What happens if you fail your written driving test?

I’m nervous about my upcoming driving test. I know I have the knowledge to pass it, but I tend to overthink when I take exams. What would happen if I failed my written driving test?

Teens
and first-time drivers usually get anxious about driving tests! If you fail your written driving test, you can take it two more times—often one business day later. So, try not to worry too much!
However, if you fail the written test three times, you will have to start the process over. This includes taking 30 hours of coursework to brush up on your behind-the-wheel knowledge.
Just make sure to study before the written exam. When test time comes, take your time. If you eat a nutritious meal about an hour beforehand, this will improve your concentration.
Even if you have to retake the test, you’re still learning more about driving and becoming more confident! Just make sure that you shop around for car insurance with the
