Do Well in Driver's Education

Taking a driver's education course can be a little intimidating. But if you know what you're doing, it can be a lot easier.

Steps

  1. Take serious notes. The process of writing things down aids in remembering them. Also, take notes on things you think you won't need; you just might need them.
  2. Behave. Simply paying your full attention to the teacher will help you do better. You will catch more of what he/she says, and you will get the teacher's respect.
  3. Study. Read your "Rules of the Road" book through several times. Find online practice tests. Do anything to get to know the rules like the back of your hand.
  4. Pay attention when riding in a car. Watch the road signs, how the driver signals, think through how you would handle a situation, etc. First hand experience is one of the best ways to learn.
  5. Focus when taking tests. Don't let other kids in the classroom steal your attention. Staying focused will help you understand and answer questions correctly.
  6. Be relaxed on the road. When driving with instructor, be as relaxed as possible. However, don't let your standards down. Always keep your hands at 9 and 3 (or 10 and 2 depending on what you were taught). Feel free to talk!

Tips

  • Be friendly to others in the class. It's not good to be the teacher's pet with all your classmates hating you.
  • STUDY! STUDY! STUDY!
  • Become the teacher's pet. If the teacher likes you, he might be more relax with you.

Warnings

  • Don't cheat.
  • Don't become someone's enemy in the class.
