Drivers under the age of 21 are required to take the vision and knowledge tests.Additionally, transferring drivers will be required to take the knowledge and skills tests if any of the following conditions exist: * Applying for a different type or class of license. * 3 or more convictions of moving violations in the past 4 years. * driver s license or privilege to drive suspended, revoked, cancelled, or otherwise disqualified during the past 4 years. * a DUI conviction (drug- and/or alcohol-related offense) within the past 7 years. * any license restrictions which must be reevaluated to ensure the driver has the ability to drive safely.All applications are checked through the national Problem Driver Pointer System (PDPS).

You start from scratch since you only had a permit. You go to DMV and take the test, pass the eye test and then take the driver s test.
