Your score is

Don’t let simple errors detract from your success. One common mistake among test takers is rushing through the exam. Remember, this is about quality, not just speed. Read each question carefully and give thought to your answer. In preparation, practice your objective and hazard recognition exercises — notice things you don’t always see when you’re behind the wheel of a car.

In addressing knowledge-based questions, be cautious of ‘trick’ questions or answers that seem too obvious. Use logic and apply the information you’ve studied with care and detail.

On the physical side, take care of your well-being. Ensure you’re well-rested and focused during study sessions. Be sure to take regular breaks and stay hydrated. These simple practices can significantly improve your learning retention and test-taking performance.
