In the state of Maryland, if I'm over the age of 18 do I still have to hold my permit for 4 months or can I just try my driving test?

As of October 1, 2005 you now must hold the learner's permit for at least 6 months before eligible for a provisional license in Maryland. This looks to be true even if you are over 18 since Maryland has a Rookie Driver Graduated Licensing System. You might want to double check these facts with the Maryland Vehicle Administration (MVA).

It seems that after gaining driving experience with the learner's permit for 6 months, maintaining a clean driver's record and completing a driver's education course; new motorist are eligible for a provisional license. After the provisional license holder requirements are met, the MVA automatically coverts the motorist's license into having a full driver's license status. When the provisional license expires the driver will need to go in to renew it and at that time will be issued a full license.

Maryland Auto Insurance is just a click away.
