Missouri DOR Driving Test Info

Who has to take the written test?

Anyone who is getting their driver's license for the first time must pass the written test. Teens can take the test if they are at least 15 years old in order to receive their instruction permit, which they must hold for 184 days before they can take an on-road test to receive an intermediate license. (An intermediate license can be upgraded to a full license once they turn 18 without any additional testing.) If they're under 18 years of age, they will also need parental consent.

You do not have to retake the written test when you renew your license unless it has been expired for more than 6 months.

However, you are required to take a road sign recognition test (usually around 10 questions.)
