the process for achieving a state certification is quite rigorous. After an OSBI background check, each instructor is required to sit in classroom sessions, ride along with other certified driving instructors, and pass numerous online and in-person written tests; they must also pass a behind-the-wheel driving test.

We accept cash, check, or money order when paying in person, or credit card when booking online. Checks should be made payable to Sooner State Driving School, and a phone number needs to be written at the top of the check. There is a $30.00 charge for any check that is returned to us for insufficient funds (NSF).
