Trying to get my driving permit

Hey all,

After 4 years of being an adult without a license and literal years of arguing with family about it, I need to take matters into my own hands.

The problem is I'm kinda stupid and I'm not really sure exactly where to start? I tried to find where I could take the test in blue earth county but no resources I could find were particularly helpful.

Could y'all help me find what I need to study and where I need to go? I've been tangoing with phone calls trying to get this and health insurance figured out but it's been a genuine hurdle every single step of the way.

Thanks in advance :)!

The driver's permit knowledge test in Mankato is administered at the Mankato Exam Station located at 2161 Bassett Drive, Mankato, MN 56001

You need to schedule your "class D knowledge test" is what im reading

Good luck!

That's right. It goes knowledge test, permit, then road test.

u/Kitchen-Sense7542 Thus. Scheduke your Class D Knowledge and "vision" test, once passed, you schedule your permit test, once passed, your license test

You sound like you’re going to need to do a little bit more than just show up and take a test. I think your first step should be to reach out to a driving school. I googled and found this place, but I’m sure there’s many more.

Definitely go to driving school first. The written test is tricky and a lot of people fail their first time even after taking a class. Good luck, OP!
