If I don't pass the driving permit test, how should I prepare for the retake?

New Driver Checklist

If you don't pass the driving permit test on the first try, don't get discouraged. Many people fail the test initially. Some are overly nervous when they take the exam, while others neglect to take the time to study properly.

The basic rules of test preparedness that you learn in school also apply to doing well on your learners permit exam. Did you forget to eat breakfast and end up more concerned with your growling stomach instead of the exam questions? Were you overly tired and thus prone to making careless errors? Did you get lost on the way to the DMV office and have to rush in order to make it to your appointment on time? These errors are easy enough to avoid during the driving permit test retake.

As far as exam content goes, the best course of action is to make sure you've thoroughly reviewed your state's driver manual. Take any drivers license practice test questions that are in the manual, then look on your state's DMV Web site to see if an additional practice test is offered. If not, you may want to look into taking a permit practice test from a third party Web site.

Another good way to make sure you're prepared for your driving permit test is to have a friend or family member think of practice questions to evaluate your knowledge of the material. This can help you pinpoint any particular areas of the exam you may be having trouble with, such as identifying road signs or knowing how to operate your vehicle under adverse weather conditions.
