In the context of a driver’s license, 기능시험 refers to the skills test or basic driving skills test. It usually means the earlier test where you show you can handle the vehicle and perform required maneuvers.

So in this sentence:

• 기능시험 = the driving skills test
• 도로주행시험 = the road test / on-road driving test

The sentence is saying that the first test must be passed before you can take the second one.

Because 합격하다 normally takes 에, not 을.

So Korean says:

• 시험에 합격하다 = to pass an exam
• 대학에 합격하다 = to be admitted to / pass into a university

This is just the standard pattern you need to learn:

• 에 합격하다
• 에 떨어지다 = to fail / be rejected from

Even though English says pass a test, Korean uses pass at / pass into in structure, so 에 is natural here.

합격해야만 is built from:

• 합격하다 = to pass
• -아/어야 하다 = must / have to
• -만 = only

So 합격해야만 gives the sense of:

• only if you pass
• you must pass in order to...
• not unless you pass

It is stronger than just 합격해야.

Compare:

• 합격해야 도로주행시험을 볼 수 있습니다.
  = You have to pass to take the road test.

• 합격해야만 도로주행시험을 볼 수 있습니다.
  = You can take the road test only if you pass.
  This emphasizes the restriction more strongly.

Yes, 보다 often means to see/watch, but in Korean 시험을 보다 is a very common expression meaning to take an exam.

So:

• 시험을 보다 = to take an exam
• 시험을 치르다 = to take/sit an exam, a bit more formal or institutional
• 시험을 받다 is generally not used for take an exam

This is one of those expressions that has to be learned as a set phrase. Even though it sounds strange if translated word-for-word, 시험을 보다 is perfectly natural Korean.

볼 수 있습니다 means can take or are able to take.

It comes from:

• 보다 = to take (an exam), in this context
• -ㄹ/을 수 있다 = can / to be able to

So:

• 시험을 볼 수 있다 = can take the test

In this sentence, it does not just mean physical ability. It means that the rules allow it. So it is closer to:

• you are allowed to take the road test
• you become eligible to take the road test

Grammatically, -ㄹ/을 수 있다 can express ability or possibility, and in real contexts it often overlaps with permission/eligibility.

Here, because the sentence is about exam requirements, it means something like:

• you are allowed to take it
• you are eligible to take it
• it becomes possible under the rules

So this is not really about whether you are physically capable of taking the test. It is about whether the system permits it.

That is the normal Korean pattern.

Korean usually puts background information, conditions, and subordinate clauses before the main action.

So the structure is:

• 기능시험에 합격해야만 = only if you pass the skills test
• 도로주행시험을 볼 수 있습니다 = you can take the road driving test

A very literal structure would be:

• Only if you pass the skills test, you can take the road driving test.

This is completely natural in Korean word order.

Here, 에 is required by the verb 합격하다.

So it is not just a general location marker. It is part of the verb pattern:

• N에 합격하다 = pass N
• N에 떨어지다 = fail N / be rejected from N

You should learn 합격하다 together with 에 as a unit.

Because 있습니다 is the formal polite ending, often used in:

• official announcements
• written instructions
• guidebooks
• test or government-related information

Since this sentence sounds like something from a driver’s license manual or official explanation, 습니다 style fits very well.

A less formal spoken version would be:

• 기능시험에 합격해야만 도로주행시험을 볼 수 있어요.

And in casual speech:

• 기능시험에 합격해야만 도로주행시험 볼 수 있어.

Yes. The sentence would still be grammatical:

• 기능시험에 합격해야 도로주행시험을 볼 수 있습니다.

This still means:

• You have to pass the skills test to take the road test.

But 해야만 adds stronger emphasis:

• only if
• not unless

So 해야만 sounds a bit stricter and more exclusive. It is a good choice when talking about official requirements.

Yes. It is a compound noun:

• 도로 = road
• 주행 = driving, running, traveling
• 시험 = test/exam

So 도로주행시험 literally means road-driving test, which is why it is often translated as:

• road test
• on-road driving test

Breaking long Korean nouns into parts is very helpful, especially in formal or official vocabulary.

The sentence clearly says it is necessary.

It means:

• If you do not pass the skills test, you cannot take the road test.

But it does not necessarily mean passing is the only requirement in the larger real-world sense. There could be other requirements too. The sentence only tells you that passing the skills test is one required condition.

So logically, the emphasis is:

• passing the skills test is required before taking the road test

In speech, people often drop some particles or shorten the phrasing. For example:

• 기능시험 합격해야만 도로주행시험 볼 수 있어요.
• 기능시험 붙어야 도로주행시험 볼 수 있어요.

A few notes:

• 붙다 can mean to pass, in casual speech
• dropping 을 in 시험을 보다 is common in conversation
• 있습니다 often becomes 있어요 in everyday speech

So the full sentence is formal and complete, but real spoken Korean may sound lighter and more condensed.
