In 91 when I took my commercial license test (Passenger), the machine I used was video (well more PowerPoint / HyperCard) and had pictures of the situation and big colored buttons with the letters. It didn't take a lot of language skills.

I just took a regular license test, and it had headphones providing narration accompanying on-screen animation. Someone who can't read could certainly pass it with no trouble at all. It is probably designed that way.
