It has been years since my drivers test, I’ll try to remember everything I had to do for you.

There is an eye test first, you look into a box for this and identify things in the distance.

The written test if I remember correctly had questions on one page front and back so I would say maybe only 100 questions that would be 50 each side.

These were easy questions like how many sides does a stop sign have 3, 4 or 6?

What is a Yield sign for?

It was a mix of multi choice and questions you had to write a short answer for.

What is the hand signal for right hand turn? 1 arm straight out 2 arm bent down 3 arm bent up

Now for the driving test you need to practice making a three point turn, and parallel parking. I was lucky I didn’t need to parallel park I could just pull right in! Yeah!

But I did need to drive around the block and make a three point turn in the middle of the street. You can not cheat and use someone’s drive way.

That was it, easy to pass don’t worry about it.

By the way the tester was a town police officer, just letting you know in advance to prepare you not to be scared.

Edit wow it has been so many years I almost forgot some important things!

Two hands on the wheel at all times, even steering they want hand over hand turning not (the easy reach under the wheel with one hand and turn the wheel all the way around in one smooth motion way.)

Signaling a half block to the turn long ways and the block width short ways. Now these are small town blocks it may be different there for you I heard city blocks are about 3 or 4 of our blocks in that case that would not apply I think it is a measure of feet actually.

Hand positioning most of the while driving is I think 2 O-clock and 11 O-clock. Keep your fingers relaxed don’t grip the wheel too tightly, while driving look around do not let your self get “Yellow Line Hypnosis.” What this means is you stare at the road in front of you and before you know it you are in a daze almost sleep like and will not be aware of potential dangers.

If people pull out in front of you respond quickly but not drastically, in other words quick to put your foot on the break but press on the break never slam on the break and also remain calm that you did not hit her/him instead of shocked you almost hit him or her. If this happens and you react quickly but conservatively and calmly this could boost your score.

Yes someone else’s bad driving can help you if you respond correctly and avoid an accident while staying calm.

you have to find a way to not stress over it and make your self so nervous you feel like you’re going to fail before you even try it is really easy if you just study about an hour or two everyday the questions are all mutiple choice so you dont have to wrorry about that as far as how many i can’t recall how many it was you can find practice tests online i dont know what state you are in so i cant give you a link to anything becuase every state differs a lil you can bring someone they just have to wait in lobby for you a tip to rem is to draw out the road signs or write somehting you want to remember a few times and go over it everyday

Each State has a slightly different test, most States are multi choice. Read the handbook and it will not be hard. You may bring a Friend to the DMV while you take the test, but they can not be in the testing area with you.

For the Road test, you cannot have anyone with you except the tester. Again the friend can wait in the DMV waiting room.

Most states have the Driver Handbook online, just google it. You will see many small differences in State laws so do not take advice from your parents/friends/ relatives who passed the test from another State.

good luck

The more you study the handbook, the more you will remember at test time. As a matter of fact, some of their questions will be so ridiculous to you, you’ll have to roll your eyes at them. I’m not kidding. I studied everyday, for 2 weeks, and got 100 % on the test. I even shocked myself. The hardest part is the distances and such….Just relate them to other things…. like 15 feet could be 15 apples, etc…. Hey, good luck to you!
