How to Prepare for the North Carolina Written Driving Test
While you're excited to be out on the open road while you're driving, you need to slow down a bit. Before you can take your driving test, you must pass a written exam in order to obtain student permission. The written test is a method used by the government to make sure people know and understand the rules of the road before they actually start driving. It is very important that you take this test and it causes a lot of people to panic. Fortunately, the test is easy to pass if you take the time to study and prepare for it. Read on to learn more about what you need to do to prepare for the test.
Driver's guide
The best way to get started is to get a copy of the North Carolina Driver's Handbook, which is published by their Department of Motor Vehicles. This handbook contains all the information you need to know to follow the law and be safe on the roads. It covers road signs, signals, sidewalk markings, parking and traffic rules, emergencies, and more. All the questions the government asks on the written exam are based on the information in this handbook, so you can see why it's important to study it.
A few years ago you had to go to your local DMV to pick up a copy of a book, but today it's much easier. Instead, you can simply download the PDF and save it to your computer so you can access it while you study. You may also find it convenient to put it on an e-reader, smartphone, or tablet. This way you can have the manual handy whenever you want to learn a little.
Online tests
In addition to reading the manual, it is very important that you also take the time to complete some practice tests online. These practice tests will give you a good idea of how much you actually know and how much more you need to learn. After passing the test, review the answers in which you made a mistake. Study some more and then take another test. You will see your score keep going up and you will soon feel more confident when it comes to the real test. You can visit the DMV written test to find some tests for North Carolina.

Apps for your smartphone and tablet are another good way to get extra time to study and practice before taking tests. Applications, many of which are free, are available for all mobile device platforms. Some potential apps you might want to download are the Drivers Ed app and the DMV Permission Test.
Last tip
