How To Pass the West Virginia Driver's License Test

There’s an almost endless list of advice for people taking the driving test for the first time, but these are some tried and true methods that can help you succeed when your test day arrives.

Get behind the wheel as often as you can. The more comfortable you get taking practice tests for your permit, driver’s license and road test, the more mentally prepared you’ll be when exam day comes.
Read, and re-read the West Virginia driver’s handbook. This should be your number one resource for any questions you have on driving laws and requirements for gaining your driver’s license. Even the best online resources may leave some out of date information online, so make sure you have the current year’s driver’s handbook to double check any information you think may be questionable online.

It’s the oldest cliche in the book but get some rest the night before your exam. Being tired can only hurt your performance, so don’t let that happen. The same goes with making sure you have something to eat. Being hungry is a distraction that you can’t afford when you’re trying to pass your driving test.
Don’t panic if you come to a question you don’t know the answer to. Remember, you don’t need to answer every question correctly, you just need to pass. So if you run into a question or two that you’re not sure of, do your best to eliminate obviously wrong answers and make an educated guess.
