How to Prepare for the Michigan Written Driving Test
As you prepare to get your license, it can be a very exciting moment. You can't wait to hit the road. However, you need to make sure you can actually pass the written Michigan driving test before you get too excited. The state requires you to take this test in order to get student permission. They want to make sure you know and understand the rules of the road. The written test isn't too hard, but if you don't study and prepare properly, there's a chance you might fail the exam. You don't want this to happen, so you need to prepare for your exam with the following tips.
Driver's guide
You need to have a copy of the Michigan Driving Manual titled What Every Driver Should Know. This guide contains all the rules of the road, including parking and traffic rules, road signs and safety regulations. All questions that will be on the test are taken directly from this book, so it is important that you read and study it. Luckily, you can now get a copy of the manual in PDF format, so you can simply download it to your computer. You can also download it to your tablet, smartphone, or e-reader if you like. This will allow you to have the information on a portable device so that you can study it when you have free time.
Online tests
In addition to reading and studying the manual, you should start taking online practice tests. These practice tests will include the same questions as the written driver tests. One site you can visit for some practice exams is the DMV Written Test. They have several tests to help you prepare for the actual written exam. The test has 50 questions and you will need to answer at least 40 of them correctly to pass the test.
It is recommended that you first study the manual and then take a practice test to see how you do it. Review the questions where you got it wrong and see where you made your mistakes. Then study again and take another practice test. This will help you improve your knowledge and your confidence will increase once you start taking practice tests.
Get the app
You can also download apps to your phone or tablet to help you prepare for the test. Apps are available for Android and iPhone, and they can give you extra practice to make it easier to take the test. Two options you may want to consider include the Drivers Ed app and the DMV permit test.
Last tip
When the day of the exam arrives, try to relax. Don't rush the test. Read the questions and answers carefully and the correct answer should be obvious to you. We wish you good luck with your test!
