How do I fast-track my driving test?

I just entered my sophomore year of high school and I’m eager to get my license. While I could take the driver’s ed course at my high school, I don’t want to wait an entire semester. How can I get my license faster?

If you want to bypass your high school’s driver’s ed class and fast-track your driving test, take a driving course at an accredited private driving school. The coursework and your behind-the-wheel instruction will be the same as if you took the class at your high school.
However, a private driving school will come with an additional cost. In most cases, private driving schools offer all-inclusive packages with a price tag somewhere between $200 and $800 depending on your geographic location.
The amount of time necessary to complete the course and take your driving class will vary. At most, it will take the same amount of time as your high school driver’s ed class. But you may be able to complete a program in as little as a month if you can schedule the state-mandated number of hours behind the wheel.
If everything goes to plan, you can take your driving test several months faster than you would at your high school. Once you pass your learner’s permit exam, a written exam, and the driving test, you can get your license!
Once you get a car, you’ll need to have car insurance before you get behind the wheel. Insurance can be expensive for new drivers, so make sure you shop around to find the best deals with the
