There is a whole variety of test driving jobs with different qualifications necessary. Most test drivers are engineers trained with a driving safety training. After this with specialized trainings (performance trainings etc.) you can further improve your qualifications.
Basic tests can be performed by people with only a drivers license and a safety training but those tests are very repetitive and get boring quickly.
For international test drives on public roads it is quite common to pair an engineer and a mechanic as a team of which both are qualified to drive a test vehicle but the engineer is mostly responsible for the test execution.
If you want to become a test driver (and do the interesting stuff) I suggest you study electronics or computer science with a bachelor degree and then apply at an engineering company as a test driver. Of course a drivers license is required and bringing at least one driving safety training to the job is an advantage in the application process.

In Missouri, if you fail the written driver test three times, you must wait 30 days before you can retake the test. This waiting period is designed to give you time to study and prepare for the next attempt. After the 30 days, you can schedule another test.
