Michael Cline from Crowder College has kindly agreed to share their Driver Exam Resource Pack. This list of recordings, translations and guides can be helpful for any service providers looking for additional resources when preparing clients for the driver’s exam.
Additional information about Missouri driving exams:
Languages for Computer Exam:
Arabic, Bosnian, Chinese, French, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Vietnamese and English.

All of the above, plus German, Greek, and Italian.
The Missouri Highway Patrol plans to revamp the exam by the end of 2024, adding Dari, Pashto, Ukrainian, Swahili, and Kinyarwanda.
Interpreter Policy for Written Test:
Clients can have an interpreter for the written test, but it must be from the list of state-appointed interpreters, and they must schedule an appointment.
Interpreters are paid by personal expense and must use a state-approved interpreter.
You can contact the Missouri Highway Patrol for their list of interpreters in the language you need.
Vision Test Requirements:
Clients must pass the vision test in English with no help.
Someone may read the instructions on how the test is conducted, but no one may read the vision test to them in another language.
Written Test Attempts:
Clients may take the written test twice a day, every day until they pass.
They can request an interpreter at any time during the written test.
Driving Test Requirements:
Clients are not allowed interpreters for the driving test and must pass it in English.
Drivers can fail three times before they are required to do skilled driving time and fill out a driving log with someone over the age of 21 who holds a valid driver’s license.
Driving Manual Availability:
The Missouri State Highway Patrol only offers the driving manual in English.
YouTube could be a valuable resource for additional language translations of the manual.
