My drivers' ed classes were actually just across the border in a different state from the one I live in, so I had to take a painfully simple test to pass the classes themselves. One of the questions was a yield sign with the options a) stop sign b) yield sign or c) no right turn on red for what it meant. Then I took some AAA driving lessons to lower my insurance rates, then the driver's test, which was only difficult to me because it was a city and I live in the boonie countryside where stoplights are few and far between.
Honestly, the classes themselves weren't that painful, but only because there was a Dunkin' Donuts across the street and I got Christmas-sprinkle Munchkins and white hot chocolate in between night classes
