UPDATE. Took the test today and passed no problem. Quite easy. My permit will expire when my 90 days are up though. I have 60 days left to pass my skills test and get my full license. Then it will expire and I can go back to the SOS when i get my EAD Card i believe and get it back. Thanks for the help everyone!!! :)

Practice as much as you can with your permit.  When Katya came over, she also had very little driving experience, so I helped her with the exam practice, she got her learners permit and we started driving practice.  She started slowly at first in parking lots, Metroparks, cemeteries, etc., then we moved to the roads around here.  We waited for the EAD before she took her driving exam by a private company.  She failed the first one as the instructor marked her off for a couple of minor issues that I thought was unfair, but hey, I guess that is his job.  So we practiced more, and a week later she took the exam from another company and passed.  We went back and got her full DL which we were under the impression would only be valid for the length of the EAD validity, but she actually got a full term license.  We did everything ourselves (except for the driving exam) related to practice and lessons and she was a good student, and I actually learned a bit more myself.  Now she is confident even around some of those big traffic circles like 14 and Orchard Lake, or Pontiac Trail and M5.

 

Good Luck!
