When taking the driving test, there are some skills you must know, otherwise you're doomed to fail. Here is an article I wrote about this issue, with some vital skills for your driving test.

How to Pass a Driver's Test - A Checklist of Skills You Need to Learn

If you are preparing for your driver's test, the most important thing you need to do is get enough practice. Some student drivers need more practice than others, so there's no set standard on how often you should prepare. However, your state might have a set limit on the minimum number of hours, so be sure to get at least that amount of practice in. The more driving experience you get, the better. Have a responsible adult go with you as you drive. Ask him or her to point out your mistakes and what you can do to improve your skills.

Here is a checklist of some of the important skills you need to learn in order to pass the road test:

· Always steer smoothly and never jerk the wheel.
· Always stop the vehicle slowly. Brake ahead of time and know exactly where and when to stop.
· Accelerate smoothly, yet don't let the engine stall.
· Follow the vehicle ahead of you at a safe distance by using the three-second rule.
· Know what every single traffic signal means and never neglect to obey them.
· Obey the speed limits, unless you need to adjust for weather or road conditions.
· Don't forget to signal for every single turn and lane change.
· Never begin driving until everyone, including yourself and the passengers, is wearing a seatbelt.
· Make sure the car is in the correct gear when driving.
· Always scan for potential hazards on the roads, and anticipate other drivers' movements.
· Always know when and to whom you should yield, and what you should do at a four way stop.
· Know how to work the following: wipers, heater, defroster, brakes, headlights, parking lights, high beams, and all the other instruments in your vehicle.

Follow all of these tips and you will great improve your chances of passing the driver's test! You can also download a good study guide on the internet. There are online programs designed to help student drivers. They provide more information than the regular DMV guidebooks. Furthermore, the information is presented in an interested manner, which you will find to be easy to follow and understand.

Follow a good online driver's guidebook to learn everything you need to know for passing your road test. If you are feeling nervous, you can reduce your apprehension and stress by learning driving test secrets!
