Hi Lission

I can't wait to take my driving test.

Still have to wait for six months.[O]

I would probably say any of these.

I' m a new driver.

I just passed my driving test.

I just got my driver's license.

I just got my L's (learner's license) / P's (provisional drivers license)

In here where I live, you will be first issued with a provisional drivers license once you've passed your driving test. So you would here people refer to those who have just passed their driving tests as 'P-platers'. Which, unfortunately, is becoming synonymous with dangerous driving practices.
