Common Mistakes to Avoid

Several missteps test takers commonly make, which can be avoided with conscious effort and attention to detail:

Pitfalls and Misconceptions

One of the most frequent errors is misinterpreting the question’s intent or misunderstanding a particular road sign or regulation. Slow down and read each question carefully to avoid these pitfalls. Additionally, familiarize yourself with common misconceptions about road rules and regulations that may appear on the exam.

Not Studying Road Signs and Signals
