Lee, I really don't think it's wise to take the test without ever having driven a car with the steering wheel on the left. Why don't you apply for a learner's permit first then take the DL road test once you have practiced on the roads? You will need your own car and you will need proof of insurance in most states.
Cheers,
Leslie

We'd heard that sometimes if you already have a driver's license from another country, they don't make you take the test, but he had to take it anyway.
