Students may take their state-mandated drive test with us rather than at the BMV. We offer convenient times after school or Saturdays. The cost to take the test with EXCEL is $45. There is no charge to take the test at the BMV, but it can only be taken during the Bureau's normal business hours, and there is often a waiting list.

To be eligible to take the drive test with EXCEL, students must have passed EXCEL's online classroom and six hours of behind- the-wheel training.

Your registration is being submitted. We thank you for your patience.
