The safest tactic, however, is to aim for a full score on each DMV practice test.

Take as many tests as you need to feel comfortable with all answers. Learn by your mistakes. If needed, use the DMV Driver's Manual and read up on the facts.

How to Study for the Permit Test?

Permit practice works best when you prepare well in advance. Don't rely on a few days cramming before the official exam. Give it a month or more.

Spread your study sessions over time, take on the manual one chapter at the time.

Use practice tests you can trust. Not all online resources are fully reliable.

Don't just memorize answers from practice tests. Logical reasoning and discussing traffic rules with friends and family work better.
