What to when you Fail the Virginia DMV Drivers Knowledge Test
Students under age 18 that fail the general knowledge test three times:
If you complete the required classroom portion of driver’s education (consisting of 36 fifty-minute classroom sessions) after you fail three times, you may present the certificate of completion such as a DEC-1, (from the public or private school) or DTS 36 (from a DMV-licensed driver training school) to satisfy the three-times failure.
If you complete the classroom component of driver education before failing the knowledge test three times you may take the eight-hour driver’s manual course online or in person to satisfy the three times failure.
You must provide your certificate of completion such as a DEC-1 (from the public or private school) or DTS 36 (from a DMV-licensed driver training school) to the email address of the school that will be providing the Driver’s Manual course before you enroll in the Driver’s Manual Course.
Students age 18 or older may complete an 8-hour Driver’s Manual course, either in a classroom or online. This 8-hour course is based on the Virginia driver’s manual and is designed to better prepare individuals for the knowledge test. The online course must be completed through a DMV-licensed online driver training school. You can find a list of schools offering this course at Driver’s Manual Course Training Sites.
Note: The completion date of the driver’s manual course must be after the date of your third knowledge test failure.
When you have successfully completed either the classroom or online version of the Driver’s Manual course and have provided DMV with your certificate of completion, you can retake the general knowledge exam.
