The Importance of Practicing for the Texas DPS Driving Test

Whether you’re a teenager learning to drive for the first time or an adult who never learned to drive, you need to pass a knowledge test before receiving a learner’s permit to learn to drive. This knowledge test covers things, such as safety, road signs, and laws that govern driving. Passing this test can seem daunting since it’s so important, but it doesn’t have to be. You can start by downloading the Texas Drivers Handbook and studying it.

The handbook has all the answers. The state uses this handbook to create the driver’s knowledge test that you have to pass. After studying the sections, you can test your knowledge with a practice test. This practice test can help you identify areas where you need more help and need to spend more time studying. As you take the practice test and score higher each time, you build the confidence that you want to pass the actual test.

Driver Knowledge offers eight tests and one in Spanish for you to practice. Two of these tests are dedicated to road signs and helps you tackle the more confusing signs until you have them down cold. With so many rules on the road, six of the tests are made up of the various rules. Each of the tests is multiple choice in a format similar to the actual test to help you get comfortable with it.

As you answer each of the 25 questions, you see either a green check or a red “x”. If you miss the question and get the red “x”, a green check appears beside the correct answer to show you the right answer. You can take each test as often as you like so that you are confident of passing the Texas DPS knowledge test on your first try and get your permit to learn how to drive.
