Driver's License Test Prep
Pennsylvania Practice Graduated Licensing

What must an applicant under 18 present at the Road Test to show the practice-driving requirement is met?

  1. A.
    A logbook stamped by a certified driving school
  2. B.
    A letter confirming your school enrollment
  3. C.
    A signed parent or guardian certification form (DL-180C) Correct
  4. D.
    The Parent or Guardian Consent Form (DL-180TD)
The Why

The answer is "A signed parent or guardian certification form (DL-180C)"

The proof is a specific form: the DL-180C, signed by a parent or guardian, certifying 65 hours of behind-the-wheel training. Candidates who signed a parent form with a parent back at the permit stage often carry the DL-180TD to the Road Test by mistake; the practice-hours proof is a separate form signed only after the 65 hours are logged.

Why the others miss

The traps in the wrong answers

A. A logbook stamped by a certified driving school

Certification comes from the parent or guardian, not from a driving school. This answer assumes a paid driving school's stamp is a more official witness to practice hours than a parent's signature.

B. A letter confirming your school enrollment

School enrollment paperwork is not one of the documents the examiner requires at the Road Test. This answer reaches for a school-issued document on the assumption that an institution's letter outweighs a family member's signature.

D. The Parent or Guardian Consent Form (DL-180TD)

The DL-180TD authorizes a minor to apply for the permit and has nothing to do with logged practice hours. This answer reaches for the parent-signed form already familiar from the permit visit, assuming the same form covers both permit consent and practice-hours proof.
