If you’ve spent any time studying your state’s driver’s manual in order to prepare for your permit test, you may have realized that earning a Passing score is easier said than done. The problem with driver’s manuals is that they overwhelm readers with too much information presented at one time. The language is dense, not to mention bland and boring, which makes them altogether not the best study tools to use in order to prepare for your permit test.
But, if not the manual provided by your state’s DMV, what are you supposed to use to help you pass your permit test? We strongly recommend Zutobi, our online learning platform that specializes in helping new drivers prepare for and pass their tests all in a fun, engaging way.
We have gamified driver’s education, and our unique teaching approach is productive and efficient in teaching you all you need to know to increase your chance of passing on your first try. Here are some of the helpful features we offer:
The official learner’s permit tests are designed to test all of your vehicle, driving, and road related knowledge. Each state has their own version of the permit test, meaning you need to study state-specific questions. You can expect to be asked questions on topics like road signs and their meanings, traffic laws and regulations, safe driving skills, and vehicle specifics like high beam headlights and when to use them.
Each of our courses has all of these factors in mind to help you pass your test, regardless of where you live, on your first try.
Each permit practice test has questions nearly identical to that state’s current and past permit tests, so you can challenge yourself with exam-like questions that you might see on your actual written exam.
In addition to using exam-like questions, we also provide answers and explanations to all the questions. Altogether, the questions combined with our summarized manual make the perfect permit test study guide.
You need to prepare thoroughly by studying the manual and ideally doing a large amount of DMV practice tests. Since about 50% fail the test nation-wide, it’s clear that you need to study state-specific content that’s up-to-date and accurate for your state’s traffic laws.
All the information that is tested can be found in your state’s driver’s manual. Thoroughly reading the driver's manual is very important since you’ll gain in-depth knowledge of what you need to know. Don't make the mistake of just doing practice tests or just reading the handbook - it’s the combination of the two that is so powerful.
Zutobi provides both a summarized manual and online tests so you can come fully prepared.
