The Minnesota Department of Public Safety Driver and Vehicle Services says that the written class D test will be available to take online starting this week.

The class D knowledge test is required for learners' permits and full driver's licenses and starting on Thursday, October 8th prospective drivers can register for the online test between 6 AM to 11 PM from Monday through Saturday.

Once the test begins you'll have 30 minutes to take the test and anti-cheating measures are in place, so don't even try. And you'll need to take the test with a parent or guardian present, you can get more details about the testing process here.

“Minnesotans, especially those living outside the Twin Cities, have been taking time out of their busy schedules to travel to regional exam stations for testing,” Minnesota Department of Public Safety Driver and Vehicle Services Director Emma Corrie said in a press release. “As we consider the colder weather months and continuing COVID concerns, an online knowledge test will allow Minnesotans to take the test at a convenient time in the comfort of their own home."

If you prefer to take the test in person, you can still do that at one of the 14 regional DVS exam stations.
