Behind the Wheel

Behind the Wheel Requirement

Students are required to complete 6 hours of behind the wheel
Anoka Hennepin students complete 8 hours of simulation lessons, which count as 2 of their 6 required hours
Therefore, students will only have to complete 4 hours of behind the wheel

*Note* if you choose an organization other than Anoka Hennepin to complete your behind the wheel, it is up to that organization to decide whether or not they wish to honor the simulation hours you have completed. You may be required to complete the full six hours of behind the wheel.

PERMIT VALIDATION AND BEHIND THE WHEEL SCHEDULING

The majority of the district #11 driver education students take their written knowledge exam (permit test) before the end of each trimester.

Students who pass this exam will be issued a record of examination (RX) from the state examiner on the day of passing this test. It is important that parents and students understand that the RX is NOT a legal permit. Students cannot drive under any circumstances. Severe consequences for the parent and student could result if this is allowed.

Getting your official permit can only be accomplished at a state exam station or the license center where they will validate your record of examination (RX) and issue a temporary permit.
