Nevada DMV Test Day: What to Expect
On test day, you'll show identification, pay your fee, and sit for the knowledge test. Here's exactly what happens, how it's scored, and what to do if you don't pass.
Test format and scoring

Nevada administers the knowledge test on automated testing equipment at the DMV, but a paper version is also available.
