Driver's License Test Prep
Oregon Practice Licensing Process

Which of the following lets DMV waive the Oregon drive (behind-the-wheel) test?

  1. A.
    You surrendered an out-of-state license that expired more than one year ago.
  2. B.
    DMV has proof you completed an ODOT-Approved Driver Education Course within the past two years. Correct
  3. C.
    You have completed 100 hours of supervised driving experience.
  4. D.
    You have held an Oregon instruction permit for at least six months.
The Why

The answer is "DMV has proof you completed an ODOT-Approved Driver Education Course within the past two years."

DMV may waive the drive test in only two situations: (1) you are a new resident surrendering an out-of-state license valid or expired less than one year, or (2) DMV receives proof you completed an ODOT-Approved Driver Education Course within the past two years. The other options confuse Oregon's under-18 Class C licensing prerequisites (permit-holding time and supervised driving hours) with waiver criteria, or invert the new-resident timing rule.

Why the others miss

The traps in the wrong answers

A. You surrendered an out-of-state license that expired more than one year ago.

The new-resident waiver requires the surrendered out-of-state license be valid or expired less than one year, not more. This answer inverts the 'valid or expired less than one year' timing limit on the new-resident waiver.

C. You have completed 100 hours of supervised driving experience.

The 100-hour rule is a Class C licensing prerequisite for applicants under 18, not a drive-test waiver condition. This answer confuses the under-18 supervised-driving-hours licensing requirement with the drive-test waiver criteria.

D. You have held an Oregon instruction permit for at least six months.

The 6-month permit rule is a licensing prerequisite for applicants under 18, not a drive-test waiver condition. This answer confuses the under-18 permit-holding requirement for getting licensed with the drive-test waiver criteria.
