Reasons to Take a Practice Permit Test Illinois

While you dream of hitting the open road and taking your friends to a concert, you might not be thinking about the Illinois permit test that you need to pass first. In order to receive an unrestricted driver’s license, you must first spend some time learning to drive with a parent or guardian with a learner’s permit. The permit test ensures that you understand the basic rules of the road, local laws and road signs. You can’t stop and read the signs while you’re driving.

The permit test comes from the Illinois Rules of the Road manual. It consists of 35 questions, and 15 of those questions are specifically about the road signs. You must answer 28 questions correctly to pass and start learning to drive. So how do you do that? Make Driver Knowledge and its practice tests a part of your study routine. Here’s why:

Confidence

Half the battle in passing any test is the confidence to know that you can. As you take multiple practice tests, you find your confidence in the answers building. Even if you panic on test day, your confidence will help you calm down and ace the Illinois permit test.

Maximize Your Study Time

You’re a busy teen. Between school and a social life, there isn’t a lot of time left over for studying for the permit test. Taking a series of practice permit tests helps you identify the areas where you need to spend that precious time studying. As you answer each question, you immediately see if you answered it correctly, and if not, you see the correct answer.

Learn the Test Format

When you take the test at the Illinois Department of Motor Vehicles, the questions are multiple choice. The Illinois permit practice tests that you take are in the same format to make you more comfortable answering the same types of questions in the same format. The familiarity can help keep you calm and focused on test day.

Safe driving!
