Where to take your written test in Broken Arrow

In Broken Arrow, you take your written knowledge test at the Broken Arrow Driver License Exam Station, located at 808 South Main Street. This is the only testing location in Broken Arrow itself, though you can also test at other Oklahoma exam stations if you prefer a different location.

The exam station is open Monday through Friday. Hours vary by day, so call ahead at the station or check the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety website to confirm the current schedule before you go. Arriving early in the day typically means shorter wait times.

You do not need an appointment for the written test — it operates on a first-come, first-served basis. Bring all required documents with you on your first visit, because you cannot test without them.

Key Takeaways

  • The Broken Arrow exam station is at 808 South Main Street and is open weekdays only; call ahead to confirm hours.

  • The written test has 50 questions, you need 40 correct to pass, and results are available when ready after you finish.
  • If you fail, you can retake the test the same day or return another day; there is no waiting period between attempts in Oklahoma.
  • The test costs a fee that varies; confirm the current amount when you call the station.

What documents you need to bring

Bring your learner's permit — the temporary permit you received when you passed your written test or when you applied for one. You also need a photo ID, such as a passport, state ID card, or school ID with your photo and signature. If your school ID does not have a signature, bring a second form of ID.

You must also bring proof of residency: a utility bill, lease agreement, mortgage statement, or government mail with your current Oklahoma address. The document must show your name and address and be dated within the last 60 days. A bank statement or insurance bill works if it meets these requirements.

If any of your documents show a different name than your current legal name — for example, if you changed your name after marriage or through a legal process — bring documentation of that change as well, such as a marriage certificate or court order.

What to expect during the test

The written test contains 50 multiple-choice questions about Oklahoma traffic laws, road signs, safe driving practices, and right-of-way rules. You have 30 minutes to complete it. You need to answer at least 40 questions correctly to pass.

The test is administered on a computer at the exam station. You will sit at a testing terminal, read each question, and select your answer from the choices shown on screen. The computer will not let you go back to change previous answers, so read each question carefully before you select.

Testing staff will give you scratch paper and a pencil if you want to take notes while you work through the test. You cannot bring study materials, phones, or other devices into the testing area.

How you receive your results

Your results appear on the computer screen when ready after you submit your final answer. If you pass, you will receive a printed score report and your learner's permit will be updated to show that you have passed the written test. This updated permit is what you need to schedule your road test.

If you do not pass, the screen will show your score and which topic areas you missed most questions on. You will also receive a printed report. In Oklahoma, there is no waiting period between test attempts — you can retake the test the same day if you wish, or you can study more and return another day.

Keep your printed score report in a safe place. You will need to bring it or your updated learner's permit when you schedule your road test.

Retesting and what to do if you fail

If your first attempt does not result in a passing score, you can take the test again when ready. Many people retake it the same day after reviewing the topics they found difficult. You do not have to wait days or weeks between attempts.

Before you retake the test, review the Oklahoma Driver's Manual, focusing on the areas where you lost the most points. The manual is free and available on the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety website. You can also study using practice tests online or through study apps designed for Oklahoma's written test.

Each time you retake the test, you pay the testing fee again. There is no limit to how many times you can retake it, so keep trying until you pass.

After you pass: scheduling your road test

Once you pass the written test, your next step is to schedule your road test at a testing location. You can schedule your road test at the same Broken Arrow exam station or at another Oklahoma location. Road tests are typically scheduled weeks in advance, so book as soon as you pass your written test if you want a specific date.

To schedule, call the exam station or visit the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety website. You will need your updated learner's permit and proof of vehicle ownership or a letter from the vehicle owner giving you permission to use the car for the test.

Before your road test, practice driving in different conditions — residential streets, busier roads, parking, and backing up. Most people spend several weeks practicing after they pass the written test.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I take the written test at a different location instead of Broken Arrow?

Yes. Oklahoma has exam stations in other cities, and you can test at any of them. However, you will still need to bring the same documents and follow the same rules. If you live closer to another station or prefer its hours, you can test there instead.

What if I lose my learner's permit before I take the written test?

Contact the Broken Arrow exam station or the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety to request a replacement. You will need to pay a replacement fee and bring your proof of identity and residency. Once you have the replacement permit, you can schedule your written test.

Do I need to study the entire Oklahoma Driver's Manual?

The test covers material from the manual, but most questions focus on common driving situations, traffic laws, and road signs. Study the sections on right-of-way, speed limits, parking, and what different signs mean. Practice tests online can help you focus on the topics that appear most often on the actual test.

What happens if I pass the written test but fail the road test?

Your written test result stays valid. You only need to retake the road test, not the written test. You can schedule another road test appointment and practice more before your next attempt.

How long is my learner's permit valid after I pass the written test?

Oklahoma learner's permits are typically valid for one year from the date of issue. Check your permit card for the expiration date. If it expires before you pass your road test, you will need to renew it before you can schedule or take the road test.
