  • Spend as much time as you can with the MIssissippi driver’s manual. You can take every practice permit test MS has to offer, but you’ll also want to have the most recent copy of the state’s driver’s manual and use that as the foundation for your studying as it contains everything you need to know about the state’s driving laws.
  • Prepare the night before to reduce stress. The night before the test make sure you get organized. Know where you’re going, have all of your paperwork in order and have a plan to get there early. Avoiding last minute problems with some pre-planning will put you in a good position to pass the test.
