Permit Test

[Moonlight_Bella]

So today, on a Friday the 13th, I went for my permit, okay? I got all the information, I took a really great picture and I thought it was going well. I studied for three weeks.

I didn't pass it.

I feel like some kind of idiot because from everyone else I hear, they say its "sooo easy!" and "really simple, I didn't need to study!" It was hard. They had about 10 trick questions on trucks (which, has about a line or two in the manual) 10 mixed and mashed seat belt questions (Over 18, under 21, front passangers, back passangers) even some on when you get pulled over. AT 15. Jeez.

Am I the only insane one who thought this was hard? I was allowed to miss 11 questions. There were 40 points total.

It was going down, I think I had nine more to go. I had missed 10. And I got it wrong..I'm very depressed about it now and my parents refuse to take me tomorrow to try again because they think I need to study more. I studied my but off every day for at least a good two hours.

What am I doing wrong? Please, if anyone has some good advice, I would really appricate it.

I got a 90 on my permit test.
& I didn't even open the booklet thingy
or pay attention in driver's ed. sweatdrop

You could always study, & then have your parents quiz you on the stuff you studied.
Better luck next time?

I failed my permit test the first two times. Before I took it again the third time, I read through the whole driver's handbook front to back. I passed the third time. 3nodding

I hope I can only pass on three times a charm too.

Hmm...Well I when I took the permit test last year there were 2 parts, road signs and rode rules. Each had 20 questions and you had to get 15 or more questions right on each. I failed the rules test. I mean when in the hell am I ever going to need to know the proper way to buckle in a child or at what age you can stop using the child safety seat. I don't plan on running a babysitting servic/day care when I get older.

Edit: But I got my permit, I just paid 5 dollars to retake that half of the test and passed the second time.

Lucky you..we don't get to just retake it as soon as possible. BUT I know what you mean about failing the rules. Its something, we as American's fail to understand. xD

It took me a couple times to get my permit. So don't feel too bad. You can always take it again

Um, no. Not always. I'm taking my class over the summer and I still have to take the test.

All I did for my permit was take the online test a few times and memorize all the answers. My neighbor studied his butt off and failed the test 3 times. Try taking the practice test on the dmv's website, it's a copy of the official test.

Most of the questions were common sense in my state.

I passed pretty much with flying colors.
