Topic 1 · Introduction
When studying for the DMV test, what should you do with difficult sections?
- Write down questions and review them — correct answer
- Memorize without understanding
- Skip them
Why
Write down the specific questions and come back to them, rather than rereading the whole section and hoping.
Practise this in the real format
Reading one answer is not the same as sitting the test. The simulator runs the first-time adult form: 36 questions, 6 mistakes allowed, 83% to pass.
