Road Test Locations

Find nearby Minnesota exam stations to schedule your road test.

These locations are all within roughly one hour of Eastview High School and are commonly used by ReadySetDrive! students.


Closed Course vs. Public Streets

Understanding the difference between test types can help you choose the best fit:

  • Closed Course:
    The test happens on a dedicated driving course owned by the exam station.
    No regular traffic. Maneuvers are predictable and controlled.
  • Public Streets:
    The test takes place on real city streets.
    You will encounter actual traffic, signs, signals, pedestrians, and more real-world driving conditions.

Both options are equally valid and accepted by the DVS.

Students typically choose based on comfort level and test availability.
