    Ok parents read up. While DMV drive test is $45, Pacific will charge you $85 (2025) for your…read moreconvenience. It is convenience and sounds smart to expense to avoid DMV. Make sure you can't be sick and reschedule. Your urgency is their business. Anyway if you are ok with their price and if you pass the test, it's worth it. Otherwise let's talk money, you pay $85 again. Your luck, their call. Tips- the girl at the counter is very nice and friendly. When you pay to schedule, ask her for test evaluation sheet so you have a clue what your kid will be doing. They will not offer that info automatically (almost like because they kinda want you to fail and pay another $85 to reschedule). I asked so she kindly explained the rule that you can fail "minors" up to 8 points and still pass. But "major" faults is a 1 time thing-- such as red light, stop sign violations, or anything that makes the examiner step on brake (yes they have brake on passenger side!) it will cause you exit the test right away. Another thing you should know, unlike at DMV you do not get to drive your car that you are familiar with. They only have Kia and it's gas. If you are used to EV pedals make sure you borrow grandpa's gas car for a day. I minus one star for just that. On the day you might have 2 examiners, one new and one supervisor in the back. The exam is quick like 20 minutes around town. Mostly about intersections, change lanes, using signals. No highway (disappointed). No parallel parking (very disappointed). Please please teach your kids to be proficient in parking for their own sake. After all it's NOT hard to pass. If your kid has been driving with you daily for at least a year, you shouldn't be worried at all. $85 is good investment and worth not to deal with DMV attitudes.

    (don't pay too much attention to the other 1-Star reviews here, they are both from botched…read morescheduling issues and one wasn't even the company's fault. Their reviews have nothing to do with the actual drive test, so below is my FULL experience with SODE in Hillsboro) I can't say enough about how great my experience with SODE in Hillsboro was. I took my driver's test on 05-21-2026 with examiner Liz Harris, and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND choosing Ms. Harris as your examiner as well. First, I was able to schedule an appointment with them online immediately. I decided I wanted to take my test as soon as possible, and started looking for open spots on 05-20-2026 fairly late in the evening. I was able to schedule my test for the very next day!! And they had multiple spots open to choose from. The business was easy to find, clean, and very professionally setup. They have nice, clean, easy to drive company cars that you can use if you do not want to use your own vehicle, and that's what I chose to do. But, they make the process of using your own vehicle very easy as well, so long as it has good tags, insurance, and passes the inspection (blinkers, break lights, horn, clear windshield) nothing too crazy, just the standard stuff and you're good to go. I used one of their cars, and it was a great make and model for a drive test, large clear windows, no huge blind-spots, just a very smooth, comfortable ride. Liz Harris was my examiner and she was great at helping me to calm my nerves!! She was very professional, very specific and clear with her instructions, and made everything go quite smoothly. She didn't try to trick me or surprise me with unexpected instructions. She conducted herself like a true professional and didn't have crazy high expectations, nor did she make things too easy. It was a matter-of-fact, straightforward, professional experience. Basically, if you're prepared for your test and have done the work to know what you're doing on the road, there's no reason why you shouldn't pass!! Again, Liz Harris is highly recommended!!
