How to Prepare for the Oregon Driver's Written Exam

Those who wish to obtain their driver's license in Oregon must first pass a written test and obtain a permit. The state needs to make sure that any potential drivers know the rules of the road well before they can actually get on the road, and a written test is a good way to judge that. Many people are intimidated by the idea of ​​a written test, but this is not the case. The test is easy to pass if you take the time to prepare and study properly. This is easy to do if you follow the tips below.

Driver's guide

First you need to make sure you have access to the Oregon Driver's Manual. It's available in English and Spanish, and you can also choose an audio version if you'd like. Some may want to download the PDF as well as the audio option to complete it. The guide contains all the information you need to know to drive in the state and pass the written exam. In fact, all questions on the exam will come straight from the pages of the textbook.

When you download the guide on your computer, consider adding it to some of your other devices as well. For example, you can put it on your phone, tablet or e-book. The guide covers parking rules, traffic rules, safety, traffic signs and more.

Online tests

After you've had time to read and study the manual, you'll want to see how much of that knowledge you've retained before you take the actual test. The best way to do this is to take an online test. A number of sites offer online tests for Oregon and you can use them to assess your knowledge and find out what you need to study further. You can visit the DMV written test to find some tests.

Take a few of these tests as you study the manual and you'll notice that your score keeps going up. Even if you don't miss a single question on your first mock exam, keep taking these tests. Then the real exam will seem easy.

Get the app

For even more practice and test preparation, download the app on your phone or tablet. Two good options include the Drivers Ed app and the DMV Permission Test. They will help you further expand your knowledge to better prepare for the real exam. One of the nice things about using apps is that you can just pull out your device when you have a few extra minutes to study.

Last tip

Don't make the mistake that so many others have made during the actual exam by rushing through the test to finish it. You need to slow down and read the questions to understand what they are asking. Then the correct answer will be obvious thanks to all your preparation. Good luck!
