I've finally decided that I really need to start driving and get my license. I wanted to try and get it before the summer class I'm taking ends (I can't though because the first available appointment where I live is a week after), and the class ends in 6 weeks. So, I scheduled a test for August 10th, the second available appointment since it was a morning one and I usually work in the afternoon not the morning. Is that enough time for me to practice? How long did it take you?

I'd say 1 month or less.
I had the mandatory driving in Driver's Ed. And here and there my mom would let me drive.

I didn't. The country I was living in at the time, I just bought my licence. There are no tests if you're drinking buddies with the constable there.

I had to wait something like seven months between the time I got my permit and my license because I wasn't 16 yet, and there was some kind of law where you had to have your permit for 6 months. I'm not sure what the individual state laws are, especially depending on how old you are, but you might want to double check that.

The Canadian system is much different.
In Ontario:
You get your G1 which is basically your permit which means you can't drive alone. You have that for either 8 months (with drivers ed) or a year (without drivers ed).

So basically I had 8 months of 'training' before taking my road test. However, I think I only did the training in the last 3 months prior to taking the test.

Your poll is faulty. It took me between 6 and 12 months between getting my Learners and getting my Restricted.

Lets see here, when I turned 16 I got my permit. Then 1 month later I got my actual license.

So 1 month... yeah..

I realize I didn't put in 6-8,8-10 and 10-12 months...that was done on purpose.

By the way, I'm 18, I've had my permit for almost a year, and since I'm 18, there are no laws on how much I have to practice before I can take my test, the only requirement there is is that I take a 5 hour pre-licensing course which I did earlier this month.

Five years.

I was 16 when I got my permit, and I'll be 21 when I get my license. I just don't like to drive. *shrugs*
