EXAM PRACTICE - TASK 1
The image demonstrates the various stages in acquiring a driving license in a particular state in the  US. 
Overall, there are at least seven steps in the process if the applicants pass all the requirements,  and additional steps may be mandatory if they fail any stages.
The first four steps decide whether an examinee is qualified for the test. The potential driver first needs to visit the license establishment to submit a filled form. Afterwards, they are required to pass an optical test in order to advance to the licensing procedures; otherwise, they cannot be furthered.  
The remaining steps involve payment and driving skill examinations. The contestant is obliged to  pay a charge before performing a written exam, which allows two failures before entering the next  step, otherwise they must pay the test fee once more to redo this exam. This is followed by a driving test, in which applicants who pass will receive their licenses, while those who fail must pay the charge again to re-enter the written examination phase.
