Well, I started learning about 2 years ago. Somewhere around July of 07', and later got my permit in November 07'. The permit is the easiest part. Learning to drive is simple, as long as you take into consideration what experienced drivers offer you. I had taken my road test in March of 08' and Failed. I allowed about 2 more weeks of practice, retaken it, Failed. I went back for a 3rd time a year later, forgot certain paperwork, 4th time was a charm. I had only gotten 5 points off, and was commended for my driving.
However, a friend of mine has been driving since October of 08', and just got her license 3 days ago.
It all depends on your skills really, and your ability to preform a road test for your driving instructor, which was the hardest part for me. I was an excellent driver, I just folded under the situation. Remain calm when you attend your first test, because that ultimately is the only thing that will pass you.
To answer your question, if you're well skilled, you should pass your first time. If you think you have enough practice in, I would schedule it probably about 2 months after you think you're ready to take it.
Note: I'm in NY, so that's from a NYDMV stand point.

When I was fifteen my mom took me to an empty parking lot and for about two hours she taught me. Then she let me drive in the somewhat busy street and then took me to a busier street. So I say ittook me about a day. But I had to wait until I was sixteen to get by real license but passed on the first try. Maybe cuz she let me drive with my permit al the time anyway.
Good luck. Be safe and have fun

Started learning at 16
Got my license at 17
I had maybe about 3 lessons?
I think I felt comfortable in my car after about 6 months of driving.

I learned enough basics to pass my driver's license course in about an hour.
However, driving throws new curve balls at you every mile, and it's a lifetime of learning new things. So, you never really learn it all.
Experience is the best teacher. Sometime, there is a breakthrough where you make the jump from "gotta get there at any cost, no matter how dangerous" to "I'd like to get there safely and alive". Once you make that jump, you've crossed a huge barrier.
Bottom line: remember that you're guiding thousands of pounds of machine through an obstacle course, and you MUST be in complete control of that machine at all times.
If you're not in control, people die.
