Practice, Prepare, and Calm Down

Being quiet and calm is very important for your driving test success. Here is an article I wrote about this topic.


Being able to legally drive in this country means that you have to pass two tests: a written exam and a road test. You must demonstrate your knowledge and skills in order to get your driver's license. The written test is fairly easy. The road exam is what most people have trouble with. Even student drivers who have been practicing for a long time can end up failing their road test if they're not properly prepared. Feeling overwhelmingly nervous is an issue that some people have to deal with as well.

What can you do in order to pass your exam so that you can get your driver's license? For starters, you need to make sure that you get plenty of practice. The amount of practice needed varies from person to person. It might take you just a few days to perfect something that might take another person months to perfect.

Getting a Good Teacher

Having a professional driver's education teacher helping you practice is perhaps the best thing you can do. However, if that isn't an option for you, you can still learn from a family member or a responsible adult that you trust. The person you practice with should be able to point your mistakes out to you without sounding mean. He or she should help you to understand what you are doing wrong and what you can do to improve.

Taking an Online Driver's Course

Another thing you can do to practice is sign up for an online driving course. Technology has evolved to the point at which one can learn how to drive online. While nothing beats actual practice, you can still learn the rules of the road and safety tips. You can take practice tests and be given an assessment on your weaknesses and strengths.

An online course can be tailored to suit you and your driving education needs. For instance, you can select your state and the intuitive guide will teach you the rules of your state. The practice quizzes will be based on your state's laws as well.

Learning to Stay Calm

After you take your course and get several practice hours in, you still might feel very nervous about your upcoming test. Some people fail on their first time taking it because they let their nerves get the better of them.

One of the easiest ways to calm your nerves is to remind yourself that it won't be the end of the world if you fail, and that you can keep taking it again and again until you pass. In actuality, it will be one of the easiest tests you ever take. Why? Because you can keep on taking it until you finally pass. You can always start over. This is more that can be said about many other tests you'll take in life.

Last but not least, try to get some sleep the night before the test. Eat a big breakfast. Before and during the test, take some deep breaths. As long as you do your best t stay calm, you should be able to focus on the road well enough to pass.
