STUDYING TIPS FOR YOUR BC DRIVING KNOWLEDGE TEST

Getting your BC driver’s license is a huge deal. You’re on the road, flexing your independent muscles, and experiencing a taste of freedom. Before you get there, however, you have to pass a written test. One of the best things you can do to prepare is study, study, study. To help make the most of your time, try these tricks for studying for your written driving test.

Take Practice Tests

            Taking ICBC practice test is a great way to see where you start and what aspects you need to brush upon. They are broken down by licence types, so you don’t have to waste your time learning things that may not apply to your test. Most practice tests are written by driving instructors or field experts who have extensive knowledge of how to pass.

The best thing to do is to take a practice test for the BC driving test before you begin studying. After you get the score back, pay close attention to the ones you got wrong and review those items specifically. This saves you time because you don’t need to study things you already know.

Know the Whys

           When people are studying for their written driver’s test, they often get so focused on just memorizing the right answers. Once the BC driving test gets in front of you, however, nerves kick in, and all of that knowledge goes out the window. One way to combat the nerves and walk-in confidently to your test is to be able to explain the answers.

For every question on the practice test, be sure to take a moment and explain why you chose the answer you did. When you go to take the actual driver’s written test, you’ll be able to quickly eliminate any wrong answers by explaining why they don’t fit. Again, this is especially helpful for the questions you got wrong, because you’ll have more practice with them and you’ll gain an accurate understanding of the rules of the road.

Pace Yourself

            Don’t fall into the trap of starting to study for your written BC driving test the night before you’re supposed to take it. It’s better to take the time and honestly prepare yourself than to spend the time and the money when you aren’t ready. Start at least three weeks to a month out and carve out an hour every night to read the manual, take a practice test, or review any materials. This slow and steady pace will increase retention because you’ll be practicing it on a regular basis. By the time you take your test, you’ll be a road rules expert!
