• Read your state's driver's handbook multiple times. Having the most updated copy of your state’s driving handbook is crucial. Each read-through reinforces the information, so read the handbook cover to cover, highlighting vital information and writing notes as you go.
• Take your state's practice tests multiple times. Georgia DDS and other online resources offer practice tests that mimic the real exam. Repeated practice familiarizes you with the format and helps identify areas that need more focus.
• Make flashcards from your state's driver's handbook, then review them with someone else. Interactive learning aids in better understanding and retention of the information.
• Randomly open your state driver's handbook to a specific page, look at the sign and/or picture, and write down or explain what it means. Pay close attention to road signs' shapes, colors, and symbols, as these are a common topic on the test.
• Gain a deep understanding of traffic laws, speed limits, and right-of-way rules. Review safe driving practices, such as defensive driving techniques and how to handle different driving situations. This knowledge will make you feel more confident and in control on the road.
• Open your state's driver's handbook to the table of contents, then write down as much subject matter in each section as you can remember. Then, reread each section, taking notes on what you forgot.
• Give someone else your state's driver's handbook, have them flip through it, and ask you questions about its contents. Note what you get wrong so that you can review and focus on those areas.
• When riding with someone, take note of signs and look them up if you cannot recall what they mean. The same goes for specific events, think through what you should do if you see a school bus, if two cars simultaneously come to a stop sign, etc. Do you know what you are supposed to do if you are driving? If not, or if you are unsure, look it up.
• Remember, being well-rested is crucial before the test. It significantly improves your focus and performance, boosting your chances of passing the test. So, make sure you get a good night's sleep before the big day.
• Once you are confident, the instructor will encourage you to start the lessons in low-traffic areas.

Any other tips or trends?

• One common mistake many students make is rushing through the written exam. This can lead to misreading and answering questions incorrectly. Even if you know the answer, take a moment to read the question thoroughly. This will help you understand what is being asked and allow you to provide an educated answer based on your knowledge. Remember, the DMV doesn't reward speed, so take your time and get it right.
• After you've completed the exam, take a moment to review your answers before submitting. If time allows, re-read each question to ensure you've chosen the best possible answer. Once you're confident with your selections, submit your test. This step will give you peace of mind that you've made the best choices, helping you avoid unnecessary mistakes.
