What steps do I need to take to get my license?

I’m hoping to get my driver’s license within the next month or so but I’m not too sure how to proceed. I live in Orlando, FL where I’m required to take a Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education Course, which I’ve already completed. My next step is to take the written test but I don’t know how to study for it! I desperately need to have a car by the end of the year but I’m just so frustrated with myself. I’ve tried and tried to read the driver’s manual but the material is so dry and monotonous that I’m having a hard time getting through it as I keep getting lost in my own thoughts. Besides, my work schedule has been so hectic (working mandatory overtime every week) that, even if it were the most interesting material in the world, I still wouldn’t have the time to read it.

As soon as I’ve passed the written test, I’m going to enroll in a driving school for practical lessons.

What do I need to know for the written test and how can I study for it? Are there any online resources that can help me? How much studying would it take for a quick learner to pass the test? (I’m off on Thursday and I was hoping I could do a crash session tomorrow – Wednesday – and go in on Thursday for the test…not sure how realistic this is, but I won’t have another day off for a while).

The DMV book just isn’t doing it for me and I’m getting more and more frustrated with myself. Help!!

I asked a similar question a while ago, but this time I’m seriously desperate!
