The test over here is REALLY easy like you wouldn't believe the questions they put in it.

"A policeman is flagging you down, what do you do?"
A.stop the car
B. speed up
C. Run the policeman over with your car

That seriously was one of the items in the test over here for the non-pro license.
No need to take a test for a students permit, just get the permit for a few months then you can apply for a non pro once you turn 17.
